 either.

Four specimens received from Mr. Manley of Yokohama. 

 Near to C. Jiortuellas, but separated at once from that sj^ecies by 

 the more decided character of marking.

 defined brown line crosses the middle of the wing from costa to inner

 black spot on the disk has its outer extremity directed towards apex. Fringes 

 ochreous, ornamented with silvery scales, preceded by a dark brown marginal
