LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 2£ 



Female. Whitish fawn-colour, almost whitish beneath. Head 

 and palpi brownish. Wings with very minute black speckles, which 

 are hardly apparent above, but more numerous on the under side ; 

 line white, nearly straight, bordered with fawn-colour on the inner 

 side ; discal point black, very distinct ; an almost obsolete fawn- 

 coloured zigzag exterior line. Fore wings falcate ; exterior border 

 very straight ; line ceasing near the costa. Hind wings subcaudate ; 

 the angle with black speckles ; the exterior border on each side of 

 it very straight Length of the body 7 — 8 lines ; of the wings 22 — 

 24 lines. 



It is closely allied to C. transvertens, and may be the female of 

 that species. It differs from the male of C. transvertens by its more 

 falcate fore wings, by the very straight exterior border, by the more 

 caudate hind wings, and by the black speckles on the angle.
