mentioned. Submarginal line white, excurved in the middle. Hindwing pale yellowish, browner at the margin. 
$ 30 mm. Queensland. 
C. abeboea Trnr. (38 c). Forewing pale ochreous, almost white, with a faint marking. Interior line black, abeboea. 
notched, outward as far as the submedian fold, extra-angular also at vein 1. A few black scales in the middle 
of the cell, a blackish luna at the cross-vein, black scales in the middle. The rather indistinct median line is 
extra-angular at the reniform macula, connected with the exterior line bjr streaks at veins 3 and 2. Exterior 
line extra-angular at vein 4, bent inward above it and below it. Submarginal line indicated by black dots on 
the inside. Hindwing as in octogesima. $ 34 mm. Queensland. 
C. subflavida Hmps. (38 c). Forewing more reddish yellow. Interior line indistinct, blackish, similar subflavida. 
to that of abeboea. Light brown scales in the centre of the cell and at the cross-vein. Exterior line notched, ex- 
curved behind the cell, obliquely inward from vein 4. Submarginal line and hindwing as in abeboea. $ 30 mm. 
Queensland. 
C. stenophylla Trnr. (38 c). Conspicuous by the striped marking. Forewing greyish brown. Interior line stenophylla. 
black, double, undulate, vertical, brown before it and a black double line near the base. An extinct dark median 
band, slightly extra-angular below the costal margin, otherwise vertical. Ring-macula and reniform macula 
indicated by few black scales. Exterior line black, distinct, extra-angular behind the cell, somewhat outward 
from vein 3, straight. Costal margin browner towards the apex. Submarginal line blackish, irregular, inwardly 
edged dark. Hindwing brownish yellow, darker at the margin. <$ 22 mm. Queensland. 
C. basicunea Wkr. (= tenera 1(7 ,t., acronyctoides Wkr.) is one of the larger species. Forewing [tale basicuneci. 
brownish grey. Interior line black, edged with white inside, oblique as far as the lower edge of the cell, then 
steeper, an olive brown shadow behind it. Ring-macula and reniform macula light, edged with dark scales. A 
median shadow extends in front of the reniform macula, then somewhat inward. Exterior line double, extra- 
angular behind the cell-angles, then inward, vertical from vein 2. Submarginal line white, finely notched, edged 
with dark on both sides. Hindwing whitish ochreous, broadly smoke-brown at the margin. 34 mm. Queensland 
and N. S. Wales. 
C. dispila Trnr. (38 c) is somewhat like abeboea. Forewing greyish brown. Interior line fine black, dispila. 
obliquely outward, straight, before it a line extending inward. Both edged with olive brown inside. Ring-macula 
and reniform macula finely edged with black, laterally compressed . A fine dentate line extends from the reni¬ 
form macula vertically to the inner margin. The notched exterior line slightly excurved at veins 6 and 4, then 
inward. Submarginal line also notched, parallel to it. Hindwing brownish white. <$ 26 mm. Queensland. 
C. cyrtosticha Trnr. Forewing pale grey, the median band darker. Inside it is bordered by a dark brown cyrtosticha. 
line, excurved in the middle, from 14 costal margin to % inner margin, outside by a line from *4 costal margin 
to y 2 inner margin, very strongly excurved. In this band the ring-macula and reniform macula, edged with 
white, dark brown hereafter. Submarginal line whitish, finely dentate, edged with dark outside. Hindwing 
grey, paler at the base. $ 28 mm. Queensland. 
C. mesospila Trnr. (38 c). Forewing pale olive green or olive brown. Interior line and the line before mesospila. 
it as in dispila. Ring-macula and reniform macula round, edged with black scales. Traces of a dark median 
line. Exterior lines slightly angular behind the cell-angles, then somewhat incurved, not notched as in dispila. 
Submarginal line white, edged with dark on both sides, slightly notched, somewhat outward in the middle, more 
inward in the submedian fold. Hindwing whitish, brownish at the margin. 24—26 mm. Queensland and 
N. S. Wales. 
C. metableta Trnr. (38 c). Forewing reddish brown. Interior line indistinct, dark, obliquely outward, metableta. 
Ring-macula and reniform macula small, round, similar to mesospila, a bent dark median shadow between 
them. Exterior line also shaped like that of mesospila , edged light outside. Traces of a light submarginal line. 
Hindwing brownish, darker at the margin. <$ 30 mm. Queensland. 
C. erenina Trnr. (38 d). As small as stenophylla (38 c) and also similarly striped in the basal half. Fore- eremna. 
wing greyish brown. Interior line black, excurved in the cell, inward in the submedian fold, a brown shadowy 
band before it and one behind it. Ring-macula and reniform macula edged with black, round. Close behind 
the reniform macula the vertical exterior line, excurved around the macula. Submarginal line strongly inward 
behind the cell and in the submedian fold, connected with the exterior line at vein 2 by black scales. Hindwing 
brownish, broadly dark at the margin. 22 mm. Queensland. 
C. taphreuta Meyr. (= delosticha Trnr.) (31 e) is very differently marked. Forewing grey, the veins iaphreula. 
black. Interior line indicated by a short black oblique streak at the costal margin. Exterior line double, of black 
scales, slightly inward in the cell and submedian fold, filled with reddish yellow; a fine black line behind it. 
Hindwing brown, dark at the margin. <$ 24 mm. Queensland.
