Genus Ambulyx, "Westw. 

 303. A. suhstrigilis^ Westw. 



Sikhim. A very common and extremely variable species, both in 

 colour and markings. The abdomen may be with or without the 

 olive blotches on the fifth and seventh segments, and in some speci- 

 mens a dorsal line is present. 



104. A. semifervensj Wlk. 



Sikhim. I have not obtained this species. (This is also a variable 

 species, but the subbasal markings, I think, suffice to separate it from 

 the last.— H. J. E.) 



106. A. rubn'cosctj Wlk. 



Sikhim, July. I have only received one pair of this species taken 

 in copula at 3,000 feet. 



107. A.junonia, Butl. 



Bhutan. I have not seen this species which, however, seems to 

 differ from A. rubricosa by the presence of a large ocellus on the 

 famdwing. 



108. A. elwesi^ Druce. 



Sikhim. This must be a very rare species, I have never re- 

 ceived it. 



109. A' phalaris, Cram. 



Sikhim. I have not seen a specimen. (This is a very rare species 

 in Sikhim. What Sir George Hampson identifies with A. phalaris, 

 Oram, [though it is very unlike the plate of that insect, which came 

 from the Coromandel Coast] seems to me more probably a variety of 

 A.bilineata, Wlk., but I cannot tell without seeing the types by which 

 name it ought to be called, — H. J. E.) 



110. A. bilineata, Wlk. 



Sikhim. Occurs in June and August. One female in my collection 

 differs from the rest in having a whitish lunule before the apes of the 

 forewing, the hindwing much darker, and with a crenulate fuscous 

 postmedial line. This specimen expands 175 millimetres. The streak 

 of black hairs on the underside of the forewing below the median 

 nervure is not a sexual character.
