CEL^NOEEHINUS. 383 



The male genitalia have a tegumen divided into two divergent points at the end, 

 these are depressed at the extremity ; the harpes are split into two lobes, the lower one 

 wide and rounded at the end, the upper one attenuated. (See Tab. LXXXV. fig. 1.) 



2. Celaenorrhinus variegatus, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXV. figg. 2, 3, 4 s .) 



C. eligio afiinis, sed posticis margine externo magis rotundato, minime angulato, maculis obsoletis pallidis nullis, 

 sed pagina tota saturate fusco quasi variegata : palpis subtus medialiter fuscis, lateribus et oeulorum 

 ambitu postice albidis. 



Eab. Mexico, Dos Arroyos, Venta de Zopilote, Tierra Colorada in Guerrero 

 (H. ff. Smith), Jalapa, Coatepec (W. Schaus); Guatemala, Volcan de Santa Maria 

 ( W. B. Richardson) ; Nicaragua, Chontales {Belt). 



Though much like C. eligius in general appearance this species may be readily 

 distinguished by the more rounded, less angular, secondaries, the absence of obscure 

 yellowish spots on the upperside of the same wings, and by the large dark spots 

 spread over their whole surface, giving it a mottled appearance. 



We have several specimens of C. variegatus collected by Mr. Herbert Smith in the 

 State of Guerrero, and others from the slopes of the Volcano of Santa Maria in 

 Guatemala, and also one from Belt's collection. The species, therefore, has a wide 

 range, chiefly, but not wholly, in the country bordering the Pacific Ocean. 



The male genitalia differ to some extent from those of C. eligius ; the points of 

 the tegumen are more contiguous and parallel, and the branches of the harpes 

 more equal in size and bent towards each other like the arms of a pair of forceps. 

 (See Tab. LXXXV. fig. 4.) 



3. Celaenorrhinus chiriquensis. (Tab. LXXXV. figg. 5, 6, 7 j .) 



Narga chiriquensis, Mab. Bull. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxxv. p. lxx (1891) \ 



0. eligio quoque similis, sed anticis fascia mediana semihyalina nulla, maculis omnibus semibyalinis parvis, 

 anticis dimidio apicali et posticis indistincte nigro variegatis ; palpis subtus medialiter fuscis, lateribus et 

 oeulorum ambitu postice cervino-albidis. 



Bab. Mexico, Atoyac, Teapa (//. H. Smith); Nicaragua, Chontales [Belt); Costa 

 Rica, Irazu (Rogers); Panama, Bugaba (Champion), Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger 1 ), 

 Veraguas (Arce). 



Dr. Staudinger has kindly lent us two specimens of this species from Chiriqui 

 named by M. Mabille l " Narga chiriquensis" They agree with our series, which 

 includes examples from Eastern Mexico and several of the Central -American States, 

 though none have reached us from Guatemala. They also agree structurally with 

 C. eligius, the type of Celaenorrhinus, so that Narga becomes a synonym of that genus. 



Apparently rare in more northern districts, C. chiriquensis is quite common in the 

 neighbourhood of Chiriqui, whence Mr. Champion has sent us many specimens, and 

 where Herr Ribbe captured Dr. Staudinger's specimens.
