C. idrica Drc. is a somewhat larger species, reddish-brown with a large conical blackish-brown spot idrica. 
bordered by white from the centre of the inner margin to the cell, a double anterior brown transverse line filled 
with white, and a black discal dot; the upper subterminal half is red-brown, outside bordered by the grey 
undulate line. Hindwing copper-brown. Mexico to Guatemala. 
C. hirasa Drc. is very similar to idrica, the dark inner-marginal spot narrower and club-shaped by an hiram. 
indentation on the outside near the inner margin, inside and outside it is connected with the costal margin by 
black streaks. Hindwing reddish greyish-brown. Mexico, Yucatan. 
C. metaspilaris Wkr. (= signiferana Wkr.) (50 i) is easily recognizable by the inner-marginal spot being metaspilaris. 
triangular and ending pointed in the cell; the black anterior transverse line is on one side bordered with white, the 
white edged reniform macula is 8 shaped; the posterior double transverse line is rather indistinct, the white 
undulate line inside bordered with black. Hindwing copper-brown. Haiti. 
C. numa Drc. Forewing light red-brown with a silvery gloss; the blackish-brown inner-marginal spot numa. 
is of a conical shape, extending into the cell and bordered by black, white-edged lines, inside connected with the 
costal margin by the black antemedian line; behind the cell a silvery costal-marginal spot with a small dark 
spot in front of it; behind the very indistinct double undulate line the marginal area is yellowish-white with a 
black triangular spot on the discal fold. Hindwing dark brown. Mexico to Colombia. 
C. pinax Dyar (50 i). Forewing greyish-brown, without the yellowish tint of numa, otherwise very pinax. 
similar, the inner-marginal spot conically truncated with a small wedge-shaped spot above it at the costal 
margin, all the markings edged with dull silvery, the large reniform macula light silvery grey; the fine dark 
postmedian line is strongly incurved at the reniform macula and once more below it; subterminal line silvery 
grey, the margin behind it narrow black, behind the cell pointedly triangularly projecting inwards, somewhat 
less submedianly. Hindwing blackish brown with whitish fringe. Ecuador. 
C. scobina sp. n. (50 i) is allied to the two preceding species; the ground-colour is a silvery pink, with scobina. 
brownish transverse striae; behind a purple basal inner-marginal spot there is a red-brown transverse band; 
the blackish-brown inner-marginal spot is truncately triangular, irregular, bordered by black lines extending 
to the costal margin, pointedly projecting outward on the submedian fold; the reniform macula is centred with 
red-brown and is situate in an oblicpie red-brown costal-marginal band which is united with the broad red- 
brown subterminal area behind the lower cell-end; undulate line silvery, discally and submedianly inwards 
acute-angular, distal margin narrow blackish-brown, twice triangularly projecting inwards. Hindwing blackish- 
brown with lighter fringes being white at the ends. Peru (Cuzco); type in the Coll. Draudt. 
C. punctifirsis Harps. (50 i). Here the whole interior half of the median area as far as the costal margin punctifinis. 
is blackish-brown, the insect thereby recalls hippotes, white transverse lines border on it; the posterior trans¬ 
verse line is only in the lower half more distinct; the dark undulate line begins with a larger spot at the costal 
margin, behind it there is a marginal row of black dots. Hindwing brown. Bahama Is. 
C. ochrocraspis Hmps. (= numa Drc. part,) (50 i). The red-brown forewing is lighter in the median uchrocm- 
area with a silvery lustre and with a truncate conical red-brown inner-marginal spot bordered with black; spis. 
the transverse lines are indistinctly double, in the cell-end a dark spot; the black undulate line is inwards 
shaded with deep red-brown; at the distal margin there is only a fine black line inside bordered with yellowish, 
by which it is at once discernible from the somewhat similar scobina. Hindwing dark copper-brown. Mexico 
(Jalapa). 
C. quadrifera Zell. ( — catiena Drc.) (50 i) is a smaller insect than preceding ones, of a more purple grey quadrifera. 
ground-colour, otherwise very similar in the marking, the inner-marginal spot obliquely quadrangular, above 
it in the upper cell-end a black Y-shaped mark, the indistinct undulate line almost straight. Hindwing reddish- 
brown. Widely distributed from Missouri and Texas to Colombia and Guiana, also in Jamaica and Grenada. 
C. limbata H.-Edw. (50 i). Forewing light yellowish-red, in the distal half of the median area with a linibata. 
blackish transverse band, behind it dusted with greyish-brown, with indistinct double transverse lines and a 
black median line; at the cell-end a light streak inside bordered with black, with a black dot behind it. Easily 
recognizable by the orange hindwing with a very narrow dark margin. Texas, Mexico, and Guatemala. — ab. 
anaea Drc. shows the marginal half of the forewing more darkened. anaea. 
C. rilla Dyar (50 i) is very much smaller than limbata, dark grey strewn with metallic purple scales rilla. 
and with a straight dark brown median band which is narrowed in the costal half; the distinct dark undulate 
line is introangular subcostally and in the lower distal-marginal third. Hindwing orange with black fringe. 
Peru (Cotahuasi). 
C. orcidia Drc. (50 i) is only as large as rilla, on the forewing more copper-reddish with a blackish- orcidia. 
brown basal area and a somewhat darker biown marginal area; transverse lines black, only the posterior line 
double, bordered resp. filled with silvery grey; the reniform macula is a small round spot surrounded by grey;
