C. mjoebergi Auriv. (88 g). Forewing yellowish-white, scales more roughened than in collaris, hut with 
a more intense gloss, a slightly darker yellow, somewhat curved oblique line from the centre of the inner margin 
to the costal margin before the apex. Hindwing paler. Body pale ochreous, tegulae somewhat whitish. Expanse 
of wings: 30—40 mm. Australia. (Vein 10 of the $ type is separated from the stalk of 7—9!) 
3. Forewing differently coloured. 
C. humeralis Wkr. (= albibasis Wkr., albiplaga v. Eecke) (88 f). Body brown, legs partly blackish. 
Forewing from ash-grey to brown, with a milky white costal-marginal streak at the base. Hindwing and under 
surface paler brownish. The white, extremely scanty dusting of the fore wing is sometimes condensed at the 
margin and forms white dots, and the costal-marginal stripe at the base may be reduced to a dot. Expanse 
of wings: 40—52 mm. Australia. 
C. uniformis Swh. Body and forewing chestnut-brown, hindwing paler. Expanse of wings: 25 mm 
North Australia. 
C. brunneipemiis sp. n. (88 g). Thorax and forewing unicoloured brown: abdomen, hindwing and under 
surface unicoloured light ochre. Antenna pectinated almost to the apex, gradually decreasing, posterior angle 
of cell on forewing projects very much Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Oinainisa. $ type in the Tring Museum. 
C. inexpectata sp. n. (88 g). Forewing chiefly pinkish-brown on the ochreous ground, sometimes with 
a dark oblique line from the centre of the inner margin to the costal margin before the apex (rf) or with pale 
yellowish marginal spots ($). Hindwing ochreous, red-brown in the $. Under surface and body brownish, 
lighter in the <$. Expanse of wings: 34—36 mm. North Australia, in January. <$, $ types from Groote Eylandt 
in the British Museum. 
C. liosarca Low. Body brownish ochre. Forewing narrow, half-oval, costal margin almost straight, 
10 is separated here from 7—9. Ground-colour brownish ochre or orange-brown, generally with some blackish 
scales indicating a curved line below and beyond the disc and sometimes forming a subdorsal and subapical 
dot. Hindwing paler. Expanse of wings: 26—30 mm. Australia. It. may belong to Gomanula. 
C. monomorpha Trnr. Body pale ochreous. Forewing pale ochreous, with a slightly darker central 
spot. Hindwing brownish, pale ochreous towards the costal margin. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. — Larva oval, 
yellow, with 4 rows of tufts of bristles. North Australia. 
C. ififrequeras Scott (88 g). forewing lustrous brown, with a black cross-vein dot from which a narrow 
white dentate transverse stripe extends obliquely to the inner margin, the costal-marginal half from there to the 
base white; the dark part of the wing is undulately crossed by darker transverse lines. Hindwing greyish-brown. 
$ greyish-brown, with a more whitish straight oblique stripe from the inner margin near the base to the costal 
margin beyond the middle, marginal area and base dusted somewhat whitish. Expanse of wings: 30—40 mm. 
Larva green, with 3 darker longitudinal lines and very tiny bristles, on Podocarpus, Elaeodendron, and 
Scolopia. Australia. It is questionable whether it belongs to this genus. 
C. fasciata Wkr. ( = semicana Wkr., xylomeli Scott) (88 h). Thorax and forewing brown, mixed with 
whitish, forewing chiefly whitish in the marginal quarter and often at the inner margin, bordered inside by a 
blackish dentate transverse line, another similar line extends through the whitish marginal area. Hindwing 
brown, whitish at the margin, abdomen blackish, white at the end. Under surface black, margins whitish. 
Expanse of wings: 32—38 mm. — Larva green, with a blue dorsal line parted by yellow, and green appendages; 
on Xylomelum and Banksia. Australia. 
C. euryparoa Trnr. Reddish-brown, anterior tibia with a white terminal spot, antenna with a white 
basal tuft. Forewing with 2 pale whitish-brown lines, the interior one straight from % of the inner margin 
almost to the centre of the costal margin, the distal one from 4 / 5 of the costal margin to the distal margin above 
the tornus, slightly excurved. Some light dusting distally to the interior line. Hindwing pale brown. Expanse 
of wings: 36 mm. North Australia, in November. (It may be a species of Hydroclada.) 
71. Genus: Contlieylst Wkr. 
Antenna of $ pectinated to the apex, palpi moderately long, somewhat appressed. Posterior tibia with 
2 pair of spurs. Forewing: 7—9 stalked. Hindwing: 6 + 7 on a very long stalk, 8 connected near the base with 
the anterior edge of the cell. — Several of the species described here, which I could not examine, may belong 
to other genera. 
C. vestita Wkr. (88 h). Head and thorax blackish-brown. Forewing smoky blackish, a pale costal- 
marginal spot at the cell-end. Apical area light grey, with a narrowing continuation to the tornus, a large grey 
inner-marginal spot before the tornus. Hindwing and abdomen ochre, dusted with greyish. £ paler. Expanse 
of wings: 34 mm. North India. 
C. tenuis sp. n. (88 h). Greyish-brown, forewing coarsely dusted, with a scarcely darker postmedian 
line which is distally narrowly bordered with pale and very much excurved from % of the costal margin to vein 5,
