Forewiiig brmulei' tliaii in ( '. (/eeolor, distal margin siunate between SC'' and R', 

 minutely toothed at R' and M', liinder angle less iirojecting than in C. decolor ; 

 fonr transverse lines above, darker tawny-brown, two antemediau, twodiscal, besides 

 a vestige of a subbasal line, the second line quite indistinct, fourth convex between 



W' au<l M-, ajiproaching the third at inner margin. Hindwing, above, dull 



ferruginous, dist.-il margin shaded with fawn-colour, abdominal margin clayish. 



Undrrxiilr, linth wings paler reddish than U]iperside of hindwing. Forewing : 



the reddish colour extending to near distal uiargin behind and to subcostal fork- 

 in front, the area dentate, distal marginal area dark fawn-colour, two faint discal 

 lines, corresjjonding to the discal lines of npjierside, both nearly straight. Hind- 

 wing with rather sharply marked discal lines, curving costad in front, the first 

 across tip of cell ; no stigma. 



Tenth torgite similar to that of C. decolor, more gradually narrowed ; sternite 

 with a sharply pointed narrow mesial process, tllasper narrowly sole-shaped, 

 inner surface not deeply concave, a setiferous fold beginning dorsally at base and 

 extending obliquely ventrad, followed by a subdorsal patch of wrinkles ; harpe 

 very strongly chitinised proximally, here dilated, a single distal process, which 

 ajipears simply pointed in a side-view, but is excavate above and obli([uely truncate 

 at end. Penis-slieatli curved, the opening jiartly covered by a kind of operculum.

? . All we know of this insect, besides the descriptious given by Moore and 

 Hampson, is a pencil sketch in Dr. Moore's possession. We give a figure taken 

 from this sketch in order to enable the reader to identify the species. As no 

 structural characters are given in the descriptions we do not know with certainty 

 where to put dccoraf.us. It looks somewhat like PItijllo.ijiliuKjia dissimilia, excepting 

 the hindwing, and reminds one also of Mima.f tiliac.
