that they seem fairly nearly allied, though. All my specimens of M. venosa 

 have a black spot on the tegulse which is not found in D. flavens. I 

 consider that the species requires re-examination. Sir George Hampson 

 remarks that the two specimens from me in British Museum, both males, 

 have only got terminal spurs to hind tibise. (I have only two specimens 

 from Sikhim so named by Sir George Hampson. They are not like 

 Moore's figure, however, being black without markings, but too much 

 worn to describe properly ; they might be a melanic variety of fiavens^ 

 Moore.— H. J. E.) 



Genus Diacrisia, Hlibn, 

 1189. D. nigrifrons, Wlk. 



Sikhim, 4,500 — 7,000 feet. This species is common at light in Darjeel- 

 ing in July, August, and September. It is conspicuous by the front of 

 the thorax being tufted with bright orange, whereas the remainder is pure 

 white. 



1199. D, rJiodophila, Wlk. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 2,500 — 3,000 feet. Kather scarce in May and 

 June. Taken at light at Fagoo. (Commoner in the Nagas at higher 

 elevation than in Sikhim, where I never took it at Darjeeling. Moller 

 got it in May.— /7. J. E.) 



1188. D. multivittata, Moore. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 2,500 feet up. Common in April, May, and July- 

 Some specimens are without a trace of the dark markings on the forewing^ 

 (I took it at Darjeeling at light in August. — H. J. E.) 

 1200. D. melanosoma, Hmpsn. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, .3,000 feei This is apparently a rare species, which 

 I have only taken at light in May. It is easily distinguished from the 

 other white species of the genus by the abdomen being banded with 

 black. My only example, a female, has the terminal segment orange. (I 

 have three specimens from MoUer's collection, one of which was taken on 

 April 18th. --Fi. J. E.) 



1163. D. punctata, Moore. 



Sildiim. I do not recognise this insect from the description. The 

 record is uncertain. 



1192. D. ohUquivitta, Moore. 



Sikhim and Bhutan, 3,000 feet. This occurs rarely in May and 

 Octo1;er attracted to light. (I have this only from Knyvett's collection, 

 and I biieve he took it at Darjeeling, — H. J. E.)
