 the apex at the distal margin tuited somewhat lilac, hindwing in the proximal half brownish-yellow, at the 

 distal margin narrowly strewn with lUac, with an indistinct, lighter, straight band from the apex to the middle 

 of the proximal margin, and 2 light spots in the costal liaK. Mexico to Argentina. 

 iortu. C. fortis Sells. Dark brown, ends of fringes whitish; forewing at the proximal margin haired greenish, 



spots yellowish-white hyaline, one in the cell, strangulated in the middle, 2 postdiscal ones, the lower of which 

 is the largest, and 3 small subapical ones. Hindwing m and below the cell haired greenish, with 2 small trans- 

 parent spots above the median veins. Beneath brown, costal margin and apex of forewing, and hindwings 

 strewn with greenish-yellow, base of forewing darker; spots as above, above the subniedian another large whitish 

 spot. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Castro (Parana). 



payllus. C. psyllus is doubtfully placed here. Above black with large, white spots, a large one in the middle 



of the cell and two between the median veins, the upper one of which is small ; base light grey. Hindwing without

devisor. C. derisof Mab. Deep brown. Forewing with light j'ellow spots: 2 subapical ones, the lower of which 



is larger, 2 strigiform, parallel ones in the cell, and 3 behind them in an oblique row, the lowest of which is 

 the smallest and of a deeper yellow. Hindwing with 2 dots showing through from beneath behind the upper 

 cell-end. Forewing beneath with a darker base, at the costal margin and apex reddish. Hindwing red-brown

C. hypoxanthos Mab. Black, towards the base yellowish. Forewing \\\i\\ a C[uadrangu]ar cell-dot, 



2 spots obliquely behind it, the lower one being the largest, quadrangular; 3 subapical white hyaline dots. 

 Base of hindwing and disc brown, with fuscous hair and a black cell-spot and a curved low of black dots before

poecila. C. poecila sp. nov. (186 d). Above blackish-brown, with a ferruginous yellow cell-dot, 2 postdiscal 



spots and a submedian diffuse patch below them, and 2 subapical dots. Beneath very variegated, costal margin 

 broad chestnut like the apex, the postdiscal ferruginous oblique band very much widened. Hindwing chestnut 

 mixed with blackish, with reddish-yellow spots at the cell-end, behind it, below it near the proximal margin 

 and at the blackish anal angle. 1 ^ from Muzo (Colombia) taken by Fassl. 



rastaca. C. rastaca Schs. is above similar, somewhat lighter brown, the spots smaller, particularly the cell-spot 



very small. Beneath still lighter brown; beside the spots of above a postdiscal row of 5 small, black spots, the 

 middle one of which is pupilled whitish. Hindwing with a black crescentiform cell-end-streak, behind it 4 black 

 spots, the two lower ones intensely pupilled white, the 3rd indistinctly so, the uppermost quite black. Expanse 

 of wings: 38 mm. Petropolis. 



C. arita Schs. The dark brown forewing is without the cell-spot, with only one subapical dot. Beneath 

 somewhat lighter, the costal margin of the forewing dusted with reddish, near the anal angle another light 

 spot. Hindwing dusted with violet, with a small yellowish cell-dot and 5 small similar spots behind it in a 

 bent row. Abdomen beneath whitish. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Trinidad. 



C. stigmula 3Iab. scarcely belongs hereto. Blackish-brown, costal margin of forewing reddish-yellow; 



3 postdiscal hyaline spots; the lowest very small. Forewing beneath blackish, the costal and distal margins 

 reddish; between the apex and lower median vein with a light violet band. Hindwing from the costal margin 

 to the middle radial vein brown, from there whitish lilac, strewn with brown; through the middle extends a 

 row of 6 brown double dots distally spotted white; towaids the apex they are smaller and more remote; in 

 the cell a round white spot. Expanse of wings: 21 mm. Patria unknown. 



cineritii. C. cinerita Pldtz (186 d) is ju.st as doubtful. Above blackish-brown with somewhat lighter fringes 



tinted ochreous, and on the forewing with 3 small postdiscal dots and t subapical dot. Beneath the hindwing 

 is entirely unmarked light ashy grey; costal margm of forewing and apex somewhat lighter brown than the

Scarcely separable from the jireceding, only different by the strong and projecting valves of the q. 

 No stigma. 

 pelora. C. pelora Plolz (= autumna Plolz, edda 3Iab.) (186 d) entirely resembles the preceding above, the 



spots are small, especially the cell-dot and 3 subapical ones. Fringes of hindwings tinted ochreous. Beneath 

 the same, forewing with a large, light anal angiilar spot ; the hindwing is somewhat tinted olive and shows 4 post-
