4 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



proxiinally to the oblique line. Hindwing oq an average less bulged in the middle 

 than in palparia, distal half of fringe not darkened. 



Celebes, widely distributed, the type from S. Celebes, August — September 

 1891 (W. Doherty); Sula Mangoli ; Batchian. All in coll. Tring Mus. 



The brightest examples strongly recall on the upperside A. continuaria Walk., 

 with which it has probably been confused ; but the lack of yellow costal margin of 

 hindwing, the continuation of the line of the hindwing to the costal edge, less 

 yellow underside and other characters readily distinguish it. 



9. Conolophia nigripuncta rudis subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Nearest to the rare aberrations of name-typical nigripuncta Hmpsn. . 

 in which the line of hindwing is weak above, entirely wanting beneath, the 

 entire underside much spotted and blotched with grey. Distinguished by the 

 strong dark markings of the forewing above, in particular by thick, elongate black 

 spots on. the hindmargin of the forewing at the end of the postmedian and 

 the (otherwise almost entirely obsolete) antemedian line and conspicuous black 

 dots placed on the postmedian of the same wing on SC 5 and the radials and 

 medians, tending to increase progressively in size posteriorly, so that on the 

 medians they become confluent. In the c? there is also a large blackish cloud 

 about the cell-spot, and a similar tendency, though less developed, is indicated 

 in the ?. 



Penrisen Mountains, Sarawak, June 1892 (A. Everett), type and another <$ 

 and 5 ? ? in coll. Tring Mus.; Kiua Balu, N. Borneo, 2 cJcf in the same 

 collection. 



Perhaps a distinct species. 



10. Naxa textilis parvipuncta subsp. nov. 



Differs from name-typical textilis Walk, in having the large discal ocellus 

 of each wing reduced to a small dark spot or dot ; subterminal dots also reduced 

 in size. 



S. India, the most extreme form known to me inhabiting the Nilgiris. Type, 

 Nilgiris, in coll. Tring Mus. 



11. Celerena semperi sp. nov. 



Celerena eucnemis Semper, Reisen Philipp. (2) vi. 623 (1901) (nee Feld.). 



8 , 68 mm. Similar to palawanica Pagenst., differing as follows : Palpus 

 with third joint slightly longer. Proximal joints of antenna with longer ciliation 

 (apparently not much shorter than diameter of shaft, but unfortunately a little 

 affected by mould ; in palawanica a mere pubescence), first joint of tarsus with 

 the residue beyond the process half as long again (fully 1 mm.). 



Forewing with the first band much broader (2 mm.) and straight, the black 



proximal edging to the grey border also much broader. -Hindwing with the 



proximal edging of the grey border correspondingly broadened ; beneath without 

 the dark costal edging of palawanica 3. 



Samar, Philippines, June — July 1896 (J. Whitehead). Type in coll. 

 Tring Mus. 



It is practically certain, from his brief remarks, that this is the eucnemis of
