6 .—Color of the preceding but without the brown shading over m. nervules 
or the paler subcostal shade. More uniformly gray, shaded with pale testaceous 
brownish, with all the transverse markings more distinct. The geminate 
transverse posterior line is well expressed by a subcontinuous inner dark line 
and a succeeding pale shade. The veins are picked out by dark scales. A 
basal whitish subcostal fleck and black submedian streak. Ordinary lines 
marked on costal edge. T. a. line discernible, outwardly oblique, approximating 
to t. p. line toward internal margin. Reniform testaceous with faint marginal 
line, with an upward and inward extension which may be the fusion of the 
orbicular but which gives the appearance of a large compound spot notched 
superiorly. Terminal space testaceous brownish, interrupted by longitudinal 
pale dashes on either side of vein 38. A terminal dark line forming inter- 
spaceal cuneiform marks. Secondaries much as in ramosula; the veins are 
marked with darker scales and the common line of the under-surface is here 
reflected. Beneath whitish gray of a warm tint, powdered sparsely with dark 
scales; no borders but distinct discal dots and finely dentate continued subter- 
minal line on both wings. Collar whitish gray, without middle line, but with 
an upper marginal distinct black line which separates the darker discolorous 
tegulae,

In both this and the succeeding species the head is larger, the eyes 
more prominent, and the palpi longer than in C. ramosula.

4 .—This is best described comparatively. There are no traces, or these are 
but extremely illegible, of the transverse lines; their absence gives the fore 
wings a resemblance to those of C. ramosula. The reniform spot is shaped 
as in (. evicta, but very distinct, owing to its being distinctly black margined. 
The whitish sub-costal fleck of C. evicta is here more diffuse and extended and 
touches the shoulder of the thorax. A heavy diffuse brown black shade 
extends over all the inferior portion of the wing, outwardly running obliquely 
upwardly to apex and covering terminal space. White linear shadings along 
veins 3 and 4 on terminal space, and thus a tendency to have these pale 
shadings accompany all the nervules is exposed, but in both the new species 
these shadings run parallel with the veins. Collar pale without median line 
but with an upper marginal line against the blackish tegulae. On the front, 
before the antennal insertion, I notice a gathering of the scales into two 
slight lateral black tufts, not apparent in C. evicta. Beneath much as in 0. 
evicta ; the palpi outwardly are blackish.
