Show 1892.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 661 CELiENORRHINUS LEUCOCIRCA. Hesperia leucocirca, Koll. in Hiigel's Kaschm. p. 454, xviii. 3, 4. Celcenorrhinus leucocirca, de Nicev. 1. c. p. 184. Of this wide-ranging and variable species I have specimens from the Karen Hills and Momeit. CELCENORRHINUS PINWILLI. Plesioneura pinwilli, Butl. Trans. Linn. Soc, 2nd ser. Zool. i. p. 556, t. lxviii. 4 o*. Celcenorrhinus pinwilli, de Nicev. 1. c. p. 187. A single specimen of this beautiful species from Perak. CELCENORRHINUS NIGRICANS. Plesioneura nigricans, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. liv. pt. ii. p. t. 11. 6 2- Celcenorrhinus nigricans, de Nicev. 1. c. p. 186. Three specimens of this from the Karen Hills, though agreeing with one named C. nigricans by de Niceville from Sikkim, are very near what I suppose to be P. chamunda, Moore, from the N.W. Himalayas and Sikkim. CELCENORRHINUS CHAMUNDA. Plesioneura chamunda, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 788. Celcenorrhinus chamunda, de Nicev. 1. c. p. 185. A single specimen from the Naga Hills. CELCENORRHINUS CACUS. C. cacus, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. v. p. 223, t. E. 11 3 (1890). A pair from the foot of the Karen Hills, which agree with the figure and description except iii having three apical dots joined together on the fore wing, instead of two as in the type from Rangoon. The female does not differ from the male except in the slightly broader wings, and has the fringes concolorous with the wings, and the antennae without white on shafts or club; the palpi are white below. ASTICTOPTERUS SALSALA. Nisoniades salsala, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 786. A. salsala, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 401, t. xxxiv. 21. ASTICTOPTERUS XANITES. A. xanites, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 510; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 402, t. xxxiv. 28. Seems common at Perak; I have it also from East Pegu, Tenasserim, and Tavoy. It is variable in size and in the length and breadth of the yellow band of the fore wing, but seems to be distinguished from the next species by the deeper black of both wings, and the narrower band and the absence of the gem-like spots |
