HETEROCERA OF SIKHIM AND BHUTAN. 35 



Male with branches of antenna) long ; but, as Mr. Elwes was inclined 

 to donbt the correctness of my identification, I sent a specimen of each 

 of my species of Spatalia to Sir George llampson, who agrees with me 

 that my identification and division are correct, and says that females 

 only were available when he had the species under examination. It 

 occurs in May and July. 



310. S. argentata.^ Moore. 

 Sikhim. I do not know this species. (Not uncommon in Darjeeling 

 in July.—//. J. E.) 



311. S, cdhifasciata, Hmpsn. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 and 3,000 feet. Two specimens only 

 have been taken by mo in Se])tember and October, both at light. It 

 was origiually described from the Nilgiris. 



312. S. auritractata^ Moore. 

 Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I have only one specimen, which I took at light in 

 May. It is slightly greyer than S. argentifera^ Wlk., and except for the 

 form of the antennae is otherwise indistinguishable. (I have never taken 

 it myself, but it seems to be not uncommon at low elevations. — 

 H. J. E.) 



313. S. plusioides, Moore. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 2,500 to 3,000 feet. This is rather a variable 

 species. I have a male from Sikhim with the triangular silver spot in 

 the cell represented by a white outline only ; two females from Sikhim 

 and Bhutan have no marginal series of white specks, and the patagia 

 are yellow. 



The sectional division of the genus should stand as under : — 

 Section I. — Antennse of male with the branches short, with a fascicle 

 of cilia at the end of each branch. 



S. argent/fern, Wlk. 

 <S. gemm/feraj Moore. 

 S. argentata^ Moore. 

 Section II. — Antennae of males with branches long, with no fascicles 

 of cilia at their ends. 



S. costalt's. Moore. 

 S, albifasciata, Hmpsn. 

 S. auritractata, Moore.
