Khasia Hills ; many examples. 



Sir George Hampson^s description of the male is from 

 delicata, of the female (whieh differs in many particulars) 

 irom Meyrick's unique type of hesperis from Fiji : unfor- 

 tunately 1 have never seen a female of the former, but such 

 sexual ditl'erences in the sexes are not common in the 

 J'yraustidie, and I do not think it is probaljle, considering 

 the immense distances apart of the localities, that they can 

 belong to the same species ; neither do I think it is reason- 

 able to sink a common local s[)eeies from the Khasia Hills 

 to a form from the South Pacific ou such slender and 

 unsatisfactory evidence.
