HETEROCERA OF SIKHIM AND BHUTAN. 285 



Genus Acronycta, Ochs. 

 1813. A. ancedina, Butl. 

 Sikhim, 6,800 feet. I have only one example taken at the electric 

 lamps in Darjeeling in June. 



1816. A. sinens, Wlk. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-3,000 feet. I have four specimens, three 

 of which I took at Punkabaree in July, August and October and the 

 other at Fagoo in August. The male differs from the female in 

 having the forewing slightly more prolonged and the hindwing reduced 

 in area, vein 4 being more nearly approximated to 6 and forming a 

 slight fold between them. (I have one only from Moller's collection.

1819. A. denticulata, Moore. 

 Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I took one female at Punkabaree in July. This 

 sex differs from the male in the hindwing being completely suffused 

 with brown. My specimen otherwise exactly corresponds with Butler's 

 figure in 111. Het. vii, pi. 125, fig. 8. 



1822. A.fasciata, Moore. 



Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I took one example at light at Punkabaree in 

 July. My specimen is a female and corresponds fairly well with 

 Butler's figure of " Hyboma divisa, Moore" in 111. Het. vii, pi. 125, 

 fig. 7. 



1823. A. obliqua, Moore. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-3,000 feet. This is the commonest species 

 of the genus which I have taken within these limits. My specimens as 

 present in my collection were taken by me at light at Punkabaree and 

 Fagoo in May, June, July and August. The dark fascia on the fore- 

 wing from the middle of the costa through the reniform to the centre of 

 the inner margin distinguish it from any other Acronycta I have seen. 



Genus Toxocampa, Guen. 



1826. T. dorsigera, Wlk. 



Sikhim. (I have a specimen from a high elevation on the Nepal 

 frontier which I cannot distinguish from those from the Khasias and 

 Burmah. — //. J. E.) 



Genus Conservula, Grote. 



1827. C. indica, Moore. 



Sikhim. I have only taken this twice in Sikhim. My specimens 

 are unfortunately without date or elevation. I took a specimen also in
