dark and dusky, with still darker obscure spots on the ends of the 

 nervules. Hind wings dusky, pale at base, with two parallel whitish 

 zigzag lines, shaded within with dusky; edge dusky; fringe a little 

 paler than on the fore wings, with dusky spots ; no discal dots above. 



Beneath, the wings are dusky, with a faint luteous tinge to- 

 wards the apex ; costa with four dusky marks, the third forming 

 the beginning of the outer extra-discal line, which is broadly sin- 

 uated opposite the discal dot, is angulated outwards slightly on 

 the median vein, and inwards again on the second or third 

 median vein. This line, on the hind wings, is regularly curved, an- 

 gulated obtusely inwards on the inner edge of the wing. Beyond, is 

 a dusky obscure line, a dusky apical streak, and below a little dusky 

 on the edge. Fringe paler than above, with a peculiar, somewhat 

 luteous tinge, interrupted with dusky nervular sjjots. Discal dots 

 very distinct, being linear on the fore wings, and ovate on the sec- 

 ondaries. Legs dusky, annulated with white, abdomen with two 

 dorsal rows of dark spots beginning on the second segment. 



Length .50 ; fore wings .65 inch. 



This species closely resembles C. dextinata, but differs in the dark 

 dusky fringe, which Moschler states to be white In C. destinata ; also 

 in the two white lines being broadly angulated in the middle, and in 

 having the broad lobe of the extra discal line well rounded, with 

 the three teeth subequal, where in C. destinata they are very unequal. 

 These three lines are much farther apart, especially on the inner 

 edge, than in C. destinata, and the wing seems to be more uniformly 

 dusky than in the other species, as the broad band between the basal 

 and second line is dusky, like the rest of the wing. 



It is also closely allied to Moschler's Lygris luguhrata, which seems 

 to be a true Cidaria, but differs in the checkered fringe, in the two 

 middle bands being united into one, and In the two whitish bands on 

 the hind wings being more zigzag. Otherwise In the general style of 

 markings and coloration, It approaches very closely Moschlei-'s spe- 

 cies.
