between 7 and the inner margin a 3rd brownish line; margin between 6 and the apex shaded darker, at the 
apex a small white spot strewn with black. Hindwing in the basal half darker, behind the dentate dark post¬ 
median shadow a deeply dentate dark line with dark short vein-streaks, behind it brownish lunnlae. Expanse 
of wings: 115 mm. Guatemala. 
C. curvilinea Schs. may also be a form of the preceding species; monotonously dull brown, collar 
whitish, costal margin as far as beyond the centre yellowish-reddish grey; antemedian line feebly marked, the 
small hyaline spot as in decrescens finely surrounded with black and yellow; postmedian line outside between 
6 and the inner margin narrowly bordered with lilac-whitish, the same feeble dusting at the distal margin. 
Hindwing with a straight antemedian line, the hyaline spot with a broader ochreous ring, behind it a brown 
shadow, then lilac whitish streaks and black vein-dots which are connected by a feeble darker undulate line; 
subterminal whitish vein-dots. Expanse of wings: 102 mm. Costa Rica. 
C. denda Drc. (105 b). Yellow, collar and first third of costal margin light lilac grey; base of cell and 
the space before the distal oblique line more or less extensively dusted with rusty reddish; the reddish-brown 
antemedian line similar as in decrescens ; the oval hyaline spot finely bordered with black, then yellow and again 
black; before the blackish-grey oblique line an indistinct red-brown notched line, the marginal area also on 
the hindwing more or less hued with light lilac grey. The $ is more cinnamon reddish and more intensely 
marked. Mexico, Guatemala. 
C. syntheratoides Rothsch. (105 b) is similar to denda, but of a much purer yolk-colour and in the $ 
hardly marked at all, in the $ much more, similarly arranged as in denda, but the hyaline spots are much larger 
and quite round, parted by the cross-vein; behind the postmedian line in more distinctly marked specimens 
reddish-brown shading which exhibits two rounded projections between 2 and 4. Hindwing with small rusty 
brownish subterminal shadow-like spots. Legs rosy reddish. Panama. 
C. anestios Weym. This species having been described from 1 $ without the patria being stated must 
look very much like denda, but it has no sharply pointed, but an obtusely rounded apex of the forewing. Golden 
yellow with a straight red-brown oblique stripe as in denda ; the small oviform hyaline spot is bordered by a very 
fine brown ring, then a yellow one, and outside a red-brown one, proximad above it another punctiform hyaline 
spot; costal margin red-brown with white scales, from its base along the median vein, between 2 and 4 and 
through the distal half of the cell a distally widening red-brown longitudinal stripe as far as the postmedian 
line, another similar stripe from the centre of the costal margin across the veins 5 and 6; basad 2 notched red- 
brown transverse stripes; before the apex a small white costal-marginal triangle; marginal area as in synthera- 
toides-Q. Hindwing marked the same, before the margin with 2 red-brown notched lines, the exterior one broader 
and more indistinct. Expanse of wings: 115 mm. 
C. cinerea Rothsch. (122 a) is unicoloured ash-grey, without any transverse lines, only on the hindwing 
there are traces of an antemedian line; at the cell-ends of both wings small hyaline spots. Expanse of wings: 
127 mm. Described from 1 habitat unknown. 
C. expandens WJcr. (105 a). Wings broad, apex of forewing pointed; golden yellow, in the disc behind 
and above the cell dusted with blackish-brown, around the cell-end with 3, sometimes 4 small hyaline spots; 
antemedian line irregular, postmedian line fine, undulate-dentate, behind it a broad black straight nebulous 
stripe, distally between 2 and 4 projecting with 2 round convexities. Hindwing with a straight broad antemedian 
line, in the disc with 1 or 2 small hyaline spots; a rounded undulate-dentate postmedian line and a submarginal 
nebulous stripe which is more broken up in spots. Venezuela. 
C. arpi Gschwandner is very similar, larger, the apex of the fore wing obtusely rounded; ground-colour 
darker, ochreous, behind and especially above the cell dark brown irroration, enclosing 3 hyaline spots with 
black, yellow, and again black edges; the subterminal black nebulous stripe is distally concave, and widened 
between the veins 4 and 6, the notched line before it as in expandens; the subterminal darkening between 
2 and 4 is very feeble. Hindwing similar as in expandens, the hyaline spot at the cell-end small, oval, surrounded 
by black, yellow and again black. Expanse of wings: 113 mm. Southern Brazil, Sa. Catharina. 
C. trimacula Rothsch. is very similar to arpi, much larger and at once discernible by the absent notched 
stripe before the postmedian oblique stripe. Fore wing loamy brown, sometimes covered with light reddish, 
behind the cell with 3 round hyaline spots; y 3 from the base extends an indistinct zigzag line, from the apex 
to the centre of the inner margin a dark oblique line. Hindwing similar, but with only one hyaline spot, behind 
it there are a number of small round dark spots; an antemedian transverse line. Expanse of wings: 136 mm. 
Central America. 
C. multifenestrata H.-S. (130 a) is an extraordinarily variable species, in the typical form fawn-coloured 
greyish-brown, especially in the female sex, the two black transverse lines (the posterior one mostly only in its 
apical portion) notched, before the latter a second notched line of a more brownish colour; around the cell- 
apex 4 hyaline spots, the second from below being the largest and parted by the cross-vein; before and below 
the cell-end especially in the $ 2 small hyaline spots; posterior transverse line outside analwards wider darkened, 
between 2 and 4 with 2 more or less distinctly bicuspid projections. Hindwing the same with 3—6 hyaline 
spots in the disc. In the $ a principal subspecies with a beautiful yolk-coloured ground-colour occurs:
