Family EPIPLEMIDvE. 



Genus Amana, Wlk. 

 3039. A. angulifera, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 1,200 feet. This species was brought in by my collectors 

 on one occasion only and said to have been caught at Sivoke on the 

 Teesta. It has hitherto only been recorded from the Khasia Hills. 

 The date of the capture of my specimen was not recorded. (This 

 must be very rare in Sikhim, whence I have only a single specimen 

 from Mollor's collection. One from the Nagas has the yellow band 

 on the hindwing above unbroken. — H. J. E.) 



Genus Orudiza, Wlk. 



3040. O. protheclaria, Wlk. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 — 3,000 feet. I have eleven specimens 



taken at light by me at Punkabaree and Fagoo in June, July, August 



and September. I do not think it is a common insect anywhere 



within the above limits. 



Genus Epiplema, Herr Schaff. 



3041. E. columbaris, Butl. 



Bhutan, 2,500 feet. I took one specimen at Fagoo in July. The ground 

 colour of both wings is more purplish-brown than hair brown ; the cilia 

 ochreous. It is easily distinguishable from other species of the genus. 



3041a. E. inhians, Warr. 

 Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I have three males and four females taken at 

 light by me at Punkabaree in May, June, September and October. 

 The antennse in the male are thickened and flattened, the hindwing in 

 both sexes bears an elongate white C-shaped mark in the cell. 



30416. E. retracta, Hmpsn. 

 Sikhim. The only specimen obtained by me was the type which 

 is in the British Museum collection. 



3042. E. edentata, Hmpsn. 



Sikhim. I have not seen this from Sikhim. I have one specimen 

 from Kanara, in S.-W. India, which is typical. This proves that 

 although rare it has a wide range. (A very distinct species of which 

 I have seen only the type specimen from Sikhim. — H. J. E.) 



3043. E. reticulata, Moore. 



Sikhim. I have only taken this in the Kangra Valley, Punjab, in 

 September at 5,000 feet elevation. (Very rare in Sikhim. I have 

 only two specimens, one of which is from the Atkinson collection. — > 

 H. J. E.)
