Abdomen of without a lateral hair-tuft. 
C. circulus Saalm. (6 g). Body and forewing ochreous. A fine black dot with a white halo at the lower cirndiis. 
cell-angle, the median vein also somewhat white. Below the latter a dark radial hand extends to the distal 
margin. Hindwing greyish-brown, lighter at the base. 22—25 mm. Madagascar. 
C. homoeoptera Hmps. Thorax whitish pink, abdomen dark brown. Forewing whitish ochreous. The homoco- 
cell, the space close below it and behind it red-brown, some brownish ochreous colour only yet in the cell- 
end. Median vein white at the end, the marginal veins edged with dark. The exterior line is a row of black 
dots, inserted behind the cell. The whitish oblique band from the apex to vein 5 is edged by red-brown 
shadows on both sides. Hindwing greyish-brown, with a dark central lima. 35 mm. East Africa. 
C. atritoma Hmps. Thorax red-brown, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing red-brown. Black streaks uirltonu/. 
at the costal margin. A white dot at the base of the cell. Interior line composed of a few black dots. The ring- 
macula is an oblique reddish-white streak extending to the narrow reniform macula which is edgeil with red¬ 
dish-white, and with a white streak at the end of the median vein. The exterior line is a row of black dots, 3 black 
spots behind it at the costal margin. At the margin there is a red-brown spot behind the cell, an oblique black 
spot is near the anal angle. Hindwing dark brown. $ 34 mm. Nigeria. 
C. atrinota Hmps. {6g). Body and forewing straw-coloured, the veins somewhat red-brown. A fine ulrUwia. 
black streak below the base of the cell. A short white wedge-shaped streak at the end of the median vein, a 
black dot above it, a triangular spot behind it. The exterior line is a row of fine black dots. A triangular rusty 
brown spot below the apex is connected with a darker marginal line. Hindwing purely white. ^ 30 mm. Ma- 
shona Land, Transvaal. 
C. perstriata Hmps. Body whitish ochreous and brownish. Forewing whitish ochreous, the veins and 'persiriata. 
lines between them violettish-brown, only the costal margin paler. A white wedge with a black dot at the median 
vein. Interior line marked by some black dots. The exterior line is a complete row of dots. A pale oblique 
band from the apex. Hindwing white, somewhat brownish at the margin. ^ 40 mm. Rodriguez. 
C. insulicola Guen. {— simplaria Saalm.) (6g). Thorax ochreous and red-brown. Tegulae with 2 dark 
lines. Forewing brownish ochreous. Veins whitish, edged with brown, with brown streaks between them. In¬ 
terior line marked by black dots below the cell. A black dot surrounded by white at the lower cell-angle. The 
exterior row of dots is somewhat angular at vein 4, and a few dots are before this row. A pale band from the 
apex is edged with dark on both sides. Hindwing purely white, slightly brownish in the $. 32—-35 mm. West 
and South Africa, Madagascar. — In gambiensis Strd. there is another small dark spot behind the lower cell- 
angle, the marginal area is darker. Gambia. 
C. leucosticha Hmps. (= insulicola Saalm.) (6 h) has been placed rather far from insulicola by Hampson, leucosticha. 
but it is extremely similar to it. The tegulae have 3 dark lines. The median vein is said to be edged with 
brownish on both sides. The only actual difference is that there is only a small white dot at the lower cell-end, 
not a black one surrounded by white. The hindwing seems to be mostly somewhat darker than in insulicola. 
South and East Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius. 
C. clavifera Hmps. Body and forewing brownish white, lighter at the costal and inner margins . Yellowish davifcra. 
in the cellular and submedian folds. Median vein with a fine white streak, a black streak below the base of 
the cell. A coniform macula is marked by single black scales. A wedge-shaped white spot at the cell-end. An 
exterior row of black dots. A fine white streak below the end of vein 7. Hindwing purely white. $ 32 mm. 
East Africa. 
C. phaea Hmps. (6h). Thorax dark greyish-brown, abdomen lighter. Forewing dark greyish-brown, phaca. 
darker in the cell, a triangular marginal spot below the apex also darker, median vein faded dark. A white dot 
or streak at the lower cell-angle. Interior line angled in the submedian fold. Exterior line dentate, especially 
behind the cell, making the species easily discernible. Hindwing white, somewhat brownish at the apex. S 
32 mm. South Africa, Nyassa District. 
C. atrimacula Hmps. Thorax greyish yellow, abdomen lighter. Forewing pale straw-coloured. Interior atrimacula. 
line very obliquely outwards, strongly notched, with a black dot at vein 1. A black dot Avith a white halo at 
the lower cell-angle, an almost square brownish-black spot behind it. An exterior row of black dots, angled 
at vein 4, a less distinct row before it from the inner margin to the centre of the cross-vein, where it is bent 
inwards. A triangular dark brown shadow from the apex. Hindwing whitish ochreous, narrowly brownish at 
the margin. 27—30 mm. Natal. 
C. albimacula Gaede (6 h). Body and forewing pale yellow. A black dot in the submedian fold is the albimacula. 
remainder of the interior line. A white dot at the lower cell-angle with a blackish patch distal y, both surrounded 
with a rusty reddish radial shadow. The exterior line is a very incomplete row of dots. Below the apex a rusty 
insulicola.
