HETEROCERA OF SIKHIM AND BHUTAN; 249 



46. M. hepatica, Moore. 

 Sikhim. I have not seen this species. (Very rare in Darjeeling. 

 I have a single pair from Moller. The female is much larger than 

 the male.— H. J. E.). 



Genus Andraca, Wlk. 

 47. A. bipunctata, Wlk. 

 Sikhim ; Bhutan, June. I have a pair from the Sip Chu Valley, the 

 male expanding 44 millimetres and the female 60 millimetres. The 

 apex of the forewing in the female is very falcate. The larva is said 

 to feed on tea in Cachar, and to have done much damage, 5,600 lbs. 

 of larvse were destroyed, on one concern in a season. 

 Family EDPTEROTIM], 

 Genus Gangarides, Moore. 

 48. 0. roseuSj Wlk. 

 Sikhim; Bhutan, June. The form dharma seems to me to be 

 separable, but I have not sufficient material to judge fairly. Mr. Elwes 

 evidently thinks the same. 



Genus Palirisa, Wlk. 

 52. P. Uneosa, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 4,000 to 5,000 feet; Bhutan, 3,000 feet. A constant and 

 common species occurring in June and July. The larvse are grega- 

 rious. (Mr. Knyvett notes that this was very common near Buxa 

 in the forest at 2,500 feet, the wings being left by bats in heaps under 

 the trees.— H. J, E.) 



53. P. cervina, Moore. 

 Sikhim {Hampson). I have never seen this species. 

 Genus Tagora, Wlk. 

 54. T.patula, Wlk. 

 Sikhim. I have not procured this species. (I have a single female 

 from Moller which agrees with the Khasia form, but have never seen 

 a male from Sikhim. T. khasiana^ Moore, appears to be distinct from 

 T. patula.—H. J. E.) 



Genus Pseddojana, Hampson. 

 58. P. incandescens % Wlk. 

 Sikhim; Bhutan, 7,000 feet. I have only one male expanding 137 

 millimetres, taken in the Daling hills in June. (Taken by me at 2,000 

 feet near Mongpoo in Junej but seems very rare in Sikhim. — H. J. E.}
