below the apex, and those of secondaries j'ellow at outer augle. Under surface of primaries 
fuliginous, with the costal, apical, and inner marginal areas broadly yellowish ; spots as above 
but, excepting the pair in discoidal cell, followed by black dots : secondaries yellowish, with 
a black spot in each median interspace, and a third towards costa (sometimes there is a fourth 
black spot in subcostal interspace) ; there is a fuliginous streak, increasing in width towards 
inner margin, in submedian interspace, this is sometimes edged above with whitish. Antenna; 
black, narrowly ringed with buff beneath ; club with the basal portion buff and the apical 
portion brownish. 
Expanse 31-34 millim. 
I received six specimens, all males, of this species from Western China, 
where they were taken at Wa-ssu-kow, in July. 
The subapical and discoidal spots are very minute, and in some examples 
the latter are united, forming a transverse linear spot. In one specimen, the 
largest in the series, all the spots are unusually small, and the upper sub- 
apical one is hardly discernible.

" Differs from CelmwrrMnus, Hiibner, in the fore wing being more triangular, the middle disco- 
cellular nei-vule being distinctly longer instead of shorter than the lower discocellular, concave 
instead of almost straight, the middle and lower discocellular nervules taken together less 
strongly inwardly obli(jue ; the hind wing is also shorter and more produced posteriorly and 
the costa is much arched, the discoidal cell is distinctly shorter, thus causing all the veins 
which spring from it (the first and second subcostal, the discoidal, and the three median 
nervules) to be distinctly longer. There is a marked difference in the length of the haustellum 
or tongue, which in C. leucocera, Kollar, measures 1'8 inches, in N, ali/sos, Moore, only "9 of 
an inch, or exactly half.

This species can be readily separated from N. feisihameli by the three.
