rugose-striate longitudinally, with distinct lateral carina. 



Median segment short, rugulose, with a small basal area 



which is narrowed towards the apex ; the apical carina forms 



part of an arched carina which is continued in the lateral 



carinas of the posterior slope ; spiracles small and rounded. 



First tergite a little longer than its apical breadth, subsessile, 



longitudinally striated, with a curved groove joining the two 



spiracles, which are as far from the apex of the segment as 



from each other. Second tergite nearly twice as broad at the 



apex as long, granulate, with a coarsely longitudinally striated 



groove before the apex ; third tergite coarsely granulate at 



the base, with a broad curved groove beyond the middle, the 



segment beyond the groove closely longitudinally striated ; 



fourth tergite delicately longitudinally striated ; fifth and 



sixth tergites shining, finely punctured ; apical segment 



whitish and smooth. Valvulas projecting about 1 mm. beyond 



the apex of the abdomen. Transverse cubital nervure very 



short ; nervulus slightly pre-furcal. The fuscous band of the 



fore wing is much narrower than in C. froggatti, and readies 



from the middle of the stigma to the middle of radial cell, 



and thence crosses the wing, not quite reaching the lower 



margin.
