rei^ioii; a deep, large scalloi), with a projection, at tiic bottom of the sinus in 

 the discal space; another larger sinus lirlow the niediiin vein. These scallops 

 ;ire tiili'tl in l)y a l)roa(l whiti' i)an(l, the outer edge of \vlii(di is either straight 

 or a little sinuous. Beyond this white line, the margin ot the wing is dark, 

 otten with a iiiint. sul)niarginal, white. \v;ivy line, tlu' scallops of which are 

 tilled by obscure, dark patches. PYinge short, whitish, checkeicd with i)rowu. 

 Hind wings whitish-gray, sprinkled on the outer half with dark specks, souu-- 

 times with a dark, curved, sinuous shade just beyond the middle of the wing, 

 Beneath, both wings are pale-ochreous, including the veins, and dusted with 

 black scales. The medial shade and discal spot are fiiiiitly reproduced ; the 

 edo-e of the wing is clear, with a l)road, ditfuse, submarginal shade; the outer 

 edge of the mesial band is black and linear on (he costa. Hind wings dusted 

 more than the anterior pair, with a deeply-scalloped black line, with a whitish 

 shade beyond. Legs ochreous-gray.

This tine moth may he recognized by the nearly white ground-color of 

 the wings, with the broad, mesial, blackish, mottled band, darker on the 

 edges, bordered on each side with a broad white band, and inclosing a large, 

 oblong, oval, white, discal spot. It differs so much from C. migi/s/ioraria that 

 it would scarcely be referred to the same genus. 



It does not vary much, except in the presence or absence of the outer 

 sinuous shade of the hind wings, and the degree in which the wings are 

 speckled witli dark scales. The Floridan example, though in bad condition, 

 does not difler from nortluM-n ones, except that the margin of the wing is 

 clearer and the adjoining white band wider. This is quite a ditlerent species 

 from C. latioruta Walk., from East Florida, the type of which I saw in the 

 British Museum.
