Female. Deep ochraceous, paler beneath on the exterior part 
of the wings. Wings elongate, sprinkled with silvery white ; line 
blackish brown, bordered with silvery white, very straight and com- 
plete, extending quite to the tips of the fore wings ; a distinct exte- 
rior zigzag black line. Fore wings falcate, with a silvery discal spot, 
and with an interior undulating black and silvery line ; exterior 
border very straight. Hind wings with the exterior border quite 
straight, and having no indications of an angle. Length of the body

This species has a general resemblance to C. striata , but is quite 
different from it in the structure of the hind wings.

Female. Fawn-colour. Legs with brown bands and spots. 
Wings hardly purplish tinged, with very minute black speckles, which 
are most prevalent on the under side ; line testaceous, straight, dis- 
tinct, bordered on the inner side with fawn-colour of a deeper tinge 
than the ground hue of the wing. Fore wings falcate, with some 
slight transverse paler marks along the costa, which is convex ; ex- 
terior border slightly convex, not bent; line forming a slightly acute 
angle near the costa, on approaching which it is white and gradually 
dilated ; discal black point small. Exterior border of the hind wings 
convex, without any angle. Length of the body 8 ? lines ; of the 
wings 22 lines. 
This species has some resemblance in structure to C. incurvata , 
from which it is sufficiently distinguished by the shape of the hind 
wings.
