Nearly allied to A. berherata of Europe, but of a more uniformly grey colour : primaries 

 witli the bands broader, the subbasal band more regular, the dark band just before the middle 

 of the wing distinctly angulated above the median vein ; the discal band less strongly dentated ; 

 outer border broadly dusky, completely obliterating the sinuated submarginal lines : secondaries 

 greyish brown, crossed beyond the middle by an angulated and sinuated dusky line. Wings 

 below similar in colouring to those of A. berherata, but with a strongly defined continuous 

 discal line. Expanse of wings 1 inch 2 lines.

Allied to C. ferrugata, but uniformly greyish brown ; the basal bands more decidedly 

 undulated, and only indicated in outline by dai-k lines ; the broad dark belt further from the 

 base, its margins more distinctly undulated, its inner margin also more irregular, its outer 

 margin less decidedly angulated ; outer border smoky grey, bounded by a continuous series 

 of white-edged dark lunules, those spots which are blackish in C. ferrugata being scarcely 

 deeper in tint than the others ; the zigzag discal line replaced by a sinuated line forming an 

 internal boundary to the submarginal lunules ; lines across the secondaries less strongly 

 defined : wings below more uniform in tint and sericeous grey, with the sinuated parallel 

 lines arched rather than angulated. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line.

White, the primaries spotted with black and smoky brown at the base ; two central 

 aagulated black lines, the outer one diifused internally above the middle ; a black spot at the 

 end of the cell ; outer border smoky brown, margined and traversed internally by two black 

 lines parallel to the outer of the two central lines ; veins upon the border black, each with a 

 central white dot, the whole together forming a submarginal series; fringe white- spotted : 

 secondaries silver-grey, with the external area regularly white ; a marginal series of dark grey 

 spots which lun through the fringe; a blackish discocellular spot: body whitish, greyish in
