 edge of the band is toothed, is Cramhus argyroptera,

[Note. — This paper was written by Mr. Snellen on the 

 collections made by the late Otto Moller and myself in 

 Sikkim, and forms the second part of the Catalogue of 

 the Lepidoptera of Sikkim, which I commenced in 1887, 

 and of which the first part was published in Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond., 1888. 



I can add but little to the remarks which I then made ; 

 but, owing to the untimely death of Mr. Moller, I am 

 unable to give full particulars of the localities and 

 seasons of the specimens in his collection, of which a 

 set is now preserved in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 

 It may be said, however, that they were mostly collected 

 by natives at low elevations in the valleys of the Great 

 and Little Kangit rivers, near Darjeeling, and many of 

 the species found at these low elevations have an 

 extremely wide distribution in India and the tropics. 



The species which occur only at higher elevations are 

 not so wide-ranging as a rule, and but very few species 

 are as yet known to occur as high as 10,000 ft. 



Mr. Snellen has had great difficuly in identifying 

 many of Walker's and Moore's descriptions, but I have, 

 with the kind assistance of Mr. Warren, who has recently 

 arranged the Pyralidce of the British Museum, checked
