by the types, which I saw in the possession of Mons. Mabille 

 upon the occasion of my last visit to Paris. While I did not have 

 specimens of these species with me at the time for purposes of 

 comparison, the insects before me agree so well with the descrip- 

 tions given by Mons. Mabille, and with the hasty pen and ink 

 outlines I drew at the time, that I am quite confident that there 

 is no error in the determinations given. Celcenorhinus co/lucens^ 

 mihi, I had determined as C. {Pardaleodes) hccens Mab., but my 

 good friend, Dr. Scudder, who recently did me the great kind- 

 ne.>>s of comparing a set of drawings of some of the Hesperiidae- 

 in my collection with those contained in the collection of Mons, 

 Mabille and other great European collections, assures me that 

 my species, while very near C. luccns Mab., is nvmifestly distinct, 

 the mesial band on the primaries being much broader in C. lucens^ 

 than in my species. 



I hope shortly to be able to publish a revision of the Hes- 

 periidae of Africa and the adjacent islands, and for this purpose 

 am having drawings made of the types of the hitherto unfigured 

 species which are contained in the museums of Europe. The 

 work is one of some magnitude, and is attended with considerable 

 expense, but will prove a great boon to working naturalists,, 

 unless I am greatly mistaken. 



CELJENORHINUS, Hiibn. 

 I. C. colluceas sp. no v. i^. — Allied to C. lucens Mab., MS? The upper 

 side of the head, thorax, and abdomen is fuscous, clothed with olivar eous- 

 green hairs. The lowerside of the thorax and abdomen are much paler. 

 The palpi on the lower side are ochraceous. The antennae, which are 

 blackish, are marked with ochraceous on the underside at the tip and 

 just after the club. The pnmaries are dark brown clothed with greenish 

 olivaceous hairs at the base. They are traversed by a broad translucent 

 mesial band of bright waxen-yellow, on the costa and near the outer 

 angle showing bright lemon. This band is somewhat regularly indented 

 on the innerside and very irregularly indented on the outer margin. In 

 addition, there are three large, translucent, subapical spots. The secon- 

 daries are dark brown or blackish, heavily clothed with greenish hairs at 

 the base, and with a few patches of similar haiis beyond the cell. Upon 

 the outer margin, just below the outer angle, is a broad lemon-yellow 

 spot. On the underside the ground color of both wings is much paler. 

 The markings of the primaries reappear on this side, and, in addition, the 

 costa near the base is yellowish. The secondaries are without the large 

 lemon-yellow spot near the outer angle, and are slightly clouded with 

 darker brown.
