Palpi rather slender, smooth, obliquely ascending; second joint 
long; terminal joint short, obtuse. Antennae simple. Thorax with rough 
anterior crest. Tibiae with spurs well developed. Forewings with areole 
short, narrow, not projecting, median cell short, upper primary branch 
dividing before discocellulars into first and second median, all veins 
separate, 11 from before areole. Hindwings with median cell short, all 
veins separate.

Head with tuft of scales on dorsum. Palpi long, obliquely ascending, 
smooth-scaled ; terminal joint short, obtuse. Antennae in male 
bipectinate to apex, in female shortly bipectinate or simple. Thorax 
without crest. Tibiae with well-developed spurs. Forewings with areole 
and median cell rather narrow, 8 and 9 stalked, 7 stalked, connate or 
separate, 11 from areole. Hindwings with median cell narrow, upper 
branch of median short, running into a sharp angle of the discocellulars, 
6 and 7 connate or stalked. Type C. australis. 
Three of the known species are very similar. C. crepera from 
Western Australia is known only from a single female example with 
unusually long antennal pectinations (4), very dark forewings with few 
strigulae, and partly whitish hindwings. In C. australis the antennae are 
bipectinate in both sexes, the males are smaller than the females, and 
the hindwings are uniformly fuscous. In C. mesogeia the males are 
larger than the females, the female antennae are simple, and the hind- 
wings are usually more or less whitish. C. caliginosa may be recognised 
by its brown head and patagia.
