Cinereous speckled with black. Abdomen lutescent. Fore wings 
cinereous, clouded with fuscous and black; the two median transverse 
lines well defined black ; the elbowed commences above the reniform 
spot, then proceeding outward, forms two nearly equal prominent 
teeth, between the first superior and the second inferior nervules; it 
next retreats a little, forming three short rounded teeth, after which it 
recedes just above the sub-median nervure, nearly as far as the inner 
line, returning again parallel to it : the subterminal line whitish, irregu- 
larly flexuous, with a narrow brownish space between it and the elbowed 
line ; submarginal iunules black, edged exteriorly with white; reni- 
form spot brownish, edged with white; subreniform white with a few 
dark scales, and a black margin: there is also a rather vague oblique 
black stripe proceeding from the upper tooth of the elbowed line to 
the exterior margin and forming a lighter gray apical pateh. Hind 
wings of a rich ochre-yellow color, dull towards the base and inner 
margin; the black median band very much contracted on the dise, 
and afterwards twisted almost like an S, and very narrow, near the 
sub-median nervure, and towards the inner margin, which it does not 
reach, the black border is very broad on the costa, narrowed poster- 
iorly, with a sharp sinus between the fourth inferior and the sub-me- 
dian nervures ; cilize and apical spot luteous. Under side of the fore 
wings like that of C. cerogama, but rather more yellow, with the 
median band narrow, very much twisted, almost interrupted on the 
independent nervure, and abbreviated at some distance from the inner 
margin ; the black border rather narrow, flexuous on its inner edge, 
abbreviated, with dirty-yellow space, sprinkled with black, between it 
and the exterior margin. Length of body, 12 lines; alar expansion, 
35 lines.
