catalogue of the PyraUdina of Sikkim. 569 



34. Cerasphora variegata. 



Scopocera variegata, Moore, Descr. Indian Lep., Atk., 

 p. 203, pi. 7, f. 4. 



A female. 



This species belongs to the same genus as Cerasphora 

 (Craneophora, olim.) Ficki, Christ., Bull, de Moscou, 

 1881, p. 1. It is larger, and the second fascia of fore 

 wings more flexuous. Mr. Christoph altered the name 

 because he found the similitude with Craniophora, 

 Snellen, Vlind. van Nederland. Macrol., p. 262, a genus 

 of Noctuina, too great. 



[Genus Saeama, Moore, Desc. Atk., p. 203. 

 35. Sarama Atkinsoni, Moore, I. c., p. 204. 

 From Darjeeling, in the collections of Mr. Moore and 

 Dr. Staudinger.— H. J. E.] 



Genus Endotricha, ZelL, Isis. 1847, p. 592 ; Led., 

 p. 344. 



36. Endotricha Jiammealis* 



Pyralis flammealis, Wien. Verz., p. 123; Hiibn., Pyr., 

 f. 99 ; Wood, f. 782. 



The specimens are darker coloured than the bulk of 

 the European, but I do not perceive any other difference. 

 Time of appearance the same as in North-west Europe.

Endotricha costamacidalis, Christoph, Bull, de Moscow, 

 1881, i., p. 4 ; Neue Lep. Amur., p. 92. 



Darjeeling, July ; H. J. Elwes. 



[Described from Vladivostock and the Island of Askold. 

 Seems rare in Sikkim. — H. J. E.J 



[* Doththa similata, Moore, Descr. Atk., p. 206, of which I 

 have compared the type, is identical with this form. Specimens 

 from Japan and Dharmsala in the British Museum also agree. —
