distinct, outwardly ol)li(|iie (thouf>h sowemhat waved) from 

 near base of costa to fold, where it is sharply angled, 

 inwardly oblicjue to near base of hind margin, where it is 

 partly concealed by a thick tuft of scales. Hind icing 

 somewhat as in robvsta, but slightly more irrorated with 

 fuscous, scarcely darkened at termen ; medial line absent; 

 a slight discal lunule and curved postmedial line, the latter 

 placed i-ather near the disc. Underside somewhat as in 

 robiista ; a little paler ; hind wing without medial line or 

 dark terminal shade, the postmedial less distinctly waved than 

 in rohustn, diffused and somewhat variable.

9 23 mm. 



Palpus with segment 3 extremely long (nearly 1\ length 

 of segment 2). stout but without long hair; white irrorated 

 with fuscous. Head and thorax pure white. Fore wing white 

 irrorated with green, largely suffused with citrine (on posterioi' 

 fourth of median area) and olive, leaving only the anterior 

 half of proximal fourtb and a broad anterior patch from 

 postmedial line to apex whitish ; the hnes pm'e white, the 

 antemedial oblique from near base of costa to fold, where it 

 is broadly rounded, bent inward to hind margin; postmedial 

 (apparently) from little lieyond J costa, horizontal in anterior 

 part of cell to beyond the small dark discal spot (which it 

 almost touches in passing), oblique to behind M^ bent 

 inward and waved to l^ehind end of cell, bent outward to 

 hind margin ; four large white spots on costa beyond 

 postmedial line, the last indicating the origin of subterminal 

 line which is bent outward to SC^, very fine and nearly 

 straight to fold, where it forms a broad white lunule, as 

 in C. chlorana, (Sarrothripa chlorana Hmpsn.. Moths Ind.. 

 iv, p. 528, 1896, Sikkim). Hind wing above and both wings 

 beneath as in chlorana.
