Color, pale dirty yellow, with a few brown dots and dashes, as shown in the illustration. Plate 7, figs, a and h. The form approximates closely that of C. australis, but is slightly more robust through the center, and has a somewhat higher arch to the thorax. Short yellowish vibrissae occur over the head, dorsum and abdomen. A series of nodules, bearing short yellowish vibrissae is placed sub-stigmatally. Wing cases bare, with elongate dark shadings between the venules. Stigmata brownish-black, surrounded by an areola of light orange-brown. Cremaster, orange or yellow. There is evidently some variation in both the form and color of the chrysalis, as one example possessed a less robust abdomen than the other, and the dorsum was colored a grayish green. There was also a greenish tinge on the ventral surface of the abdomen. The specimen which pupated on Dec. 29, 1930, gave forth an imago on Jan. 13, 1931. The pupa suspended on the side of the breeding cage, with a supporting girdle, and button for attachment of the cremasteric hooks. This may be characteristic of all members of the genus, though it was not observed in the case of C. australis. '\Mf<^^-,.
