the apex. Forewings dark brown with darker nebulous dots and larger spots in and behind the cell-end;

C. rubrosignata Weym. (56 b). As large as panlina, head, thorax and wings black with a bluish reflec¬ 
tion, the forewing with a red costal stripe at the base, and again beyond the middle as far as the apex dark 
red. Dorsum of abdomen purple-red, at the base covered with black hair. Venezuela. 
C. palmeri Drc. (56 b). Slender, with broad wings, very long antennae, almost like an Opharus. Head

C. momis Dyar (56 d). Head and thorax whitish, marked dark with a dot on the vertex and tegulae. 
Forewing light brown with 3 dark dots in the cell-end. Hindwing in the proximal part diaphanous whitish, 
apical half brown. Abdomen ochreous-yellow with dark dorsal dots. Orizaba (Mexico). 
C. quadripunctata Schs. (56 d). Quite similar to momis, but the dorsal dots of the abdomen more

C. obscurator Drc. (= obscurata Hmps.) (56 d). Middle and posterior legs very long, also the wings 
very much extended, forewings yellowish-brown, but densely watered with brown atoms and minute dark
