C. illustrata, sp. nov. 9. Palpi white below, wood-brown above. 
The thorax and abdomen are whitish, shaded with wood-brown on 
the collar and patagia. The primaries on the upper side are wood- 
brown with a pale irregular mark covering the cell and extending 
below it and beyond it, interrupted by adark spot at the end of 
the cell. An irregularly curved pale submarginal line extends 
from just before the apex to the inner margin. The fringes are 
concolorous, tipped with white at the apex. The secondaries are 
whitish, with the outer margin broadly shaded with black. The 
fringes are white, interrupted with black opposite the end of the 
cell. On the under side, the primaries and secondaries are white, 
with broad and dark blackish outer margins. The black spot at 
the end of the cell of the primaries reappears on the under side 
and is continued downward to the inner margin as a somewhat 
broad blackish band. Expanse 37 mm. 
The type, which is unique, is a slightly damaged specimen.
