Peter,
You are correct. I was mislead by a error in Hampson's description
which states that the thorax and abdomen are crimson for C.
bellissima, while in this case, the thorax is white. However, I double
checked this in the Catalogue of the British Museum, which states the
thorax is indeed white and not crimson in C. bellissima.
Thanks and rgds
