 short, not passing Ix^yond the front of the head, witli tiie third joint sliort 

 and minute. Tin' f()re wings are o|)a(iue, deep-oeh icons, and paler at hase; on 

 the inner fouitli is a white line forming a single, large, and acute angle on the 

 median vein, along w hi(di it is prolonged beyond the l)asal third of the wing, 

 extending out nearly as far as the discal dot, though situated below it. There is 

 a large, irr(>gular, silvery-white di.seal dot, and just !)eyond, a broad silvery 

 line tlilliise on the outside;; it curves inward just below the n^edian vein, and 

 slightly inward o|)|)()site the discal dot. Half-way between this line and 

 the outer edge of the wing is a row of irregidar white spots, from which 

 sometimes run whitish streaks to the fringe, which, between the white spots, 

 is ochreous-brown. These marking show through liiintly on the under side. 

 The hintl wings are pale whitish ochreous above; beneath, washed with 

 yellow-ochreous upon and on each side of the venules. The costal area is 

 yellowish. A light shade beyond the round, whitish, discal dot. The legs are 

 pale, concolorous with the upper side of the hind wings.

This fine moth differs remarkably from any Geometrid we have, in the 

 opaque, rich, velvety-ochreous fore wings, with the three broad silvery lines 

 and larire oblonsf discal dot. It is verv unlike in style of coloration the two 

 other species of the genus, and would scarcely, at the first glance, be referred 

 to the same genus as C. ditu'srina.

I saw ^\'alker^s type-specimen in the British Museum; it is quite distinct 

 and new to me.
