CEL^NORRHINUS. 



Antennae above silvery- white. Palpi and front of thorax beneath pale 

 yellow. Abdomen with narrow orange-yellow segmental bands. Female,

 series of white spots. 



Expanse : <? 2, 9 2f inches. 



Habitat : N.-E. Bengal." (Moon, I. c.) 



Also recorded from Kumaon (Doherty) ; Sikkim (Elwes). 



According to Mr. Elwes this species can be distinguished from C. leitcocera 

 by its large size, much larger and more numerous spots on the hindwing, 

 and bright yellow, not greyish-yellow fringes ; and can be distinguished 

 from C. pulomaya y which it more nearly resembles in general appearance, by 

 the colour of the antennae, and the absence of the yellow spot on the hind- 

 margin of the forewing. 



Not in collection Indian Museum, unknown to de Niceville. 



Mr. de Niceville considers that Mr. Elwes has probably wrongly 

 identified his specimens.
