Sub-family HADENIM. 

 Genus Glottula, Guen. 

 1556. G. dominica, Cram. 

 Sikhim, 5,000 feet ; Bhutan, 1,000 feet. This species has an exten- 

 sive range. I reared it from larvae taken at Tukvar feeding within the 

 stalks of Crinum in August and captured it at light in the Buxar Dooars 

 in March. I have also a specimen from Kanara in South- West India. 

 The male has the hindwing pure white, with the exception of the apical 

 portion of the costa, which is shaded with dark-brownish. The female 

 has the hindwing suffused with brownish darkest towards the outer 

 margin. The larva is described in the Moths of India. (My only 

 specimen was reared by Mr. Dudgeon, dated 31st July 1888, but I have 

 taken it in the Khasias in September. — H. J. E.) 



Genus Polytela, Guen. 

 1588. P. gloriosce, Fabr. 



Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I took a number of larva? at Punkabaree feeding 

 upon Amaryllis and Lilium. They bore into the flower stems and tunnel 

 until the same begin to wither, when they attack new ones ; they also feed 

 on the leaves. The perfect insect emerges in June, July and August 

 from pupa? formed underground. The larva is described in the Moths 

 of India. (I never saw this insect myself and neither Moller or Knyvett 

 had it. It is probably confined to the Terai. — 11. J. E.) 



Genus Akcilasisa, Wlk. 

 1939. A. sobrm, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 4,500 feet. I have only one specimen which I took at 

 Kurseong in October. (I have only one from Mailer's collection ; it 

 must be rare in Sikhim. — H. J. E.) 



1940. A. plagiata, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 1,800-6,500 feet. I have taken this upon four occasions at 

 Punkabaree and Darjeeling in June and August. It seems to be rare 

 in these localities. (I never took this myself though I have it from 

 Moller's collection.— #. J. E.) 



Genus Hadena, Schrank. 

 1679. II. consanguis, Guen. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,000 feel up. I have taken this in January, 



March, April, May and November, but never during the monsoon. It
