Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,000 feet. I took a single male at the foot of 



the Baling hills in Bhutan in July, and I have a female from Sikhim 



without indication of elevation or date of capture. The antennae of the 



female have the club nmch longer and more gradual than in the male. 



Its flight is mueh slower than Melittia^ but it has the same habit of 



rubbing the hindlegs together when flying ; I do not know, however, 



that it affects ordure in the same way.
