C. mastoides Hmps. (— grandimacula Drc. part.) (43 g) resembles oliveata, but the maculae are almost 
entirely absent, instead of them there are 2 black dots above each other in the cell-end; behind the postmedian 
line there is a violettish grey band, before the undulate line the small dark spots are absent . Hindwing lustrous 
brown. A common species occurring from Mexico to Peru. — ab. saturatior Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) has much 
darker chocolate-coloured forewings. 
C. pygmaea Hmps. (43 g). The yellowish forewing is irrorated with fiery red and strewn with black, 
the postmedian area brownish-white turning darker brown towards the white undulate line; the brown transverse 
lines are on the averted sides bordered with white and flow together close above the hind-margin; no maculae. 
Hindwing greyish-brown. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. From French Guiana. 
C. bilineata Mssn. (43 g) is very similar, red-brown, in the postmedian area violettish grey with white 
transverse lines which are not united at the hind-margin; the maculae are small fiery red spots; a white oblique 
costal-marginal streak passes over into the grey undulate line before which the veins are striped white. Hindwing 
coppery brown. Ecuador, Peru. 
C. rufula Dgn. (43 h) is a large very dark red-brown species without a lighter postmedian area, with 
yellowish-grey transverse lines and orange maculae, and an 8-shaped reniform macula; the undulate line is also 
ochreous grey. Hindwing reddish greyish-brown. Colombia, Peru. 
C. xanthia Jones (43 h) is very similar to ruf ula , but smaller, with narrower wings, the ground-colour 
being reddish-yellow, the transverse lines brown, in the marginal area brown irroration; maculae absent except 
the ring-macula which is surrounded with a slightly darker colour; the undulate line is whitish, proximally 
shaded with brown. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin and veins brownish. Brazil. 
C. infirma Schs. (43 h) is still more monotonously coloured and marked than the preceding ones, light 
ochreous-brown, mixed with grey, with quite indistinct darker transverse lines, the anterior line partly double, 
the very small maculae feebly surrounded with brown; the undulate line is little lighter, proximally shaded 
with brown. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Colombia, Brazil. 
C. conchylis Gn. (43 h) is the chief representative of a small group with silvery white maculae with 
lustrous red-brown forewings, in the postmedian area with a slight grey tint, with black transverse lines, the 
posterior line more distinct and dentate; the ring-macula is cordiform, the reniform macula tricuspid with 
a red centre; the undulate line is composed of indistinct red lunulae. Hindwing whitish, at the margin reddish- 
brown. Mexico to Brazil. 
C. acamas H.-Schaff. (43 h) is very similar to conchylis, in the costal-marginal area irrorated with 
red and yellow, with a distinct white dot in the base of the cell; the anterior transverse line is proximally bordered 
with yellow, the posterior line is extended into vein-dots, the proximally brown-shaded undulate line is yellowish. 
Hindwing coppery red-brown. Venezuela, Peru. 
C. pyrostrota Dgn. (43 h) differs from the preceding ones in the Y-shaped ring-macula, more fiery red 
forewings, the reniform macula being more fiery red-and yellow, only distally and proximally with one fine 
silvery white streak each; the posterior transverse line is double, filled up with grey. Hindwing greyish-brown, 
at the margin darker. Peru. 
C. turcica Drc. (43 h). Forewing silky lustrous grey, irrorated with red-brown, with double transverse 
lines filled up with grey; the ring-macula is a white arcuate streak with a dot above it, the reniform macula 
a yellow streak, surrounded by silvery white streaks and dots, all of them being encircled with black, the cell 
between them irrorated with black, the very indistinct grey undulate line exhibits a black spot at the anal angle. 
Hindwing red-brown with a black median spot. South-Eastern Peru. 
C. orbica Hmps. (= latifascia Drc.) (43 i). This species initiates a group of mostly smaller, slender 
insects without the intense hairing of the G abdomen. Forewing in the basal area red-brown, in the median 
area ochreous-reddish, behind it brownishgrey; transverse lines double filled up with ochreous-yellowish, the 
anterior line forming a bow directed towards the base; maculae white, surrounded and centred with red-brown. 
Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Mexico to Venezuela. 
C. latifascia Wkr. (= oryx Fldr. nec Drc.) (43 i) is very similar, on an average larger, the anterior trans¬ 
verse line straight, the median area broader, the reniform macula narrow and oblique. Hindwing reddish-brown. 
Mexico to Venezuela. 
C. mesochroa Hmps. (= latifascia Drc. part.) (43 i) is somewhat similar to latifascia, but very much 
smaller, the anterior transverse line not double, the reniform macula less oblique, before it a blackish-brown 
median line. Hindwing red-brown. Panama. 
C. albiorbis Drc. (43 i) is likewise a very small species, on the forewing dark red-brown, in the median 
area whitish-yellow, only feebly irrorated with red-brown, with single, finely dentate transverse lines which 
are bordered with white on the averted sides; ring-macula purely white, reniform macula in the centre yellowish,
