CEL.^iNOEEHINUS. 



571 



Mr. Elwes says that it is rare in Sikkim, and that ho has taken it in the 

 forest near Rikisnm, in British Bhotan, at an elevation of from 5000 to 

 7000 feet, in August. 



Celsenorrhinus aspersa. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 4, .) 



Celanorrhinus aspersa, Leechj Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. Gl (1891). 



Male. Similar to Celceriorrhiniis (Pterygospidea) maculosa, Feld., but larger, and the outer margin 

 of primaries is straighter ; the antennae are whitish in front ; the spots on the primaries are 

 numerically the same, but those in the median and submedian interspaces are elongated and 

 placed wider apart. On the secondaries the number and arrangement of yellow spots is 

 almost identical in both species, but in C. aspersa they are larger, and the three placed 

 between discal spot and abdominal margin are more or less confluent. On the under surface 

 the basal area of secondaries is dusted with yellowish scales. Fringes of primaries are of the 

 ground-colour, and of the secondaries yellow, except along the costal third of outer margin, 

 where they are of the ground-colour. 



One specimen from Chia-kou-ho. Taken at an elevation of 2000 feet in 

 July. 



CelsBnorrliinus pluscula, sp. nov. (Plate XXXIX fii^. 6, $ .) 



Female. Very similar to the same sex of C. pla<j}fera, Ae J^iceville *, but on the primaries the 

 costal spot of central series is absent, and on the secondaries there are complete central 

 and submarginal series of yellow spots but only one subbasal spot ; the fringes of these 

 wings are yellow chequered with the ground-colour, except at outer angle, where they appear 

 to be entirely of the ground-colour. 



The male, of which sex I have only one example, has the primaries rather more pointed, but 

 agrees in other respects with the female. 



Occurs in Western China at Moupin, Omei-shan, Pu-tsu-fong, and Wa-ssu- 

 kow, in June and July, at from 5000 to 8000 feet. 



Celaenorrhinus lucifera, sp. nov. (Plate XXXIX. fig. 5, $ .) 



Female. Fuliginous brown, powdered with ochreous yellow on the basal and inner marginal areas 

 of primaries. Primaries with the markings very similar to those of G. pulomnya, Moore t, 

 but the yellow spot in submedian interspace, one third from base, is clearer. Secondaries 

 have the discal area clothed with long ochreous-yellow hairs, and are marked with yellow as 

 follows : — a subbasal spot, a central series of spots, the first transversely elongate and the 

 others obscure, a submarginal series of seven spots. Fringes of primaries hardly paler than 

 the ground-colour, marked with yellowish towards the inner angle ; of secondaries yellowish 

 grej', marked with the ground-colour at extremities of the ncrvules. Antcnnte whitish above 

 and blackish beneath ; club whitish streaked with blackish. 



Expanse 63 millim.
