! Celcenorrhinus maculicornis, n. sp. (Plate XVIII. fig. 8, s .) 

 6 . This species may be distinguished from C. leucocera by reason that the 

 upperside or front of the shaft of the antennas in the male is minutely and regularly 

 spotted with black and white. This might be considered a trivial and insufficient 

 character, were it not for the fact that the male of C. leucocera, whatever may be the 

 state of the spotting of the wings, always has the upperside or front of the shaft of the 

 antenna; continuously pure white from the base to the apex. 



There are in coll. Elwes more than twenty males of C. leucocera from various 

 localities, and we have examined at least as many more in other collections without 

 finding any trace of a tendency to spotting on the front of the shaft of the antennas. 

 The relationship of C. maculicornis to C. leucocera is quite different from that of 

 C. leucocera var. angustipennis ; the latter being separated from ft leucocera by 

 differences in the spotting and shape of the wings, which are distinctly variable 

 in ft leucocera ; whilst the character by which we separate C. maculicornis is one 

 which proves to be constant in ft leucocera. The male genitalia do not afford 

 material for its separation from ft leucocera or ft sumitra. 



Hab. Shillong, Khasias, 6400 feet (Elwes) ; ? Kumaon? (fide Doncaster 1 Khasias). 



Described from two males in coll. Elwes. It seems probable that this species is 

 passed over in collections as the female of ft leucocera, which has brown antennas 

 with a broad white band on the club. We do not know the female of ft maculi- 

 cornis.

A common and variable species. The type of putra, which is in the British Museum, 

 is from Java.
