Differs from Jiypospilata in the ground-colour being grey-brown ; 

 the waved lines more prominent ; a postmedial series of pale specks 

 more or less developed, and the submarginal series obsolescent. 

 Underside whitish ; the discocellular spots larger ; the postmedial 

 band replaced by a series of streaks, which at middle almost join 

 the submarginal spots, which form an almost complete band except 

 between veins 3 and 4. 



Larva dark olive-green ; pupa reddish, with greenish head and 

 wing-cases.

Type, C. riguata, Hubn., from Europe. 



Range. Europe; N .W. Himalayas ; Khasis. 

 ^ Palpi roughly scaled and reaching beyond the slight frontal tuft ; 

 hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. Fore wing with vein 3 from 

 close to angle of cell ; 5 from above middle of discocellulars ; 6, 7 

 stalked; 11 anastomosing with 8, 9, 10 to form a small areole. 

 Hind wing with vein 3 from close to angle of cell; 5 from above 

 middle of discocellulars; 6, 7 stalked; 8 anastomosing with 7 to 

 beyond middle of cell. 



in the typical section the antennae of male are slightly thickened 

 and ciliated.
