HETEROCERA OF SIKHIM AND BAUTAN, 407 
Genus Meranasrria, Hiibn. 
905. M. aconyta, Cram. 
Sikhim, Neither Mr. Elwes nor I have seen a specimen from the 
locality. Specimens inthe British Museum are marked N. Bengal. 
906. MW. nanda, Moore. 
Sikhim. Ihave two specimens which I think were taken at Badam- 
tam in September. | 
907. M. latipennis, Wlk. 
Sikhim, 1,830 feet. Ihave taken this at light at Punkabaree in 
March and May. It is marked similarly to some forms of df. ampla, 
WI1k., but the lines on the forewing are more equi-distant. 
908. MM. fulgens, Moore. 
Sikhim and Bhutan, 6,400 feet. I took two specimens of this on 
Rissoom in April and September. Both are males. I have not seen 
afemale. (I took it rarely at Darjeeling in July —ZH. J. E.) 
909. M. lidderdalu, Butl. 
Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 feet up. I have two males and one female 
taken in September and October. (According to Knyvett, one of these 
two, Nos. 909 or 910, feeds on hemp, but I am not sure which, and I 
am strongly inclined to think they are the same species.—H7. J. £.) 
910. MM. ampla, W1k. 
Sikhim and Bhutan, 1,800 to 5,000 feet. The larva, which is 
covered with red hairs, makes an elongate cocoon studded with them 
among the leaves of Artemisza sp. on which it feeds at 5,000 feet at 
Tukvar. The perfect insects appear in September, October and 
November. I have specimens from the Kangra Valley, Punjab, which 
I took in August and September. 
912. M. hyrtaca, Cram. 
Sikhim, 5,000 feet. I have one male of this species taken in 
September. (Bred at Kalimpong, 4,500 feet, from larve which were 
gregarious on the Schima wallichit [fide Knyvett|-—H. J. EF.) 
913. MM. repanda, W1k. 
Sikhim, 1,800 feet. I have four males of a species which may be 
this. The forewing is narrower than that of M. hyrtaca, Cram., two 
pale waved antemedial parallel lines, the exterior greyish-blue, the 
interspace between them filled in with slate colour as far as vein 2;a 
large medial sub-quadrate chocolate patch from the costa to just below
