ory cell ends a little beyond cross-vein, fully twice as 
long as broad, six cnbitals beyond; in fore wing eight 
outer and five inner gradates, in hind wing seven outer 
and four inner, in both wings the inner row is much 
nearer to the outer than to the radial sector, at junctions 
the sectorals are slightly disjointed; costal area plainly 
not as broad as radial area ; cubital area as broad as mar- 
ginal area except toward base of wing. 
Fore wing length 13-15 mm., width 3. 8-4.2 mm. 
Type, from Pungarabato, Guerrero, Mexico (Jose 
Paner), 22 August. 
Type: M.C.Z. no. 27997. 
This species in many ways agrees with the descrip- 
tion of C. varicosa Navas, but Navas says the inner 
gradates are arcuate, and the Smith Notes, 4 Mowed up”. 
Here the inner gradates parallel to the outer. Two speci- 
mens from El Mante, Tamaulipas have the venation al- 
most the same, but the cubital area is not so broad in pro- 
portion to the marginal area; the wings more slender, 
fore-wing 14 mm. long, width 4.6 mm. ; the two lunules 
under antennas of the typical form here form a band, 
barely broken in middle ; I presume they are a form of 
the same species.

Pale greenish; face with a rather broad maroon band 
below bases of antennae, a zigzag black stripe under each 
eye, between are two pairs of rounded dark areas ; a nar- 
row dark stripe between bases of antennae which forks 
on the vertex, but the forks soon become parallel; on 
each side of the pronotum is a red stripe, well separated 
from the margin, this stripe extends back on the lateral 
lobes of meso- and metanotum. Wings with green vena- 
tion, the bases of the first and second anal veins are 
black; the costals are black, twenty before the stigma, 
the cells higher than broad, the third or fourth costal is 
more or less sinuous ; bases of radial sector and of dis- 
coidal cell black, most of the radial cross-veins black,
