16 HAUSTELLATA. LEPIDOPTERA. 



obtuse: maxillce elongate. Antenna; moderate, rather stout, pubescent be- 

 neath, and ciUated in the males : head with a dense tuft of scales on the crown : 

 eyes naked : thorax large, somewhat downy, not crested : body rather short 

 and slender, the sides and apex tufted, the apical tuft largest in the males : 

 wings deflexed, entire ; anterior elongate-triangular, obtuse ; stigmata especially 

 the posterior, conspicuous, and not concolorous. 



In bulk, the Celsense nearly resemble the insects of the preceding 

 genus, but they may be distinguished therefrom by their broader 

 anterior wings, which have the posterior stigmata very conspicuous, 

 and in general the adjoining nervures pale, as in Nsenia: the thorax 

 is stout, rather pubescent, and not crested ; the palpi densely clothed 

 with elongate scales, with the terminal joint exposed, somewhat 

 linear and obtuse, not subacuminate, as in Miana : — they are less 

 variable than the insects of the last genus, and appear to frequent 

 damp situations, being usually found on the borders of extensive 

 sheets of water.

Head, thorax, and abdomen of an uniform ashy-brown : anterior wings the same, 

 tinged with greenish, and a little varied with yellow, with an obscure black 

 lineola at the base, and an imperfect undated black striga ; in the middle is a 

 dark fuscous fascia attenuated on the inner margin, and banded anteriorly and 

 posteriorly by an indistinct black or dusky striga, the latter a little angulated 

 behind the posterior stigma : in this fascia the usual stigmata are placed, the 

 anterior one being minute, sublinear, and margined with black, the posterior 

 kidney-shaped and flavescent : adjoining the second transverse striga is a third 

 stigmatiform mark of a deep black, with the centre rather fuscous : posterior 

 wings whitish, with a dusky or brown border. 



Of this remarkably conspicuous and distinct species, I have 

 hitherto seen but three specimens ; one in my own cabinet, the other 

 two in that of Mr. Stone : my specimen I obtained from the Mar- 

 shamian collection, and Mr. Stone's were taken, I believe, near 

 London, many years since ; — it does not appear to be noticed by 

 continental writers.
