strigulatecl with blackish ; basal patch represented by a slender 

 sinuate, not angulated, transverse blackish line at one-fifth ; a 

 sharply-defined oblique rather narrow blackish streak from costa 

 before middle, reaching half across wing, sinuate and attenuated 

 at extremity ; a small triangular blackish-fuscous spot on costa 

 at two-thirds ; cilia dark grey mixed with ochreous, with a 

 blackish line. Hindwings dark fuscous-grey, indistinctly spotted ; 

 cilia dark grey, more whitish towards anal angle, with a darker 

 line near base. 



Closely allied to C. polygraphana, but much darker in ground- 

 colour and markings, without ocellated spots, and the edge of 

 basal patch is not angulated.
