This occurs in the Dehra Doon at the foot of the mountains, 
where the moth is said to be usually found on the Mango tree, but 
it has not yet been ascertained whether the larva feeds upon its 
leaves or not. 
The moth is white, both in wings and body, with a single 
comma-like black mark about the centre of the anterior margin of 
the upper wing and at a little distance from the margin; under- 
side also white, with the comma mark a little less distinct, and on 
the centre of the hinder wing is a very faint indication of a black 
spot; antenne bipectinate, the shaft white, with faint ferruginous 
plumes ; the face and palpi dull yellowish; the two anterior pairs 
of legs each bearing two black spots on the outer edge; expanse 
of wing in a female 1-9; inch. 
Appears in July and August. 
Besides these, I am informed that other Continental species 
have been captured at Darjiling, but to these at present I have no 
access. 
There are likewise two species from Java, noticed by Mr. 
Moore in the second volume of the Lepidoptera contained in the 
India Museum. ‘These are—

Like the species at Mussooree it is said to “ feed upon a species 
of Ficus, bearing the native name of Weringin.” This circum- 
stance seems to point out the species of Ficus as the natural 
food of the genus, and makes me still more inclined to regard the 
Bombyx religiose@ as belonging in reality to Ocinara. 
5. Octnara Lipa, Moore. 
Syn. Ocinara Lida, Moore, Cat. Lep. Ind. Mus. ii. p. 381. 
This is likewise a Javanese species discovered by Dr. Horsfield, 
but nothing is recorded of the larva or its food. The moth is 
described in the above-named publication, and appears to be 
closely allied to my O. Moorez.
