 Hind wings small, shoit, the apex nuH'h pro(hic(ul, the; inner edge; much 

 shorter than the outer edge, which is ratiu'r full. Venation: a single sul)- 

 costal cell; the two discal venules together tl)rin a renKirkai)ly straight Hue. the 

 jHisterior not i)eiu<r ol)li(pie, in this respect dillering I'roni all the other gencsra 

 of the suiiliunily. The second subcostal venule eo-originates with the (iftli. 

 Hind legs as usual. Abdomen rather slender, usually slightly crested dorsally 

 and laterally. Coloration: gray, with numerous transverse wavy lines usually 

 present on the hiiul wings; prominent 'discal dots, with conspicuous costal 

 spots, and usually a l)lack band at the base of the a))domen. 



This extensive genus may be readily determined by the small size ot 

 the sjiecies, the long narrow fore wings, and by the short hind wings, which 

 are much elongated laterally toward the apex, aud by the inner edge of the 

 small hind wings i)eing much shorter than the tuU convex outer edge. 



The diflerent species vary much in t()rni, and consideral)ly in marking.-?. 

 C. subapicata has such long wings and unusual style of coloration that I mis- 

 took it for a ('//csias, which it somewhat resi;mbles. 



LaiTii "more or less short; raide ; keeled on the side, often marked 

 with dorsal chevrons, with a small aiul rounded head ; living on trees or low 

 plants". 



I'upa ''slender, conical, pointed.'' — Guenee. 



Thou'di Hiibncr's genera have been usually wcdl indicated, in the present 

 genus he entirely liiiled to establish a natural group, and his names should 

 accordingly fall into the rank of .synonyms.
