CelsBnorrhinus consanguinea. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 3, .) 



Celcenorrhhms consanguinea, Leecli, Entomologist, xsiv., Suppl. p. 61 (1891). 



Dark brown, sprinkled with ochreous scales, especially on the basal third of primaries ; these 

 wings have a central series of five diaphanous spots and five towards apex ; there is also a 

 spot midway between central series and base of wing. The spots on secondaries are pale 

 orange, and comprise a large one in the centre of the wing, three between it and the abdo- 

 minal margin, and one, or sometimes two, towards the base of the wing, beyond there is a 

 transverse scries of seven or eight, but that nearest the costa is soriietimes absent. On the 

 underside of primaries there are two extra spots in the submedian interspace; on the second- 

 aries all the spots are larger in size and paler in colour, and there are three distinct spots 

 in the basal area. The fringes of the primaries are of ground-colour, spotted and dashed 

 with pale yellowish white, and those of the secondaries are pale yellowish white, with patches 

 of the ground-colour at the extremities of the nervulcs. Anteunaj arc black, broadly banded 

 M'ith whitish before the club. 



Expanse 50 millim. 



This sj)ecies agrees in many respects with C. pero, de Niceville, Bomb. Nat, 

 Hist. Journ. iv. p. 183, pi. B. fig. 12 (1889) ; but apart from the more rounded 

 contour of outer margin of primaries, the different character of the markings 

 on antennae and fringes of primaries will, in conjunction with the additional 

 spots on the under surface, separate these two closely-allied species. 



The sexes do not differ in colour or ornamentation. Occurs in June and 

 July at altitudes ranging from 3000 to 6000 feet at Moupin, Omei-shan, 

 Wa-shan, and Ta-cliien-lu in Western China, also at Ichang in Central China.

 " Male and female dark olive-brown, paler at the base. 



" Male. Fore wing with an obliijuc discal series of four conjugated semitraus])arent white spots, 

 the first and second large and quadrate, the other two very small, first one within the

 the first and second ; a series of five small similar spots obli(]uely before the ajjcx. Hind 

 wing with a submarginal row and a few discal briglit orange-yellow spots; cilia of hind wing
