119 
large blackish dots, posterior dot subapical; blackish speckling arranged 
as follows: a subcostal streak, a very coarse longitudinal patch on the 
anterior half of the cell, sparse speckling along the dorsum extending 
posteriorly to before the tornus, running thence to 3 / 4 of the costa, so as to 
form a broad irregular transverse band which is angulate posteriorly and 
almost interrupted at 1 / 3 ; a small blackish suffused dot below the costa 
beyond the base; an inwardly oblique transverse fulvous-brown mark 
on the end of the cell, continued along the lower edge of the cell to before 
the middle of the wing, dilated to a round spot on the upper, and the 
lower angles of the cell, the upper spot mixed with blackish; anterior 
part of the transverse mark connected with a suffused blackish spot in the 
fold beyond its middle; a terminal band of small ovate bright fulvous- 
brown rings on the terminations of the veins, from the apex to the tornus, 
broadly interconnected, on the upper half of the wing suffused anteriorly, 
on the lower half almost open; this band edged anteriorly by a blackish 
irroration which becomes broader above and forms a triangular spot at 
1 j i of the wing breadth, projecting anteriorly and connected with the 
preceding transverse band of black speckling. Cilia with the basal half pale 
greenish-white, with a series of short transverse black streaks, posterior 
half tawny, cilia in the tornus entirely whitish-green, with a black bar. 
Hind wing glossy light golden-fuscous, apex tawny-golden. Cilia pale 
fuscous, with a faint interrupted blackish median line, and a white base. 
Ovipositor elongate, robust. Seventh sternite hairy, with a deeply 
notched anterior edge. (Slide no. 895 D, holotype.)

November 14, 1938 (holotype). Two specimens. A distinct species, obviously 
intermediate between the group of C. nesograpta Meyrick, and that of 
C. aggesta Meyrick.
