bright rosy salmon-red, with the black band narrower than in C. zalmunna, but similarly 

 formed ; the black external border a little narrower, interrupted between the submedian vein 

 and first median branch, and interrupted on the margin, by pink-tinted ochreous spots.

Allied to S. dubitaria, but as large as S. catocaloides. Primaries above dark brown, witli 

 very faint lilacine tinge, traversed by numerous pale sinuated lines, the basal half crossed by 

 two, irregular, black-bordered dark-brown bands ; a third abbreviated black band, traversed 

 by two irregular pale lines from the costa to the first median branch ; a fourth slightly zigzag 

 and undulated black band, traversed by an irregularly undulated pale line, across the disk ; 

 a submarginal series of white- pupilled black spots, followed by an undulated black marginal 

 line; fringe dark brown, traversed by a basal, a central, and a marginal pale line : secondaries 

 sericeous fuliginous brown; the disk crossed by four or five macular parallel discal stripes, 

 which are obsolete towards the costa, but gradually increase in intensity towards the 

 abdominal border, becoming quite black below the second median vein, where they are also 

 rendered more prominent by a background of lilacine scales ■ a submarginal undulated black 

 line, interrupted below the radial vein by a series of five white dots ; the marginal black line 

 and fringe as in the primaries : thorax above black-brown, irrorated aud transversely striped 

 with whitish; abdomen dark fuliginous brown. Under surface of primaries pale fuliginous 

 brown, slightly yellowish ; a subangulated blackish band immediately beyond the cell, 

 followed by a sordid white band, which is again followed by a broad, curved, tapering, dusky 

 belt ; a sordid whitish spot just within the end of the cell ; a submarginal scries of black 

 spots, pupilled externally with cream-colour; fringe traversed by an indistinct, slender, duskj 

 line, and tipped with blackish: secondaries greyish brown, with faint pinky reflections; a 

 large, dusky-bordered, whitish discocellular spot, followed by an arched indistinct greyish 

 stripe, followed again by two arched undulated dusky discal stripes; external border broadly 

 greyish; submarginal spots and fringe as in primaries. Expanse of wings 8-1 millim.
