Family PSYCHID^. 



Sub-Family (ECETICIN^. 



Gemis Clania, Wlk. 



617. C. cmmerij Westw. 



Sikhim, 1,800 feet. 1 took several hundreds of pupgs and larvse 

 from China tea bushes on the Punkabaree Estate in November, and 

 obtained 25 perfect males from them. As soon as the insects have 

 fully developed their wings they batter themselves to pieces iu a very 

 short time. The larva forms a case of the small twigs taken from the 

 tea bushes, and feeds on the Lard leaves and bark. The latter seems 

 to be eaten as much as the former. My specimens emerged in 

 January, February and March. 



618. C, variegata, Snell. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,000 to 3,000 feet. I took quantities of larvae 

 of this species at Badamtam in the sal forests, on the leaves of which I 

 found it feeding. I afterwards took it sparingly on tea, especially 

 Assam and Manipuri plants. I gave its life history in a paper published 

 in the Indian Museum Notes, in which it was named for me by Mr. 

 Moore as Ewwefa 52Mm^, Moore (sunk as a synonym by Hampson). The 

 larvae are not found in quantities together as are those of C. crarneri, 

 Westw. The specimens in my collection were taken or emeroed in 

 February, March and September. I have only once obtained it at 

 light. 



Genus Amatissa, Wlk. 



619. A. consorta^ Tempi. 



Bhutan, 2,500 feet. I reared one female taken as a pupa 

 in August, and placed it on a tree-trunk not far from my 

 house, visiting it every ten minutes. In half-an-hour I had taken 

 two males from it, one, unfortunately, having been there too lono- -. the
