brown line, at angle a black line extends to apex; a faint light cinnamon drab suffusion on terminal space from 
vein 3 to tornus; costal edge sayal brown. Hindwing: line medial, fuscous black followed by a russet shade 
except at costa. Wings below varying from light clrab to light buff more thickly irrorated with black scales 
and striae, the forewing with the line faint, hardly angled, followed by a russet shade to termen between 
veins 4 and 7, the hindwing with a faint sinuous postmedial line, and usually a small dark spot on dis- 
cocellular. Expanse: male, 34—46mm; female, 50mm. Argentina; Southern Brazil. The figure of curtisea 
Weyenb. in Tijdschrift is very poor. 
C. xingua Dogn. (87 e). Male : Body and wings vinaceous buff irrorated with black. Forewing: an 
antemedial, almost medial clay color shade from a dark point on costa; an oblique hyaline spot at disco- 
cellular finely edged with black; the outer line fine, hair brown, oblique from costa, angled below vein 7 
and inbent; followed by a sayal brown shade, oblique, from vein 5 to tornus. Hindwing: a small dark 
spot on discocellular; line fine, medial; termen largely suffused with sayal brown darkest subterminally. Fore¬ 
wing below suffused with ochraceous salmon becoming ochraceous orange at termen below apex to vein 4; 
the line broader towards costa, outcurved and sinuous. Hindwing below: a black line on discocellular, the 
postmedial line almost vertical to vein 4, then inbent to inner margin. Expanse: 32mm. Ponte Nova, Rio 
Xingu, Amazons; Callao, Peru; Argentina. A small species with apex of forewing less acute. 
C. pulverula Schs. Female : Body and wings pale ecru drab well irrorated with black scales, 
abdomen below with a black ventral line. Forewing faintly suffused with light cinnamon buff to postmedial 
line; lines sayal brown, the antemedial inbent on costa, then lunular, almost vertical, the postmedial out- 
curved beyond cell, crenulate. A B-shaped hyaline spot at discocellular edged with snuff brown. Hindwing: 
a subbasal curved line; outer line outcurved beyond cell, crenulate and dentate. Cilia of both wings pale 
sayal brown tipped with white. Wings below very similar to upper surface with only the outer line, which 
is vertical on costa of forewing to vein 8, then outcurved, and on hindwing is nearer termen. Expanse: 54 mm. 
Sao Paulo, Brazil. 
C. forbesi sp. nov. (87 e). Male : Body ochraceous buff, the abdomen with sayal brown segmental 
lines, the anal tufts chestnut brown. Wings ochraceous buff irrorated with apricot buff to outer line; the 
lines apricot buff, outwardly pinkish; termen narrowly apricot buff, the cilia tipped with pinkish buff. Fore¬ 
wing: a fine, sinuous, outbent, antemedial line; an oblique hyaline spot at discocellular, divided by vein 5, 
outwardly with some fuscous scaling; outer line outbent and angled close below vein 7, followed by black 
scaling continued from angle to apex, and with a branch line from vein 4 to tornus; an apricot buff line below 
median and vein 2 to termen; the veins beyond line apricot buff; smoky drab suffusions irrorated with 
brownish scales on interspaces beyond cell to line. Hindwing: the line from costa near apex to middle of 
inner margin; a fine line from vein 6 near postmedial to termen at vein 2. Wings beloAV warm buff with numerous 
fuscous scales. Forewing: no antemedial line; a black patch from outer line above vein 3 to tornus. Hind¬ 
wing: the line finer, slightly curved; a white and fuscous spot at discocellular. Expanse: male, 37 mm; female, 
50 mm. French Guiana. Type in Cornell University Collection. The apex of forewing somewhat falcate, the 
termen sinuous. Named in honor of Dr. W. T. M. Forbes. 
C. eugenia Schs. Male : Body and wings light greyish olive; cilia darker tipped with white; 
line clay colour outwardly edged with light ochraceous buff. Forewing: an oblique hyaline B-shaped spot, edged 
with clay colour, at discocellular; outer line light ochraceous buff on costa, almost imperceptible, outbent, an¬ 
gled at vein 7, inbent, straight followed by a darker greyish olive shade above inner margin to tornus. Hind¬ 
wing: the line medial, straight. Wings below darker, duller, the shade above inner margin at tornus of fore- 
wing benzo brown, the hindwing darker on terminal half and a dark point on discocellular. Expanse: 37 mm. 
French Guiana; Sao Paulo de Olivenca, Amazons. 
P. volucris Schs. (87 e). Male\ Forewing acute, falcate, termen oblique. Hindwing with anal angle 
produced to a point. Body and forewing cinnamon drab, the line verona brown. Forewing: a very oblique 
hyaline spot medially constricted; the line outangled at vein 7 followed below 7 by a finer fuscous parallel 
line, and a fine fuscous shade from vein 3 to tornus; from angle of line a verona brown line and shade to 
apex; terminal space light cinnamon drab irrorated with minute verona brown scales. Hindwing light cinnamon 
drab; line postmedial downbent close to inner margin, closely followed by a finer dark line; termen with fine 
irrorations as on forewing. Wings below similar, the hindwing with a fine denuded lunule and verona brown 
spot at discocellular. Expanse: 37mm. Sixola River, Costa Rica. 
C. gentilis Schs. (87 e). Male: Forewing: apex produced, outer margin sinuous. Body and wings light 
huffish drab irrorated with drab scales. Forewing: a fine antemedial line; an oblique hyaline spot at disco¬ 
cellular edged with fuscous, more broadly on outer edge; outer line narrow, cinnamon drab, oblique from costa, 
angled below vein 7 near termen and inbent to inner margin; a fine fuscous line from vein 4 to tornus; a
