Sericeous greyish brown ; the general aspect of C. squalida 

 of New Zealand, but the primaries more acuminate at apex, 

 the secondaries with irregularly dentated outer margin ; the 

 central belt of the primaries having more nearly the outline 

 of C. capitata of Europe, but black- edged, crossed by black 

 lines, and enclosing a black discocellular dot followed by a 

 whitish nebula ; beyond this belt one or two ill-defined 

 crinkled transverse lines, followed by a series of black or 

 blackish spots, bounded by submarginal white lunules; 

 nervures on external area pale sandy brownish, interrupting 

 an externally white-edged black undulated marginal line ; 

 fringe black-brown at base, white, tipped and spotted with 

 blackish brown, externally : secondaries paler than primaries 

 excepting towards outer margin ; the external area being 

 bounded internally by two or three scarcely discernible 

 parallel lines slightly darker than the ground-colour ; on the 

 abdominal margin these lines terminate as blackish lunules j 

 a short white dash at anal angle, being the last of a series of 

 badly defined submarginal spots ; marginal line and fringe 

 as in primaries. Wings below with black oblique disco- 

 cellular dashes or spots, one in each wing; an angulated 

 zigzag blackish discal line and a whitish badly defined zigzag 

 submarginal line ; marginal line and fringe almost as above ; 

 costal area of primaries and whole of secondaries irrorated 

 with whitish ; tibia3 and tarsi dark grey-brown, banded with 

 whitish. Expanse of wings 37 millim.

The female in the present series is paler than in Felder's 

 figure, the primaries being stramineous instead of deep 

 ochreous. The male has shining pale copper-brown primaries 

 varied with pale ochreous on basal area and just beyond the 

 cell; the upper portion of the central belt is also of this 

 colour ; the latter is represented by two slightly divergent 

 nearly straight grey stripes, the outer one of which is inter-
