4. Chcerodes transvertens. 
Mas. Pallidissime ochracea ; caput fuscescens , supra albidum ; 
palpi apice nigricantes ; pedes nigro conspersi ; alee nigro 
sabulosce , strigulis panels indistinctis ochraceis , linea recta 
albida intus ochraceo mar gin at a, linea exteriore nigricante 
diffusa angulosa , puncto discali nigro ; anticee subfaleatee , 
linea costam versus e punctis elongatis albis , margine exteriore 
vix angulato ; posticce angulo bene determinato non caudato . 
Male. Very pale ochraceous, mostly whitish beneath. Head 
brownish, whitish above. Palpi with blackish tips. Legs minutely 
black-speckled ; anterior knees black ; hind tibiae much thickened. 
Wings with a few indistinct little transverse ochraceous streaks, and 
with a few minute black speckles ; the latter more prevalent on the 
under side ; the line straight, oblique, whitish, bordered with ochra- 
ceous on its inner side ; discal interior black point distinct ; a blackish 
exterior diffuse zigzag line, which is almost obsolete on the fore 
wings. Fore wings subfalcate ; the line towards the costa indicated 
only by elongated white points on the veins ; exterior border very 
slightly bent, hardly angular. Hind wings with a very distinct 
angle, but not caudate. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 
19 lines. 
This species, like C. incurvata , may be distinguished from the 
other three preceding species by the exterior border of the fore 
wings ; it also agrees with C. incurvata in having no traces of the 
inner line, which is very distinct in C. transposita , slight in C. 
transversata , and almost or quite obsolete in C. transmutans. The 
more prominent angle of the hind wings and the colour of the line 
sufficiently separate it from C. incurvata .
