 not dark, the marginal forks partly dark, and the marginal vein 

 black on outer portion; stigma in hind wings distinct, hardly so in' 

 the fore wings; both wings broad; seven or eight gradates in each 

 series in each wing, the series nearly parallel, and the inner series 

 rather nearer the radial sector than to the outer series; third cubital

 those near middle of hind border are margined with pale yellowish 

 brown; and in several cells so margined behind the stigma the central 

 area is silvery white; the thorax has a broad black band across be- 

 tween the bases of both pairs of wings. Venation as in C. conradtina. 

 The abdomen has the last two dorsal segments black, and a median 

 black stripe on dorsum to middle of length.
