Part IV. 

 (^Contimied from page 634 of Vol. XT.) 



Genus Notodonta, Ochsen. 



289. N. albifasciaj Moore. 



Sikhini. I have only two specimens. (Taken by me at Darjeeling in 

 July at light.—//. J. E.) 



290. A\ (jlgantea, Elwes. 



Sikhim, 6,800 feet. I have one specimen. It has a wide range, 

 apparently having been found in Kulu and also in the Klusia Hills, 

 (The only specimen I ever saw from Sikhini was the type, a female, 

 which I took at light on the 26th of August in Darjeeling. (Since then 

 I have received the undescribed male from the Khasia Hills. These 

 specimens are smaller, 85 mm., in expanse, have the hindwing much 

 paler, and the pectinations of the antennse extending for two-thirds 

 the length only. — H. J. E.) 



291. N, mooi'eij Hmpsn. 



Sikhim. This was taken by Mr. Knyvett in May according to Mr. 

 Elwes. I have one specimen, taken in Darjeeling in July at light, 

 292. N. sikhima, Moore. 

 Sikhim, 10,000 to 12,000 feet. I have a specimen, taken at Lingtu 

 by my collectors. The antenna of the male has the branches stiff, with 

 fascicles of cilia at the end of each branch. This type of antenna is 

 also found in Fentonia apicalis^ Moore, Antheua servula, Drury, Spatalia 

 argentifera, Wlk., and Hyperceschra tenehrosa, Moore (in the latter very 

 slightly). It is very distinct from the ordinary pectinate form. Mr. 

 Elwes has taken this species at light on Tongloo, 10,000 feet, in July. 

 Genus Hyper^schra, Butl. 

 294. H. pallida, Butl. 

 Sikhim. I have only one specimen, which is a female. The antenna3 

 have the branches long.
