CEL/ENORRHINUS. 



" Upperside dark brown. Anterior wing with a central narrow band, 

 and four white spots near the apex (one of which is very minute and 

 considerably below the rest) transparent white. Posterior wing with the 

 fringe orange. 



Underside as above, except that the posterior wing has a central 

 yellow spot. Antennae with a white ring near the point. 



Expanse : 2 T V inches. 



Habitat : Darjeeling (Atkinson)." (Hewitson, Ann. Nat. Hist.^ I. c.) 



This seems to be a very rare species. Mr. de Niceville states (J. A. S. B., 

 1883, p. 88) he has only seen two specimens, one in Col. Lang's collection, 

 the other in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; both, as well as the specimen 

 described by Hewitson, are from Sikkim. These two specimens have a 

 fifth subapical small white spot, the extra one placed above the minute 

 spot described by Hewitson in the lower discoidal interspace. The ring 

 below the club of the antenna is ochreous, not white as stated by Hewitson' 



In his list of Sikkim butterflies Elwes states that according to Moller 

 it occurs at low elevations. 



In collection Indian Museum. 



The late Herr Plotz has also described two species of Hesperiidoe 

 from " India" (Plesioneuva leucographa, and Plesioncura chimera) which in the 

 absence of descriptions or specimens, Mr. de Niceville has tentatively 

 placed in his genus Notocvypta.

" Forewing, costa slightly arched, apex rather acute, outer margin 

 convex, inner margin straight; costal nervure terminating opposite the 

 apex of the discoidal cell, first, second, and third subcostal nervules 

 with their bases almost equi-distant, fourth subcostal with its base half 

 as near to the base of the third subcostal as that vein is to the second, 

 terminating at the apex of the wing, terminal portion of subcostal 

 nervure. or fifth subcostal nervule with its base almost touching that of 

 the fourth, terminating on the outer margin far below the apex of the 

 wing; discoidal cell long, narrow; upper disco-cellular nervule 

 straight, strongly outwardly oblique, very short; middle and lower 

 disco-cellular nervules almost in the same straight line (the lower a 

 little concave), the lower a little longer than the upper, both veins 

 taken together strongly inwardly oblique; second median nervule
