Intermediate in character betM'cen C. interplagata and C. mactata. Primaries above 
black-brown ; basal fourth limited by a pale yellowish-white line, which emits a fork 
obliquely backwards towards the inner margin, and two nearly longitudinal streaks forwards 
to join a double stripe of the same colour^ which runs obliquely through the centre of the 
wing; the inner line of the central stripe curves forwards and upwards from the first median 
branch so as to enclose a large partly cleft patch of the ground-colour, which crosses the 
end of the cell from the costal margin ; the latter is also crossed by two indistinct whitish 
lines, and is partially enclosed by a pale brassy yellow line close to the whitish one, and 
running across the disk ; a slender dentate-sinuate whitish discal line, followed below the 
third median branch by a gravel-brown sti'ipe; a widely bisinuated submarginal whitish 
stripe ; a nearly marginal slender whitish line ; veins externally whitish or yellow ; a slender 
indistinct whitish annular line near the middle of the inner border ; fringe with a testaceous 
basal line : secondaries nearly as in the allied species : body whitish ; tegulse and sides of 
abdomen brown. Primaries below altogether greyer than above, brassy towards the apex, 
the markings less prominent : secondaries pale brassy yellow, minutely black-speckled ; 
discocellular spot black and prominent; two curved dusky lines and an indistinct discal 
streak dotted with brown : body below yellowish. Expanse of wings 38 millim.

Allied to C. silaceata, melancliolica, and subsiituta. Primaries dark brown, crossed by 
four pale stripes — the first three pinky whitish and enclosing brown lines, the first subbasal, 
arched, the second and third crossing one another so as to form a large -shaped figure, which 
covers more than a third of the wing, the fourth biangulated, white, submarginal; several 
pale annular markings in the centres of the patches enclosed by the pale stripes : secondaries 
sericeous greyish white ; anal half of abdominal border banded alternately with blackish and 
white; outer margin brownish: body pale bronzy brown, indistinctly banded with white.
