Genus Sesamia, Guen. 

 1798a. S. fumea, Hmpsn. 

 Sikhim, 1,800 feet. The type of this was taken by me at Pankabaree, 

 1 have not seen another. This species, which was originally placed in 

 the genus Polia, Sir Goo. Hampson now refers to Sesamia, Guen. 



Genus Sphetta, Wlk. 

 1585. S. apkalis, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 3,000 feet. I have taken this at Vah on the Tukvar spur 

 and bred others from larva? taken at the same elevation. The dates on 

 my specimens are May, June and August. The expanse of my specimens 

 is greater than that recorded in Moths of India, being 47 millim. $ 

 and 53-59 millim. $ . 



Genus Amphipyra, Ochs. 

 1655. A. monolitha, Guen. 

 Sikhim. I have this from the Kangra Valley, but never saw a speci- 

 men from Sikhim or Bhutan. (Not in B. M. from Sikhim — G.F.H.) 

 (I doubt its occurrence in Sikhim — H. J. E.) 



1658. A. cupreipennis, Moore. 

 Sikhim. This also I have not seen (Sikhim in B. M. — G.F.H.) 



Genus Euplexia, Steph. 

 1711. E. nuhllata, Hmpsn. 

 Sikhim. Taken by Moller at 6,000 feet. I have no specimens. (Twa- 

 in my collection without exact locality. — II. J. E.) 



1712. E. indislans, Guen. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-4,000 feet. I cannot separate this from 

 the next when trying to identify females. The only feature which is 

 <lifferent in the male is the ferruginous suffusion present in indistans, but 

 I have a specimen of niveiplaga with the white patch on the reniform 

 which is distinctly reddish on the underside. My specimens were taken 

 in April, May, July and September. (Either species may have the 

 white patch on reniform. — G.F.H.) 



1713. E. niveiplaga, Wlk. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, up to 5,000 feet. All the forms of this are ap- 

 parently equally common. I have taken it in May, June, August, Sep- 

 tember, October and November. 



1715. E. fidvistigma, Moore. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800-6,000 feet. I also think that this species and 

 the next will eventually lie found to be one. The darker suffusion of
