Family LIMACODIDZ. 
Genus ScopELoDEs, Westw. 
817. 8S. venosa, Wk. 
Sikhim and Bhutan up to 5,000 feet. A very common species 
attracted to light. It is found in April, May, August, September and 
October, but I have no females in my collection. (The forms wrszna, 
Butl., and testacea, Butl., both of which occur in Sikhim, seem to me to 
be sufficiently distinct—H. J. £.) 
818. 3S. sericea, Buitl. 
Sikhim, 3,000 feet. I have only one which isa female. The wings 
are uniform ochreous and of a silky transversely ribbed form. (The 
silky corrugation of the forewings is either not constant, or [ have two 
species under this name.—Z. J. EL.) 
819. S. unzcolor, Westw. 
Sikhim, 1,800 to 3,000 feet. Ihave no doubt that this occurs in 
Bhutan also, but all my specimens are from Sikhim, It is easily recog- 
nizable from the last two species in being smaller, with the forewing, 
thorax, and palpi red-brown, and the hindwing yellow. It has a habit 
of sitting on twigs with the head and thorax elevated and the wings 
folded, and in this position it resembles a velvety brown leaf bud and is 
very inconspicuous. My specimens were obtained in May, August 
and September. (My specimens named by Hampson average as large 
as those of S, sericea and 8. venosa.—H. J. E.) 
820. S. contracta, W1k. 
Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 to 5,000 feet. The male has both wings 
grey-brown with the inner margin of the hindwing yellowish. The 
female which Ihave taken with the male has the forewing pale reddish-
