12 CELERENA. By L. B. Prout. . 
C. andamana Feld. (3 g) represents divisa on the Andamans. Very distinct in the much thinner 
black lines. 
C. divisa Walk. (3 g). A well-known species, fairly common from Sikkim to Burma. Midcostal 
spot broad, rather obtusely angulated. — ab. extraluteata Th.-Mieg has on both wings a slight yellow band 
on the proximal part of the grey border. — siamica Swinh. has narrower black markings, though still markedly 
different from those of andamana ; midcostal mark generally rather sharply angulated. Further India, Malay 
Peninsula and Hainan. 
C. signata Wan. (3 g). Distinguished from divisa by its darker borders, more suffused base of costa 
and longer midcostal streak, which reaches*the fold instead of terminating at the 2nd median vein. Malay 
Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo and Palawan. — nigripalpis Swinh. seems to be merely an aberration with an 
increase of black scaling on the outerside of the palpus. 
C. palawanica Pagenst. (3 g). Midcostal streak slender, more oblique, joining the distal band at 
the 2nd median, enclosing an oval or somewhat kidney-shaped yellow costal patch. Mindoro, Palawan and 
Balabac. According to Semper also on Luzon, Island Camotes. 
P 
C. semperi Prout (= eucnemis Semp. nec Feld.) (3 h) has the black markings broader and the yellow 
postmedian patch extended broadly to the costal margin. The type is from Samar, but the species is locally 
common on Camiguin de Mindanao and Cebu. 
C. mutata Walk. (= eucnemis Feld.) (3 h). One of the largest species and further characterized 
by the pale grey (generally yellow-mixed) band which traverses the dark distal border, at least on the fore¬ 
wing. • This and the next 8 species have the 3rd joint of the palpus of moderate length, the 2nd tarsus joint 
of the shorter (generally very much shorter) than the unthickened terminal part of the 1st joint, mutata. 
inhabits Mysol. Salawatti, Ron Island and New Guinea. Felder’s type was said to be from Celebes, but' 
this seems to me doubtful. 
C. triflava Wan. represents mitis on Biak. Distinguished by the yellow subapical patch of the 
fore wing. 
C. mitis Wan. (3 h) is best recognized by the shape of the black border of the forewing, which is 
narrow and proximally crenulate-.edged from the submedian fold to the 2nd radial and then suddenly widens 
into a moderate apical patch. The name-typical form, from Humboldt Bay, Woodlark, St. Aignan and 
Sudest Islands, has the oblique black band of the forewing diffusely broadened posteriorly, generally reaching 
the hindmargin proximally to the anal angle. — evitans Prout (3i)is a more deeply coloured, on an average larger, 
form from the Solomons, Rock Island and the Bismarck Archipelago, with the oblique black band generally 
narrowed posteriorly, meeting the distal border on the 2nd submedian vein, the hindmargin remaining yellow 
almost to the anal angle. 
C. vulgaris Butlr. ( = proxima Meyr., nec Walk.) (3 li) has the black markings much more extended. 
This and mitis are the only species of the group in which the $ antenna is without sexual tufts. British 
New Guinea and Fergusson Island. 
C. obiana Prout (3 h). Similar to vulgaris , more deeply coloured, black hindmarginal area of forewing 
more sharply defined, black border of hindwing still broader. antenna with a strong tuft of sex-scales 
in the middle. Obi; also in a slightly less blackened form from Halmalieira, Batjan and Burn. 
C. waigeuensis Joicey and Talbot. Structure of obiana, markings more nearly as in mitis , than 
which it is larger, with slightly broader black markings. Tibial and tarsal processes more black-mixed than in 
obiana. Waigeu; ? Mysol. 
C. proxima Walk. (3 h). A large, rather elongate-winged species. Ground-colour less bright yellow 
than in most of the group, hindwing beneath (except occasionally in the 9) with a large black cell-spot, which 
also shows, though more weakly, on the upperside. The sexual patch in the cell of the forewing unusually highly 
developed. Celebes. 
C„ spreta Walk. (3 i) is perhaps a race of the following, but the ciliation of the proximal part of the $ 
antenna seems shorter and more even. In the greater extension of the yellow markings it resembles waigeuensis 
more than perithea. North Moluccas. — ab. clirysauge Feld, has the oblique black band of the forewing ta¬ 
pering posteriorly. — substigmaria Wan. is a form from Obi in which the f§ hindwing develops a large cell-spot 
beneath as in proxima. 
C. perithea Cram. (= connexa Walk.) (3 i). Easily distinguished from obiana and waigeuensis by having 
the proximal part of the $ antenna strongly ciliated in fascicles. Variable in the extent of the yellow markings,
