the marginal area the veins are striped whitish, the most distinctly the lower radial branch, and with 
black internerval streaks; a postmedian row of black dots on the veins. Hindwing diaphanous white, at the 
margin brownish. From Arizona and Mexico. 
C. insueta Gn. (= adonea Grt., mimica Streck.) (24 c) somewhat resembles roseola (24 b), but it is insueta. 
not dusted in a pink, but more brownish-red, with a black basal ray, and the hindwing is more yellowish-white, 
the veins and margin dusted greyish-brown. Canada to Colorado. — The larva likewise resembles that of 
roseola, but the markings are fainter and faded, not distinctly defined, the colour more brownish, less yellowish- 
white, the subdorsal lines and lateral bands greyish-brown, not much darker than the ground. On grasses. 
— heterodoxa Sm. is a paler form with less distinct markings, whereas in dia Grt. (24 c) the brownish-red tints heterodoxa. 
are absent altogether, and the hindwings are darker. The latter form occurs from Canada to Arizona. 
C. tnegadia Sm. (24 d) is a distinct species, ochreous-brown with distinctly whitish, dark-edged megadia. 
veins, an almost coherent post-median row of dots on the veins, a long, deep black basal ray and a black 
ray in and behind the cell-end, interrupted by the thick white transverse vein; the marginal area is darkened 
by long, blackish wedges. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin somewhat smoky. Canada (Alberta). 
C. secta H.-Schdff. (24 b) is a very characteristic, small, greenish-yellow species scantily strewn with sect a. 
black, with a red-brow T n stripe below the cell and a fine proximal-marginal streak near the base; behind the 
cell the veins are on both sides striped red-browm, the thickest stripe being above the lower radial branch; 
in the lower cell-end there is a black dot, behind it a bent postmedian row. Hindwing greenish-yellow, at the 
margin reddish-brown, in the $ lighter. From Cuba. 
C. albifasciata Hmps. (24 d) has ochreous-yellow forewings dusted with a brownish red and strewn alb i fas data. 
with black, with a faded brown subcostal stripe, a white-striped median with a brown stripe below' it, and a 
broad faded, whitish submedian stripe; in the centre and at the end of the cell some accumulated black scales, 
and instead of the coniform macula a V-shaped mark; the veins behind the cell are striped whitish and on both 
sides edged with brown, the most distinctly the upper median branch and the lower radial branch, between 
them brown streaks; besides the usual postmedian row of black dots on the veins, as well as a dark oblique 
shade from the apex and below it a marginal triangle; hindwing diaphanous wdiite with single black marginal 
dots. Colombia, Brazil Paraguay. 
C. anteroclara Sm. (24 d) is very similar to insueta (24 c), but it has no brownish-red, but a more anteroclara. 
olive-greenish tint, the markings being otherwise the same. Hindwing yellowdsh white, margin and veins tinted 
brown. The species is larger on an average and without the black basal ray. Only from Canada (Alberta). 
C. pendens S?n. is a dark species of a reddish-yellow ground-colour with smoke-grey shades and 'pendens. 
strewing, and a very characteristic smoke-grey nebulous stripe along the median without any interruption 
to the margin where it extends as far as the apical shade, and therein is the small white spot at the cell-end; 
the other markings do not differ from the other species. Hindwing smoke-grey with darker veins and a 
brighter part towards the base. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Florida, taken in May. 
C. oregona Sm. differs from the allied though much larger anteroclara- (24 d) by entirely white orcgona. 
hindwings without a brown margin and with a more brownish or reddish-brown ground-colour; the postmedian 
row of dots on the veins is somewhat connected, forming a regular dentate posterior transverse line. Expanse 
of wings: 30 mm. Oregon. 
C. rivorum Gn. (= pampa Schs.) (24 d) initiates the species without a dark nebulous stripe below rivorum. 
the median. Forewing yellowish-white, at the costal and proximal margins scantily strewn with black, the 
white veins are on both sides edged with a purple brown, between them similar internerval streaks; in the 
lower cell-end there is a black dot; a postmedian row of dots on the veins. Hinclwing white, in the $ smoky 
in the apical half. Brazil to Paraguay, and in Cuba. 
C. camea sp. nov. (24 d) is very much like rivorum, but with much less prominent markings; forewing camea. 
pinkish brownish, submedianly and in an oblique apical patch ochreous-yellowish, the broad costal-marginal 
area and the veins violettish-white, the veins very finely edged with a hardly darker colour, in the marginal 
area with faint internerval stripes; the median is towards its end somewhat broader and of a purer white, above 
it a minute black spot, a similar one below the rise of the lower median branch; the postmedian row of dots 
as well as the marginal dots are very feebly marked. Hindwing transparent whitish, veins and margin 
smoky. 1 $ from Medina (East Colombia). 
C. sarcistis Hmps. (= ext-incta Drc.) (24 d) is of a more flesh-coloured reddish tint, the veins are sardstis. 
less distinctly white and much more feebly edged with dark than in camea , otherwise very similar. Hindwing 
diaphanous purely white. Costa Rica.
