70 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



Iielowjust before tlie base of the cluli, the c]ub deep black above, paler below, tip 

 ochreoufi. 



The male differs from the female (previously described erroneously as a male) in 

 its smaller size, darker coloration, smaller spots, especially the uppermost spot of the 

 discal macular band of the forewing, and in having one diaphanous and one black spot 

 only in the sub-median interspace, instead of two of each, as in the female. 



Tliis species evidently belongs to Mr. Moore's genus Tapena, the male agreeing 

 \-ery well in outline with the male of the type species of that genus, T. thuriiiesi, 

 ]\loore, from Orissa, South India, Ceylon, and Myitta in Burma. In both species the 

 hind leg of the male is furnished with a very thick tibial bunch of hairs, each one of 

 which is, as seen under a strong lens, strap-shaped, being quite flat, of equal length 

 throughout, and very thin. I have no doubt that Celsenorrhinus huchananii, mihi, also 

 belongs to the genus Tape^ia, and that, now that both sexes of T. laxm'i are known, 

 it will prove to be quite distinct. Described from a single example in the collection of 

 Mr. H. J. Elwes, obtained by ]\Ir. W. Doherty, in Perak, in the Malay Peninsula, in 

 January or February, 1890. (de Niceville.) 



Expanse of wings, $ ly*^, ? \^-^ inches. 



Habitat. — Upper Tenasserim, Perak, Borneo, Sumatra. 



Distribution. — The type, a female, described erroneously as a male from Toungyan 

 in Burma, is in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; the type male from Perak is in 

 coll. Elwes ; de Niceville also records it from N. Burma and from the Chin Hills, 

 Elwes from the Kina Balu, Borneo, and Sumatra; it is not in the B. M., and we 

 have not been able to procure any specimens ; we therefore give copies of de Niceville's 

 fiiTures.

Imago. — Female, very closely allied to C. laxmi, mihi, from which it differs in its 

 considerably larger .size. Upperside. Forewing with the white discal band fully twice 

 as wide, not divided into spots, extending uninterruptedly from the costa to the sub- 

 median nervure, its edges very irregular, its lower portion posterior to the first median 

 ncrvule much narrower than the rest of the band ; it lacks the two small obliquely 

 placed dots found towards the base of the sub-median interspace in C. laxmi. Ilind- 

 irlng, instead of possessing two parallel discal macular black bands, has a rounded black
