Celxnorrhinus pero, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., 

 vol. iv, p. 183, n. 20, pi. B., fig. 12, c? (1889). 



" Habitat : India. 



Expanse: c?, 2*2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings differ from those of 

 C. pyrrha, mihi, in being paler in colour. Forewing marked as in that 

 species, but the yellow spot one-third from the base of the wing in the 

 submedian interspace more prominent ; cilia broadly pale yellow and 

 brown. Hindwing as in C. pyrrha, but the yellow spots on the disc 

 smaller, and the cilia almost entirely pale yellow, only just touched 

 with brown at the ends of the veins, as in C. patula and C. flavocincta. 

 Underside, both wings as in C. pyrrha, but the spot one-third from 

 the base of the submedian interspace of the foreiuing much larger 

 than on the upperside and white. Antennas shining silvery -white 

 anteriorly throughout, posteriorly black. Palpi, white below instead of 

 pale yellow as in G. pyrrha. 



C. pero agrees with C, sumitra in having the antennae anteriorly 

 white, but differs from the description of that species in having the 

 palpi and front of thorax beneath white not pale yellow, and in 

 possessing the additional yellow spot one-third from the base and the 

 white spot one-third from the outer margin in the submedian interspace 

 of the fore wing on the upperside. 



Described from two male examples from Colonel G. F. L. Marshall's 

 collection. They are not ticketed, but I believe them to be from the 

 Western Himalayas." (de Niceville, I. c.) 



Mr. de Niceville has seen specimens of this species since the above 

 description was written in Mr. H. J. Elwes' collection captured by Mr. 

 W. Doherty in the Naga Hills.

 beneath it, fourth exteriorly before the juncture of the first and second ; 

 a series of five small similar spots obliquely before the apex : hindwing 

 with a submarginal row and a few discal bright orange-yellow spots ; 

 cilia of hindwing broadly alternate brown and orange-yellow. Underside
