! CELiENORKHINUS MACULICORNIS, n. sp. (Plate XVIII. fig. 8, 6 .) 

 6 . This species may be distinguished from C. leucocera by reason that the 

 upperside or front of the shaft of the antennae in the male is minutely and regularly 

 spotted with black and white. This might be considered a trivial and insuflScient 

 character, were it not for the fact that the male of C. leucocera, whatever may be the 

 state of the spotting of the wings, always has the upperside or front of the shaft of the 

 antennse continuously pure white from the base to the apex. 



There are in coll. Elwes more than twenty males of C. leucocera from various 

 locaUties, and we have examined at least as many more in other collections without 

 finding any trace of a tendency to spotting on the front of the shaft of the antennae. 

 The relationship of C. macuUcornis to C. leucocera is quite different from that of 

 C. leucocera var. angustipennis ; the latter being separated from C. leucocera by 

 differences in the spotting and shape of the wings, which are distinctly variable 

 in C. leucocera; whilst the character by which we separate C. macuUcornis is one 

 which proves to be constant in C. leucocera. The male genitalia do not afford 

 material for its separation from C. leucocera or C. sumitra. 



Hab. Shillong, Khasias, 6400 feet {Elwes) ; ? Kumaon? {fide Boncaster 1 Khasias). 



Described from two males in coll. Elwes. It seems probable that this species is 

 passed over in collections as the female of C. leucocera, which has brown antennae 

 with a broad white band on the club. We do not know the female of C. macuU- 

 cornis.
