  Male 
  dark 
  brown, 
  crossed 
  by 
  a 
  moderately 
  broad 
  common 
  

   white 
  band 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  costa 
  on 
  the 
  ante- 
  

   rior 
  wings, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  narrowest, 
  to 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings 
  ; 
  this 
  is 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  double 
  row 
  of 
  white 
  

   spots, 
  the 
  innermost 
  largest 
  and 
  sagittate 
  ; 
  the 
  outermost 
  row 
  

   commences 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  rather 
  above 
  the 
  middle, 
  

   but 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  larger 
  white 
  spot 
  above 
  it 
  nearer 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  

   out 
  of 
  the 
  series.

  and 
  grey,

   numerous 
  zigzag 
  and 
  annular 
  markings 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  and 
  

   with 
  an 
  oblique 
  common 
  brown 
  line, 
  ill-defined 
  towards 
  the 
  

   costa 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings. 
  The 
  outer 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  is 
  dusky, 
  with 
  two 
  ill-defined 
  rows

  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  C. 
  ciceronis, 
  Ward, 
  but 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  is 
  

   broader 
  and 
  the 
  submarginal 
  markings 
  are 
  less 
  sharply 
  

   defined.

  Female 
  brown, 
  with 
  black 
  zigzag 
  and 
  annular 
  markings 
  in 
  

   the 
  cells, 
  some 
  of 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  marked 
  with 
  

   tawny 
  ; 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  

   whitish, 
  with 
  a 
  double 
  row 
  of 
  connected 
  brown 
  and 
  blackish 
  

   sagittate 
  markings. 
  Underside 
  similar, 
  but 
  much 
  paler, 
  and 
  

   consequently 
  the 
  markings 
  towards 
  the 
  base 
  better 
  defined 
  ; 
  a 
  

   tawny 
  line, 
  straightest 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings, 
  crosses 
  the 
  

   wings 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  submarginal 
  sagittate 
  markings 
  

   are 
  more 
  slender 
  and 
  better 
  defined.
