 Burma. In Phayre Museum, Eangoon. 



192. Cricula hurmana, n. sp. 



Marked similarly to C. trifenestrata, and of about the 

 same size, but of a dull reddish brown colour. I have a 

 long series of both sexes, and they are all of the same 

 tone of colour, not one of them having the bright 

 yellowish red colour of C. trifenestrata. The cocoon 

 also is very different ; the cocoon of C. trifenestrata, 

 which is w^ell known, is in a network, full of punctures 

 and transparent, so that the chrysalis in the inside is 

 plainly visible, whereas the cocoon of this insect is solid 

 and thick, and is made of most beautiful continuous silk, 

 which looks marketable. I had a large cluster of them 

 sent to me from the Karen Hills by Mr. Ezechiel, and 

 have some of the moths they produced still in my col- 

 lection.

 Assam.
