THE BUTTERFLIES OF MUSSOORIE. 599 



291. Aeeomachus stigmata, Moore. 

 Very common in Mussoorie, from whence it was originally 

 described, in May, June and August. 



292., Pedestes masueiensis, Moore. 

 Not common in Mussoorie in June and July, from whence it was 

 originally described as its name shows. 



293. Hyaeotis adeastus, Cramer. 

 Rare in the Eastern Dun in April and June. 



294. Matapa aria, Moore. 

 A single specimen taken in the Dun in May. 



295. Eeionota thrax, Linnaeus. 

 Very common in the Dun. There are two broods — one in April, 

 the other in August and September. The larva feeds on cultivated 

 plantains, Musa sapientum, L., Natural Order Micsacece, and a single 

 larva will devour all the leaf on one side up to the mid-rib, the leaf 

 being seven or eight feet long, and the portion eaten half a foot wide, 

 which seems out of all proportion to its size. The head of the larva is 

 much smaller than the body, and is black ; the body is covered with 

 a white powdery wavy substance, as also is- the pupa, which is 

 placed in a portion of a rolled-up leaf. 



296. Notoceypta feisthamelii, Boisduval. Plate W, Fig. 28, larva. 

 Common in Mussoorie from April to September. The larva feeds 

 on a species of wild ginger, Bedychium spicatum, Ham., Natural Order 

 Scitaminece. 



297. Notoceypta restricta, Moore. 

 Found commonly in the Aglar Valley below M'ussoorie in May. 

 Given by Messrs. EJwesand Edwards as a synonym of the last species. 

 298. Udaspes folus, Cramer. 

 Common in Mussoorie from May to September, occurs in the Dun 

 in March and April. The female has been observed ovipositing on a 

 broad-leaf species of grass, Natural Order Graminece. 



299. Actinor radians, Moore. 



Four specimens in all taken in the Dun in April in 1895 and 1897, 

 two on each occasion.
