 tinged with pule yellow; thorax entirely yellow.

 extends outwardly to above the middle ; beyond on internal margin a 

 triangular patch with minute marginal dark dots. An oblique fascia 

 from the middle of costa runs outwardly nearly across the wing beyond 

 the triangular dorsal patch enclosing a minute discal dark dot. A 

 small rounded patch near costa before the apex, and a subterminal 

 band. Fringes concolorous.

This is a brighter colored species than the preceeding, and agrees 

 better in the character of markings and coloration with the European 

 C. s?Hea</imrtH«mna except that the hind wings of the latter are always 

 dark fuscous.

Palpi, head and thorax pale yellow or whitish. Anterior wings yel- 

 lowish with dark brown markings. An angulated brown fascia crosses 

 the wing at basal third running obliquely outwardly nearly to the mid- 

 dle, thence inwardly to internal margin near the base. A broad abbre- 

 viated fascia runs from the middle of costa, gradually narrowing, to be- 

 fore internal angle; beneath it on internal margin a dark brown patch. 

 A sub-apical costal spot and terminal shade dark brown tinged with 

 olivaceous yellow. 



Posterior wings and fringes above and beneath fuscous. Under sur- 

 face of anterior pair fuscous, the markings of the upper surface reflected 

 by darker shades.
