HETERQCERA OF SIR SIM AND BHUTAN, 245 



valleys in British Bhutan. I have taken miranda, Moore, at Darjeel- 

 ing in August and up to 10,000 feet on Tongloo in July. This form, 

 which agrees with miranda, is larger and with much less distinct 

 markings than the Khasia insect figured as Tcatinka by West wood. 

 There are, however, intermediate specimens, and the females do not 

 seem so distinct as the males. — H. J. E.) 



26. L. newara, Moore. 



Sikhim, 4,000 to 5,000 feet, November. I have reared this species 

 from the egg and the description I took at the time is as follows : — 



Eggs hatched April, 1887, having been laid in December. 



Larvse, when first hatched, are yellow with a black dorsal line and 

 two black tufts of hair on each somite, on the edge of the black 

 line, and near the divisions of the somites ; each somite marked with 

 a black line as far as half-way to the legs, each of these lines termi- 

 nating in a tuft of black hairs. Anterior legs and head black, under- 

 surface yellow. — (15-4-87.) 



1st moult. — Yellow with black lateral lines ; a subdorsal row of black 

 tubercles tipped with blue, each bearing a tuft of black hairs j two 

 lateral rows of yellow tubercles on each somite, except the 1st, 3rd, and 

 11th, on which only one of the yellow tubercles and no subdorsal black 

 tubercles, but dorsal blue ones, are present, all bearing tufts of black 

 hair. There is a small black patch on the anal segment, and a larger 

 one on each of the anal legs. Head and forelegs black. — (23-4-87.) 

 (At this period the larvae are very variable, chiefly in the extent of the 

 black markings, and some have the black tubercles replaced by yellow 

 ones and vice versa.) 



2nd moult. — Same, but with the black markings less prominent. Two 

 more blue tubercles on the last somite, lateral tubercles blue-tipped. — > 

 (1& 2-5-87.) 



3rd moult. — Colour greenish-yellow ; skin rough ; tubercles, except 

 the blue lateral ones, almost entirely disappeared, the remaining ones 

 more resembling warts tipped slightly with blue. No hairs from the 

 subdorsal warts, and only two or three from the lateral tubercles. 

 Three small blue warts just above the prologs, which are hairy. — 

 (13-5-87.) 



UK moult. — Blue lateral specks just apparent. Head grooved in 

 front; Much greener.— (1—5-6-87.)
