This seems an extremely rare and local species. 



Abraximorpha, gen. no v. 



This generic name is proposed for Pterygospidea davidii, Mab., a species which is 

 totally different in facies from any of the species properly referred to either of the 

 genera in which it has hitherto been placed, namely, Pterygospidea ^nA Celcenorrhimts. 



Antennae, wing-shape, venation, and tibial spurs of Celmnorrhinus. Palpi : second 

 joint ascending, third well-developed, porrect. Fore wing above greyish black, with 

 many irregular pure white spots ; hind wing below pure white, with four irregular 

 transverse series of greyish-black spots — basal, antemedian, postmedian, and terminal. 

 Front coxae of the male with a long hair-pencil on the inner lower side ; no hair-pencil 

 on the hind tibiae.

The slight arching of the lower margin of the cell of the fore wing between veins 

 2 and 3 in Sarangesa, upon which Watson in his table relies for the separation of the 

 former from Coladenia, Moore, is so slight as not to be readily appreciable. 



The following is a table of the species known to us : — 



1 (4). Hind wing below with small pale spots. 



2 (3). A large transparent pale spot in cell 2 of fore wing purendra, Moore. 



3 (2). No such spot iu cell 2 of fore wing sati, de Nicev.
