colour, the cross-veins are deeply but narrowly iufuscated, as is 

 ■also the 5th longitudinal vein ; the pi'oximal two-thirds of the

 line Avith the posterior cross-vein ; the distal part of the wing is light

 vein and a little below it, leaving a nearly clear oval spot touching 

 the costa, at the tip of the 2iid longitudinal and extending down-

clear parts of the wing more extended, but they apparently belong 

 to the same species. 



Of the three s])ec\eH(li. fenestraJls, distinctas, and divlsm) taken 

 by Mr. Paiva at Darjiling in August 1909, he says that some 

 were taken on windows and others along the roads of the town, 

 where they were hovering in small s^-arms under the shade of 

 the trees, but it would be impossible to say now whether all 

 the species occurred in both habitats or not, as at the time of 

 collecting identification was impracticable.
