11 connected with subcostal by a bar, or anastomosing with 10 to form the areole, rarely free. Hindwing broad; 
inner margin longer than costal margin, the termen almost straight in <J, rounded in veins 3. 4, 5 equally 
apart; upper half of discocellular very faint, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Type: comes Geyer. 
C. regina Cr. (74 a). <$■ Antennae with shaft white, the branches light oc-hraceous buff; palpi benzo 
brown fringed with white hairs; fore tibiae streaked with black. Body white. Forewings silver white with 
duller silver markings; streaks in cell; antemedial line narrow from cell to inner margin; postmedial broad 
from costa near apex to middle of inner margin, followed by a fine line; a subterminal narrower line from termen 
below apex parallel with postmedial, incurved below vein 2; marginal irregular markings; costal edge sometimes 
fuscous. Hindwing silvery white. Expanse: 44 mm; $ 58 mm. The Guianas; Amazons; Central America. 
C. doda sp. 7iov. (74 a). Very similar to C. regina Cr., smaller, the lines more undulating, narrower. 
Forewing: the subterminal not incurved below vein 2; the costal edge finely brown. Expanse: $ 30 mm; $ 45 mm. 
The Guianas; Amazons; In this species vein 11 is free. 
C. sericea Fldr. (74 a). <§. Forewing: differs from the previous species by the more obliquely inbent 
lines which are still narrower; postmedial line from apex; the subterminal line fine and gently incurved. Hind¬

and fore femora fuscous black. Wings thinly scaled, silvery white, the duller markings forming double post- 
medial and subterminal lines. The only species with fuscous palpi. Expanse: 36 mm. Nova Friburgo, Brazil. 
C. liedda sp. nov. (74 b). $. Antennae as in C. andeola. Palpi, throat and fore femora white. Body 
white. Forewing silvery white, the duller silver lines very wavy; antemedial line deeply incurved; postmedial 
and subterminal lines narrow, double, and another line closer to margin. Hindwing creamy white, thinly scaled 
except on veins. Expanse: 45 mm. Bio de Janeiro. 
C. vinasia sp. nov. (74b). Branches of antennae drab; palpi, throat and body white. Forewing

Vihas, Costa Rica. 
C. vestalis Schs. (74 b). <J. Antennae with shaft white, the branches light buff; palpi white streaked

with brown. Body white. Forewings silvery white, the duller lines narrow, slightly wavy, double, appearing 
more numerous. Hindwings broad, considerably longer on inner margin than on costal, dull white, somewhat 
hyaline. Expanse: J 1 30 mm; $ 42 mm. Southern Brazil. 
C. odriana sp. nov. (74 c). Belongs to the group of G. co7ties Gey., the lines very numerous. Palpi 
white, faintly light buff above. Body white. Forewings silvery white, the lines slightly wavy, the duller silver

Hindwings semihyaline, didl white. Expanse: 38 mm. Sao Paulo de 01iven§a, Amazons. 
C. athana sp. nov. (74 c). <$. Antennae with the shaft white, the branches wood brown. Palpi and
