A CATALOGUE OP THE BETEROCERA OF SIKHlM. 349 



1286. C. hiama, Wlk. 

 Sikhim, 1,800 feet. Rarely taken. I cannot distinguish the female* 

 The two-spotted female, which has been identified by Mr. Moore as 

 this species, I have proved by breeding to belong to C, coccinea, Moore. 

 (I have four females, of which three by their smaller size and paler 

 colour of the hindwings seem to belong to this species rather than to 

 C. coccinea.— 'H. J. E.) 



1296. C. gelida, Wlk. 



■ Sikhim, 1,800 feet up. This occurs, but not commonly, in September 



and November. I have also taken it in the Kangra Valley. (There 



were many specimens in Moller's collection, dated March. 1 never took 



it myself.— iJ. J. E.)
