THE HETEROCERA OF SIR HIM AND BHUTAN. 325- 



306 lb. E. nivea, Hmpsn. 



Sikhim, 12,000 feet. Differs from E. himala, Butl., in the markings 

 beinff much reduced and the suffusion on the underside of the 

 forewing in the form of two narrow bands. 



3061a. E. argentisparsa, Hmpsn. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800—2,500 feet. Taken at light by me at 

 Punkabaree and Fagoo in February, June and September. I have 

 only seen four specimens. The wing3 beyond the postmedial line are 

 more or less irrorated with bluish grey scales ; this extends sometimes 

 over the entire surface of wings. 



3062. E. ocusta, Swinh. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 — 3,000 feet. Occurs rarely in June and 

 July. I have only four specimens taken at light. 



3063c. E. pectinicornis, Dudgeon MS. in Hmpsn. Moth's Ind. IV., 

 p. 549. 



Male with antennae bipectinated and a fovea at the base of the cell 

 on the forewing ; hindwing with the base of the eosta lobed covering the 

 frenulum. 



Grey brown ; vertex of the head white ; wings indistinctly striate 

 throughout. Forewing with an antemedial erect rufous line, some- 

 times indistinct ; a postmedial dark brown line bordered on each side 

 with paler, angled at the costa and below the cell ; a submarginal 

 lunulate dark mark below the apex. Hindwing with antemedial 

 rufous line in continuation of the one on the forewing ; a post- 

 medial rufous line defined by dark brown on the inner side acutely 

 angled at vein 4 ; a whitish marginal line defined on both sides by 

 dark brown ; a rufous streak running up from the tail at vein 4 

 parallel to the postmedial line ; three black spots outlined with rufous 

 between veins 5 and 2. The area of the hindwing between the 

 postmedial line and the outer margin is often suffused with leaden 



grey. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 — 3 ; 000 feet. Twenty-six specimens taken 



at light from May to September. Exp. 25 — 27 mm. 



306 3d. E. rufimargo, Warr. 



Sikhim. It is probable that two specimens which I have in my 



collection under E. bicaudata, Moore, having the whole area on the 



forewing beyond the postmedial line dark brown, may be referable to 



this. The specimens are, however, in not sufficiently good condition to 



determine.
