Genus Trilochana, Moore.

remarks that there is no locality on the type speoimen in ooUection 



Atkinson, and it may not be from Sikhim. 



Genus Sciapteron, Staudgr. 

 355. S. atkinsoni, Moore. 

 Sikhim. This has never been brought to me. (Taken by me near 

 Darjeeling in July. A specimen from Moller's collection was procured 

 in the Terai in June. — H. J. E.) 



357. S. sikkima, Moore. 

 Sikhim. Neither Mr. Elwes or I have seen a specimen, the type of 

 which is in Dr, Staudinger's collection. 



Genus Sesia, Fabr.

 Sikhun, 5,500 feet. I have one specimen which I took at Tukvar on 

 the 21st August. 



373. S. Jlava, Moore. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, 2,500 feet. I have two specimens taken in May, 

 they, however, do not correspond exactly with the description given. 

 The antennae are blue-black ; no yellow on vertex of thorax ; abdomen 

 deep blue-black, with segmental yellow bands j anal tuft yellow and blue- 

 black ; frons pure white ; apex of the forewiug broadly yellow, also the 

 outer edge of the disco-cellular bar. E.vjy. 19 millim. 

 Genus Melittia, Wlk. 

 387. M. earytion^ Westw. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, up to 4,000 feet. Common ; affects ordure and 

 is often found on decaying animal matter. It occurs in July and 



August.
