Intermediate in character between C. interplagala and C. mactata. Primaries above 

 black-brown; basal fourth limited hy a pale yellowish-white line, which emits a fork^ 

 obliquely backwards towards the inner margin, and two nearly longitudinal streaks forwards 

 to join a double stripe of the same colour, which runs obliquely through the centre of the 

 wing; the inner line of the central stripe curves forwards and upwards from the first median 

 branch so as to enclose a large partly cleft patch of the ground-colour, which crosses the 

 end of the cell from the costal margin ; the latter is also crossed by two indistinct whitish 

 lines, and is partially enclosed by a pale brassy yellow line close to the whitish one, and 

 running across the disk ; a slender dentate-sinuate whitish discal line, followed below the 

 third median branch by a gravel-brown stripe; a widely bisinuated submarginal whitish 

 stripe; a nearly marginal slender whitish line; veins externally whitish or yellow ; a slender 

 indistinct whitish annular line near the middle. of the inner border; fringe with a testaceous 

 basal line : secondaries nearly as in the allied species : body whitish ; teguke and sides of 

 abdomen brown. Primaries below altogether greyer than above, brassy towards the apex, 

 the markings less prominent: secondaries pale brassy yellow, minutely black-speckled; 

 discoccllular spot black and prominent; two curved dusky lines and an indistinct discal 

 streak dotted with brown : body below yellowish. Expanse of wings 38 millim.

Allied to C. silaceata, melancholica, and subslituta. Primaries dark brown, crossed by 

 four pale stripes — the first three pinky whitish and enclosing In-own lines, the first subbasal, 

 arched, the second and third crossing one another so as to form a large s -shaped figure, which 

 covers more than a third of the wing, the fourth biangulated, white, submarginal; several 

 pale annular markings in the centres of the patches enclosed by the pale stripes: secondaries 

 sericeous greyish white; anal half of abdominal border handed alternately with blackish and 

 white; outer margin brownish: body pale bronzy brown, indistinctly banded with white.
