HETEROCERA OF SIKHIM AND BHUTAN. G40 



I have however seen it alive at Rissoom, 6,400 feet. (Taken at 

 Tongioo in July— ^. J. E.) 



Family DREPANULID^. 



Genus Euchera, Hiibn. 

 696. E. suhstigmarla, Hiibn. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan. It is found from the plains' level up to 3,000 

 leet, and is a most conspicuous object, setting with outspread wmgs on 

 the under surface of a leaf or on the upper surface in the shade ; it is 

 easily disturbed. It is not often attracted to light. The larvae are 

 velvety black, with the under surface greyish-white ; there is a sublateral 

 white line and a lateral row of quadrate elongated yellow and white 

 streaks throughout. It is found in May, June, October and November, 

 in the perfect stage. (Taken at Mongpoo, 3,000 feet, in June — H, 

 J. E.) 



697. E. rectijicata, Wlk. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan. I took several hundreds of this at Rissoom, 

 6,400 feet, in August, attracted to light, and indeed had great difficulty 

 in preventing them putting my lamp out. Both this and the last species 

 have a most disagreeable smell, caused by a scent gland on the 

 underside of the 1st abdominal segment, the scent of which is diffused 

 by a long fan-like brush which is constantly being expanded. I have 

 also taken specimens at 2,500 feet and 5,500 feet. (One of the com- 

 monest moths at light at Darjeeling. I have pIso taken it on the top of 

 Tongioo. I should not have called the scent of the insect disagreeable.

Genus Macrocilix, Butl. 



699. M. myaticata, Wlk. 

 Sikhim. 1 have only one specimen of this in my collection, which I 

 believe was obtained in Darjeeling station. (I found this not uncommon 

 in July and August at Darjeeling and have specimens from Moller 

 dated April.— ^. J. E.) 



700. M. orblferata, Wlk. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan. I took this on one occasion but have never seen 

 another specimen ; mine is now in the British Museum. (I have specimens 

 taken at Darjeeling in May, and in Bhutan in September by Moller's 

 collectors. It occurs also in the Khasia Hills in October, coll. 

 Atkinson.—^. J. E.)
