Australia; another example in the British Museum from Cassini Id.; in Tring Museum a series from Eureka, 
North Territory of S. Australia, Somewhat smaller than cladotus. 
C. sumbensis spec. nov. (27m) Like neurias, but the veins blacker and thicker; the whole forewing suf- sumbensis. 
fused with pale brown, except the central streak through cell to termen, which remains white, and is of more 
even width throughout, vein 6 rising from the top, and not below the top, of discocellular; the dark terminal 
band of hindwing more definitely limited. 1 $ from Sumba Island (W. Doherty). 
C. discolor spec. nov. (27m). Smaller than sumbensis and neurias. Forewing washed with pinky discolor. 
ochreous, except the white streak through cell; the veins brown; hindwing with terminal half ochreous and 
the veins dark. 1 <$ from Roebourne, W. Australia. 
C. cramboides Guen. (27 m). Fore wing uniform flesh-coloured grey orpale ochraceous; a shining white streak cramboides. 
from base through cell to termen; the inner margin narrowly white; the hindwing grey with paler base and white 
fringe. Guenee, at the end of his description, from which the above is condensed, goes on to compare the 
insect with Crambus latistrius Stph .; and this comparison probably misled Dr. Butler into a wrong identifi¬ 
cation of the species in the British Museum Collection, accepted, however, by Hampson, who had not seen 
the type. In the Tring Museum there is a long series of both sexes; the $$, as a rule, are more highly 
coloured than the <$$, one $ in particular being deep flesh colour, and. others pinkish or pale brown; in faded 
specimens, and especially in the <$$, the colour is nearly obsolete. The majority of these insects come from 
Eureka, in the north Territory of S. Australia; two are from N. Queensland; and the remaining few from 
Roebourne and Derby district, W. Australia. In the ab. intensa ab. nov. (27 m) the forewing is deep brickred intensa. 
and the hindwing fuscous; in ab. semiochrea ab. nov. (27n) the space below cell alone is pinkish ochreous, the semiochrea. 
costal streak and terminal area being more faint; in semigrisea ab. nov. (27n) the space below median is grey semigrisea. 
and the veins dark; in the two last the hindwing is Avhite with the termen faintly coloured. 
C. osmidus Swinh. (27 n). Forewing pinkish grey, the pink tinge stronger in the $; a broad white osmidus. 
stripe through the cell to termen; the veins marked with dark grey, especially vein 1 and the median vein; 
fringe grey with tips white; hindwing whitish, the outer margin broadly suffused with grey; the fringe pure 
white; underside white; forewing suffused with dark grey, the margins and stripe through cell remaining 
white; head and thorax grey; abdomen paler, especially at base. W. Australia. 
C. venata spec. nov. (27n). The same size as osynidus, but whitish with the veins dark brown, as in neu- venata. 
rias Meyr., of which it is a small copy; the white stripe through cell prominent, the rest of wing being washed 
with pale brown; the hindwing pure white. W. Australia. 
C. ionola Swinh. (27 n). Fore wing pale ochreous suffused with dull purplish rose; a stripe of ground ionola. 
colour from before middle of cell to termen, and some ochreous along inner margin; black points along termen; 
fringe ochreous; hindwing pale ochreous suffused with fuscous, sometimes only on terminal area. Sherlock 
River, W. Australia. 
C. albida spec. nov. (27 m). Forewing and hindwing white; the latter with a dark apical flush: underside of alb i da. 
forewing flushed with pinkish grey; face grey; thorax and abdomen white. 2 from Geraldton, Queensland. 
C. rosea spec. yiov. (27 m). Fore wing whitish tinged with pink, except the pale middle stripe; rosea. 
hindwing pinkish along termen. W. Australia. 
C. sulphurea spec. nov. (28 a). Like the last two species, but the fore wing faintly tinged with pale sulphur sulphured. 
colour, stronger in $ than <$, with a white stripe through cell to termen; hindwing whitish, slightly discoloured 
towards apex. 3 $$, 2 from Roebourne, W. Australia. The underside of forewing is yellowish. 
C. canusina Swinh. (28 a). Fore wing silky whitish ochreous, with dark suffusion on the inner marginal canusina. 
area below cell and before termen, indicating there a subterminal band, varying in intensity and extent; hind¬ 
wing whitish slightly tinged with ochreous, the veins and a subterminal band darker; — ab. intacta ab. intacia 
nov. (28 a) has the fore wing uniform ochreous and the hindwing uniform white, with the underside hardly
