Size and aspect of C. strangulata, for a dark variety of wliicli, at first sight, it 
miglit be mistaken. Superior wings marked in a precisely similar manner, but 
with the ground colour pale lilac-brown, which, from the median line to the base, 
becomes wood-brown. Inferior wings much paler, without lines ; but beneath they 
are ochreous-yellow, strongly sprinkled with ferruginous atoms, which, accumulating 
between the cellule and the margin, form two short parallel lines. Antennae and 
palpi as in C. strangulata, of which it is perhaps strictly only a modification.

Media. Alee omnes integrce, lutece : anticce lineis duabus albis nigro-

Antennoe pectinata. 
Size and habit of C. insulata. Superior wings ochreous-yellow, suffused with 
blackish ; the only markings are two distant lines, the first forming a single angle 
in the cellule, the second simply wavy, these lines are slender, white, narrowly 
bordered with black on the costa, where they approach nearer one to the other, and 
followed by a brownish tinge ; extremity of the fringes finely marked with white ; 
inferior wings ochreous-yellow, without markings above, but beneath they are pow- 
dered vrith red, and traversed by six parallel lines, of which the four first are placed 
close together and discoidal, the two others isolated and toothed. Body concolo- 
roua, without markings. Antennas of the male furnished with long pubescent and 
spatulated pectinations. 
Geuus Dastueis, Guenee, nov. gen, 
Antennse of the ^ simple, granulated, scarcely pubescent. Palpi 
moderately long, connivent in form of a beak, hairy, the joints distinct. 
Haustelluni robust. Body thick, velvety. Thorax robust, broad, hairy ; 
abdomen scaly, banded, laterally velvety, truncated at the apex. Legs 
long, scaly, spurs robust ; tarsi spiny. Wings stout, entire, with long 
fringes, the markings similar on both pairs, colours bright, even on the 
under-side.
