In the above table a fair amount of latitude must be allowed for, 

 as it is only intended as a rough grouping of species on comparatively 

 easy characters. If a more critical table be attempted, other and more 

 important characters would be adopted. For easy reference it may, 

 however, prove useful if the terms used are not construed too literally. 



Eriocera aurantia, sp. nov. 



$. Darjiling. Long. 12 mm. 



Whole body rich deep orange except tip of proboscis brownish and 

 palpi black ; flagellum of antennae brown with pale pubescence ; frons

 stems yellowish, clubs black. 



Described from two $ 9 "^ the Indian Museum from Kalimpong, 

 600-4,500 ft., 24-iv — lO-v-14 (Gravely). What is probably an immature 

 (^ of this species is represented by a specimen from Darjiling, 7,000 ft 

 12-vi-14 (Gravely).
