dark brown at the costal margin as w'ell as at the distal margin behind, the cell and. at the anal angle. Interior 
line dark, extending somewhat inwards. A black dot behind it in the cell and. two at the cross-vein, a dark 
diffuse spot before them. Exterior line black, straight, somewhat outwards, dentate, with white dots at the 
veins. From the low'er cell-angle to vein 2 iimards, then straight to the inner margin. Hindwing with 2 black 
dots at the cross-vein. Exterior line finely black, dentate, with w'hite dots, ending with a larger white dot at 
the inner margin. Both wings with black dots before the margin and with a black marginal line. ^ 25 mm.

C. thermesialis Whr. (13 d). Body pale red-brown. Forewing browmish yellow, the marking darker thermosia- 
red-brown. Interior line distally angled in the cell, indistinct. The 3 black dots as in ignealis. A brown median 
band, enclosing the cross-vein, with 2 angles behind it, broad in front, narrow'er behind. Exterior line black, 
notched, with white dots at the tips, follow'ed behind by a brown band. Margin broad, dark, shaped as in 
ignealis, only the inward projections less strong. Hindwing chiefly red-brown, wdth a double dot at the cross¬ 
vein, the exterior line behind it as on the forew'ing, and a light sidmiarginal line. Marginal dots as in ignealis.

at the inner margin of the forewdng. Interior line dark, indistinct. The usual 3 black dots. Median line narrow, 
excurved around the cross-vein, then strongly inwards, from vein 2 vertical. Exterior line black, notched, the 
median line parallel, dark behind it. Then a light yellowdsh submarginal line. Margin as in thermesialis . Hind- 
wdng same as forewing. Sometimes both wdngs exhibit a browner marginal area: — limbobrunnea Strd. limbobrun-

Forewdng wdth traces of a black interior line, wdth a black spot behind it in the cell and a black streak, edged 
yellow outside, at the cross-vein. Traces of a dark line from the low'er cell-angle to the inner margin. Exterior 
line strongly notched, about parallel to the distal margin, wdth white dots at the veins. Behind it a yellow' 
apical spot w'ith red-brown scales. Hindwdng wdth 2 black dots at the cross-vein, the exterior line as on the 
forewdng, with more intense wdrite spots tow'^ards the inner margin. 24—28 mm. South and East Africa. — ca- capensis. 
pensis Strd. lacks the yellow apical spot on the forewdng. 
C. albivitta Hmps. Body and forewdng greyish red-brow'ii. Interior line of forewdng fine, black, incurved albivitta. 
at vein 1, w'ith a white dot at the costal margin. A round black spot at the cross-vein, wdth w'hite and red- 
brown scales on it. Exterior line likewdse black wdth a white dot at the costal margin below' wdiich it is strongly 
excurved, then finely dentate, w'ith w'hite dots at the veins and a w'hite spot at vein 6, incurved below vein 3. 
Submarginal line pale, edged black outside as far as vein 4. Hindwdng w'ith a black streak at the cross-vein 
and from there a dark shadow' to the inner margin. Exterior and submarginal lines coloured as on the forewing. 
Marginal line black in both wdngs, w'ith black spots between the veins. $ 20 mm. Central Africa. 
C. flavibasalis Hmps. (13 d). Thorax and anterior half of abdomen reddish yellow', the rest red-brow'n. flavlbasalis. 
Wings dark red-brow'n. Basal area of forewdng yellow', except at the costal margin. A bent dark interior line 
is traceable. Tw'o black dots surrounded by yellow' at the cross-vein. Exterior line fine black, strongly excurved 
below the costal margin, then punctiform, wdth w'hite accessory dots, a stronger dot only at vein 6. An oblique 
yellow' apical spot extends to vein 6. Hindwing likewdse yellow at the base. Exterior line fine w'hite, with 
black dots inside. Both \vings w'ith a black marginal line. 9 20 mm. Gold Coast.
