Underside : both wings are pale yellowish white, the primaries narrowly 

 clouded on the outer margin with roseaceous. Expanse 24 mm. 



2. C. branneola sp. ncv. (^. — Body brownish above, pinkish white 

 below. 



Upperside : primaries pale rosy-brown, marked with a number of ob- 

 scure darker striae, ornamented with a regularly curved basal transverse 

 line convex outwardly, and a curved line running. from the apex to the 

 middle of the inner margin, convex inwardly and double at the apex. 

 From the end of the cell a dark shade extends parallel to the costa as far 

 as the outer curved line. There is a very narrow zig-zag submarginal 

 line. The secondaries are yellowish white on the costa and rosy-brown 

 on the remainder of the wing. The rosy-brown area is marked with 

 striae as the primaries, and the outer transverse line of the primaries is 

 produced upon the secondaries as a transverse median line widening and 

 becoming darker toward the inner margin, near which it fuses with a dark 

 brown spot margined externally with whitish. The submarginal line of 

 the primaries is extended upon the secondaries. The fringes of both 

 wings are dark brown. 



Underside : yellowish, laved on the costa of the primaries and the 

 outer margin of the secondaries with bright pink. Expanse 20 mm.

3. P. fasciata sp. nov. (^\ — Antennae and front pale fawn ; upperside of 

 thorax lighter ; abdomen fawn. 



Upperside : primaries greenish gray, clouded on the outer margin with

 greenish gray line. The middle of the wing is crossed by a dark brown 

 band, irregularly produced at the end of the cell, and interrupted by a 

 pale spot; in the upper margin of which is an olivaceous dot. The sec- 

 ondaries are dark brown at the base like the thorax, pale olivaceous about 

 the middle of the wing, clouded with olivaceous on the outer margin, and 

 crossed near the middle of the wing by a twice-curved narrow median 

 line, wljich is widest and most distinct near the inner margin. 



Underside : primaries sooty ; the costa bright reddish brown ; the mid-

 transverse median line of greenish purple, between which, at the end of 

 the cell, there is a subpyriform spot of greenish purple, pupiled with

 two broad greenish purple rays, the upper cne of which sweeps outwardly 

 to the apex, which is accentuated by a triangular spot of the same color ;
