Apart from other characters this species may be recognized 
by the central fuscous spot to the wings, which, with the 
fasciated abdomen, allies it to C. trivittata, Walk., from 
which, however, it differs by its larger size, absence of dark 
spots to tegmina, the more produced and conical frontal portion 
of head, uniformly narrow central sulcation to face, &c.
