 slightly concave beyond the middle, rounded towards the tip and abruptly 

 so at the base. Hind margin much more oblique than in any of the other

 salustius or C. maid ; dusky at the base ; the discoidal dots, quadrate patch, 

 and bands black ; bands narrow and maculae small, but not so much so as 

 in C. maid; the sub-marginal band very broad towards the costa, and, 

 conjoined with the border of the hind margin forms a broad dark tip ; 

 nervures black, and more narrow than in the other forms ; cilia dark 

 fulvous.

 a fuscous border on the hind margin ; very broad at the apex, and narrow 

 towards the anal angle ; the discoidal dots, quadrate patch, and sub-
