118 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAKDS : 



cell 1 ff of the fore wing is attended on the outer side by two suffused whitish blotches- 

 divided by the intra-neural fold. The hind wing below is dark brown with somewhat 

 of a purple shade, and there is a feeble suffused yellow spot next the transverse vein 

 and a subterminal series of suffused indistinct yellow spots, of which the strongest 

 are the two in cell 1 b. 



Expanse 321-36^ mm. 



ffab. Kina Balu, Borneo [Water stradt). 



Described from three males and two females ex coll. Staudinger. Males only 

 are in coll. Elwes. 



! Cel^nokehinus nigricans.

 Hah. Mandi, N.W. Himalaya [Young); Sikkim [MoUer) ; E. Pegu [Doherty). 



Cel^norrhinus orbiperus, n. sp. (Plate XVIII. fig. 2, cj .) 



cj . Very near to C. 7iigricans, de Niccv., from which it differs in the following 

 particulars : — Upperside darker brown, the white spot in cell 2 of the fore wing 

 suborbicular, occupying the whole width of the cell; the white spot in cell 1 a of 

 the fore wing minute, punctiform, and placed near the apical fifth of vein 2. On 

 the underside of the fore wing the white spot in cell 1 « is larger than on the upperside, 

 and accompanied by a suffused subquadrate whitish spot. 



Hab. Kina Balu, Borneo ( Waterstradt). 



Described from one example ex coll. Staudinger.

We have examined Staudinger's type of palajava, which agrees with what Elwes 

 followed de Niceville in calling C. cacus, but which agrees with an example from 

 Malacca figured by Distant as asmara, Butl. We have seen Mabille's type of 

 P. goto, but strongly doubt the habitat given by him.
