HETEROCERA OF SJKIIIM AND BHUTAN. 419 



201. M. interrapla, Butl. 

 -Sikhim, 1,800 feet. My only specimen of this was obtained in 

 •'September on a flower bed at dusk. There is a. glossy black patch on 

 ■the base of the forewing. The underside is red-brown, the palpi, 

 .pectus and centre of the first three •abdominal segments are white ; 

 there ave also prominent lateral white tufts on three segments. The 

 'Costa of the hind wing has a black subbasal lobe which is not found 

 In any other of the species. 



Genus Cephnodes, Hibn. 

 205. C. hyla$ : Linn. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan. This species 1 have chiefly seen flying over 

 ■dark poo's of small streams ; it constantly dashes into the water, and 

 will hover over the same placo i'or a whole day I believe. It occurs 

 in July and August. 



Genus Sataspes, Moore. 

 206, S. inferualis. Westw. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan, up to 4,000 feet. This has the same habits as" 

 •C. hylas^ except that the pools of water which it frequents are often 

 open and in the larger rivers. I have only seen it on the wing {w 

 March, but it probably occurs during the rains also. 

 207, S. centralis, But], 

 Sikhim. i have never received this species. Mr. Elwes has several 

 specimens from Sikhim. It is probably local. 



Genus Rhodosoma, Butl. 

 208. K triopus, Westw. 

 Sikhim and Bhutan. I have seen this alive several times on a small 

 •stream called the Jobi-kolah, between Singly and Badamtara. It ha* 

 ihe same habits as C. liyias.
