132 CEL^NORRHINUS. 



arising some little distance before the lower end of the ce\\ f first median 

 nervule arising much nearer to the base of the wing than to the point 

 where the 'second median is given off ; submedian nervure slightly 

 recurved; internal nervure short and quickly running into the sub- 

 median nervure, with which it entirely anastomoses. Hindwing, costa 

 strongly arched at base then straight to apex, which latter is somewhat 

 acute in the male, rounded in the female, outer margin rounded, inner 

 margin convex ; costal nervure almost straight, terminating just before 

 the apex of the wing; first subcostal nervule originating some distance 

 before the apex of the cell ; upper disco-cellular nervule straight, very 

 slightly outwardly oblique ; lower disco-cellular also slightly outwardly 

 oblique, at first concave, then straight, a little longer than the upper 

 disco-cellular; discoidal nervule very fine, straight, arising at the point 

 of junction of the disco-cellular nervules ; second median nervule arising 

 just before the lower end of the cell, first median arising much nearer 

 the lower end of the cell than the base of the wing; submedian and 

 internal nervures straight. Type,* the Papilio eligius of Cramer. 



This diagnosis has been made from bleached wings of both sexes of 

 the " Hesperia" leucocera of Kollar, from Simla, and of the "Papilio" 

 eligius of Cramer from the Amazons, for the specimens of which latter I 

 am indebted to Dr. O. Staudinger. All the species of the genus settle 

 with wide outspread wings, which at once distinguishes them in life 

 from the genus Notocrypta, mihi, the species of which rest with wings 

 folded upright over the back. C. leucocera in the Western Himalayas 

 is markedly crepuscular, I have seen specimens over and over again 

 flying up and down a short distance of the bed of the Simla river with 

 immense rapidity, so fast that the eye can hardly follow them, settling 

 on a leaf for a second and then flying off again, long after the sun has 

 set. All that are known to me have the hindwing more or less spotted. 

 C. eligius, Cramer, was described from Surinam in South America, 

 and Felder states that he has received a specimen from Venezuela. 

 The similarity in the markings of the forewing of this species to those 

 of C. macutosa, Felder, from Shanghai, is not a little remarkable. The 

 transformations of only one species are known, those of 0. spilothyrus, 

 Felder." (de Niceville, /. c.)
