the bands, which are of a peculiar smoky color, not reddish, and 

 appearing as if translucent. Eubbed specimens show the bands very 

 distinctly.

This is a little smaller species than the preceding, but with a 

 similar arrangement of the bands. It is a little lighter gray, with a 

 very faint yellowish tinge in rubbed specimens. The fore wings are 

 crossed by six bands ; the basal is directed obliquely outwards from 

 the costa, and irregularly edged on each side with reddish scales, and 

 is waved and angulated in the median space. This is succeeded by a 

 broad smoky band, widest in the middle, just beyond which is a 

 curved black band widening towards the costa, and wavy towards the 

 inner edge of the wing, and bordered on both sides with reddish 

 scales. Parallel and just beyond is a similar line, but a little narrower 

 and less distinct, and bordered on each side with reddish scales which 

 do not reach the costa. Just beyond this is a broad, sinuate, smoky 

 band, irregular on the edges; the outer edge of the wing is also 

 smoky, forming a broad marginal smoky band, not present in the two 

 preceding species. A blackish oblique apical streak. The hind 

 wings are of the usual pale ash color, but are crossed beyond the 

 middle by two dusky curved bands. 



Beneath, the bands are very faintly reproduced on both wings, but 

 their terminations on the costa of the fore wings form five large square 

 dusky spots. 



Length of body, .42 ; fore wing, .62 inch. Edwards and Behrens. 



This species may at once be known by the outer edge of the fore 

 wings being smoky, and the black band edged with reddish, except 

 on the costa. It is a smaller species than the two others.

This is closely allied to C. ferrugata, but is larger. The markings 

 are arranged on the same plan. The ferruginous base of the fore 

 wings is traversed by a pale line ; the outer edge of this reddish area 

 is straight, instead of being curved as in C. ferrugata, slightly 

 wrinkled, with an acute angle on the subcostal vein. This is sue-
