1 S and 1 9. — This fine species l^elongs to Guende's first group, and is 

 allied to the Eifropean C. repandaria. The male is ash-colored, with num- 

 erous black scales, and is clouded more or less with dull ochreons patches. 

 Antennse well pectinated. The usual three transverse, black, difiusc lines 

 present; the basal one is much curved, a little wavy, and ends on the costa 

 at the basal third. On the costa, it is straight, just below pointed sid)acutely 

 outward, and curved outward a little just below the median vein, thence 

 going obliquely to the ])asal fourth of the inner edge of the wing. Fnun 

 the inner edge, a supplementary diffuse brown line accompanies it on the 

 inner edge as far as the median vein. The middle line is sinuate, curved just 

 l)elow the costa, and toward the costa Ijecomes much broader. The outer 

 line is more clear, runs near the middle line, and consists of three wavy, 

 slightly-marked scallops, one point resting on the low^er submedian venule, 

 the other on the third median venule. A submargiiial, zigzag, white line; a 

 scalloped, black, distinct line on the edge of the wing. Fringe ash-brown; 

 three difi'use ochreous-brown patches on the inner edge of the wing. Hind 

 ■wings marked lik(! the fore wings: the l)asal line diffuse, blackish, straight; 

 a rather obscure discal dot (none visil)le on fore wings). An outer slightly- 

 scalloped line, like the basal one. not reaching the costa. It goes straight
