C. gallii Rottenbg. (Vol. II, p. 255, pi. 41 d) occurs in the form — intermedia Ky. (= epilobii Harr., 
chamaenerii Harr., galii Wkr., oxybaphi Clem., canadensis Guen.) in the nearctic region from Canada to Colorado 
and Georgia. It differs from the palaearctic gallii in the more extensive red colour of the hindwing; base and 
margins beneath darker brown; the light distal margin of the hindwing is generally somewhat narrower. 
C. euphorbiarum Guer. & Perch. (= celeno Bsd., spinifascia Btlr.) (98 F f). Abdomen with 4 blackish- 
white lateral spots, the two first of which are mostly jet-black, the next being generally somewhat duller black. 
Forewing with an olive brown costal-marginal band which looks dentate behind the cell between the veins 
4 and 6, owing to deeply entering light veins; no dark spot behind the cell-end; the olive brown subterminal 
band is widened so much at the inner margin that it is only about 1 cm distant from the base. Hindwing red, 
the base and a narrow premarginal band black, a quadrangular white spot in the black inner-marginal part. — 
Larva varying from greyish-green to black, with a light dorsal line and black round subdorsal spots in light 
yellow rings; on Mirabilis jalappa, "Oestrum, and other plants. From Rio de Janeiro, Argentina and Chile. 
C. annei Guer. (98 F g) is superficially similar to euphorbiarum, but it lacks the sharply defined olive 
brown costal-marginal stripe, the costal-marginal part is only dusted with a slightly darker olive colour and shows 
indistinct darkenings before and behind the cell-end; the subterminal band is much less widened at the inner 
margin. The black premarginal band of the hindwing is more irregularly defined inwards. Abdomen with 5 
black lateral spots. From Peru and Bolivia to Chile. 
C. lineata F. (— vitis Houttuyn, daucus Cr., linearis Luc.) (98 F g) is a well-known species of an immense 
range, occurring also in the Old world as livornica (Vol. II, p. 256, pi. 41 c). Easily discernible by the white- 
striped thorax and the white neuration of the forewing; separated from the palaearctic form by a white median 
stripe on the tegulae and a less white-dotted abdomen which therefore looks less speckled. From Canada to 
Argentina. — The larva is somewhat less variegated owing to its being less spotted yellow and black. 
C„ calverleyi Grt. is a very rare species from Cuba, very similar to gallii on the forewings, but with a 
white-striped thorax as in lineata ; separated besides from lineata by the light band of the fore wing not being 
sharply defined proximally, moreover the abdomen is not dotted white dorsally and without the double row 
of small black spots of the lineata- forms.
