f,°2: 
Observed once only, in September, in a richly wooded Himalayan 
glen, full of horse-chestnut, maple, sycamore, oak, and rhododen- 
dron, through which fell, in numerous little cascades, a clear stream, 
bordered with bushes (Rubus, &c.) and an undergrowth of grasses, 
ferns, &c.—quite a different country to that of the preceding, I 
passed this glen once in September. In former or subsequent months 
I never saw this insect there ; it appears therefore to have but one 
short-lived, autumnal brood. The insects were pretty numerous, 
seated on tall Umbelliferze, and flitting from plant to plant with short 
quick flights, in an open glade in the glen, close to the stream.
