HETEROCERA OF SIKH IM AND BHUTAN. 270 



the innor half of the forewing in sodalis is the only distinguishing mark I 

 can see in some of the redder forms of the latter species. My specimens 

 are all marked May. (I have two specimens from Sikhim and one from 

 the Khasias which agree with the type of Hadena constellata, Moore 

 placed by Hampson as a synonym of this. — H. J. E.) 



1717. E. sodalis, Butl. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 3,000 feet up. A very common insect occurring 

 in May and June. 



1717a. E. oxydata, Hmpsn. 

 Sikhim, 7,000 feet. I do not know this. (Sikhim, Pilcher in B. M. 

 — G. F.H.) 



1795a. E. pyroxantha, Hmpsn. 



Yatung. This will probably be found on this side of the passes also. 

 Sir Geo. Hampson thinks that the position of the insect is better in this 

 genus. It was originally described as a Polia. 



1721. E. conducta. Wlk. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-2,500 feet. This is a common species oc- 

 curring in May, June, August and September. The form galaxia, Butl., 

 is rarer and I have only taken it at 4,500 feet in Sikhim and in the 

 Kangra Valley. Apart from the difference in the ground colour of this 

 latter form from typical conducta the reniform which is formed of dis- 

 tinct white spots in a cluster is much further from the postmedial line. 

 It seems to me to be distinct, but my series is not long enough to 

 determine. 



1722. E. albhnaculata, Moore. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 2,000-5,000 feet. Not uncommon in May, 

 June, August and September, attracted to light. (I took it at Darjeel- 

 ing at light. — H.J.E.) 



1723. E. leucospila, Wlk. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-7,000 feet. This species has apparently a 

 greater range in elevation than the last, but I have not taken it so 

 frequently. (I took this at Darjeeling and have it also from Manipur. 

 — H.J.E.) 



1724. E. albirena, Moore. 



Sikhim. I have only one specimen with no elevation recorded. 

 (Four specimens from Moller's collection, of which one is dated 21st 

 October 1888, probably from low elevation. — H.J.E.)
