 does not touch a broad dash along base of costa, it commences 

 in a black speck, and diffuses into a running band to meet the 

 second nearer to inner margin than to costa ; the second and 

 third span the wing as the letter X, the fourth is roughly 

 parallel with hind-margin, it is very wavy and freely denticulate, 

 and touches the third on inner margin at i ; the fifth is deeply 

 dentate and communicates with the fourth by dentations, less 

 freely in ^, and the costal and inner thirds are prolonged to 

 hindermargin. Cilia lemon, tinted with fuscous. Hindwings 

 pale ochreous grey. Cilia as forewings. A pair taken in the 

 Lucas-Rye Expedition, near Bellender Kerr. Allied to C. 

 mclitaula, Meyr, but a smaller insect and with the markings 

 differently distributed, and a lemon rather than a reddish colour.
