and may be obliterated. Beneath the forewdng is narro\^"l3' j'ellowish at the costal margin and apex, below 

 the apex at the distal margin tinted somewhat lilac, hindwing in the proximal half brownish-yellow, at the 

 distal margin narrowly strewn with lilac, with an indistinct, lighter, straight band from the apex to the middle 

 of the proximal margin, and 2 light spots in the costal haK. Mexico to Argentina. 

 foriis. C. fortis Schs. Dark brown, ends of fringes whitish; forewing at the proximal margin haired greenish, 



spots j^ellowish-white hyaline, one in the cell, strangulated in the middle, 2 postdiscal ones, the lower of which 

 is the largest, and 3 small subapical ones. Hindwing m and below the cell haired greenish, with 2 small trans- 

 parent spots above the median veins. Beneath brown, costal margm and apex of forewing, and hindwings 

 strewn with greenish -yellow, base of forewing darker ; spots as above, above the submedian another large whitish 

 spot. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Castro (Parana). 



psyllus. C. psyllus is doubtfully placed here. Above black with large, white spots, a large one in the middle 



of the cell and two between the median veins, the upper one of which is small ; base light grey. Hindwing without 

 spots, in the disc dirty yellow, fringes dark grey, speckled with black. Forewing beneath at the apex, distal 

 and proximal margins pearl-coloured grey, hindwing dark grey with a semicncular row of 5 or 6 whitish spots. 

 Bolivia. 



devisor. C. derisor Mob. Deep brown. Forewing with light yellow spots: 2 subapical ones, the lower of which 



is larger, 2 strigiform, parallel ones in the cell, and 3 behind them in an oblique row, the lowest of which is 

 the smallest and of a deeper yellow. Hindwing Mith 2 dots showing through from beneath behind the upper 

 cell-end. Forewing beneath with a darker base, at the costal margin and apex reddish. Hindwing red-brown 

 with a round cell-dot and the two spots mentioned above behind the upper cell-angle. Thoracal hairing of a 

 green reflection. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Venezuela. 



C. hypoxanthos Mob. Black, towards the base yellowish. Forewing with a quadrangular cell-dot, 



2 spots obliquely behind it, the lower one being the largest, quadrangular; 3 subapical white hyaline dots. 

 Base of hindwing and disc broMTi, with fuscous hair and a black cell-spot and a curved row of black dots before 

 the distal margin. Beneath lighter, basal part yellowish. Hindwing orange, at the distal margm blackish-brown 

 with a curved row of minute black dots, behind them 3 more, at the base one. Abdomen orange with a white 

 median band. Palpi white. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Cayenne. 



poecila. C. poecila sp. nov. (186 d). Above blackish-brown, with a ferruginous yellow cell-dot, 2 postdiscal 



spots and a submedian diffuse patch below them, and 2 subapical dots. Beneath very variegated, costal margin 

 broad chestnut like the apex, the postdiscal ferruginous oblique band very much widened. Hindwing chestnut 

 mixed with blackish, with reddish-yellow spots at the cell-end, behind it, below it near the proximal margin 

 and at the blackish anal angle. 1 (J from Muzo (Colombia) taken by Fassl. 

 rastam. C. rastaca Schs. is above similar, somewhat lighter brown, the spots smaller, particularly the cell-spot 



very small. Beneath still lighter brown; beside the spots of above a postdiscal row of 5 small, black spots, the 

 middle one of which is pupilled whitish. Hindwing with a black crescentiform cell-end-streak, behind it 4 black 

 spots, the two lower ones intensely pupilled white, the 3rd indistinctly so, the uppermost quite black. Expanse 

 of wings: 38 mm. Petropolis. 



C. arita Schs. The dark brown forewing is without the cell-spot, with only one subapical dot. Beneath 

 somewhat lighter, the costal margin of the forewing dusted with reddish, near the anal angle another light 

 spot. Hindwing dusted with violet, with a small yellowish cell-dot and 5 small similar spots behind it in a 

 bent row. Abdomen beneath whitish. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Trinidad. 



C. stigmula Mob. scarcely belongs hereto. Blackish-bro-mi, costal margin of forewing reddish-yellow; 



3 postdiscal hj^aline spots; the lowest very small. Forewing beneath blackish, the costal and distal margins 

 reddish; between the apex and lower median vem with a light violet band. Hindwing from the costal margin 

 to the middle radial vein brown, from there whitish lilac, strewn with brown; through the middle extends a 

 row of 6 browTi double dots distally spotted white; towards the apex they are smaller and more remote; in 

 the cell a round white spot. Expanse of wings: 21 mm. Patria unknown. 



cin-eriia. C. cinerita Plotz (186 d) is just as doubtful. Above blackish-brown with somewhat lighter fringes 



tinted ochreous, and on the forewing with 3 small postdiscal dots and 1 subapical dot. Beneath the hindwing 

 is entirelj^ unmarked light ashy grey; costal margin of forewing and apex somewhat lighter broMTi than the 

 black disc, the submedian spot larger and ashy-grey. Brazil.

 No stigma. 

 pelora. C. pelora Plotz (= autumna Plotz, edda Mah.) (186 d) entirely resembles the preceding above, the 



spots are small, especially the cell-dot and 3 subapical ones. Fringes of hindwings tinted ochreous. Beneath 

 the same, forewing with a large, light anal angular spot ; the hindwing is somewhat tinted olive and shows 4 post- 

 discal whitish punctiform spots. Mexico to Guiana.
