As noted elsewhere, (p. 18) the moth is rarely met with in the 
field in spite of its abundance, and it is therefore not surprising to find 
that specimens, other than bred individuals, are rare in collections in 
India. I am indebted to the following gentlemen for records of speci¬ 
mens of Hypsipyla robusta in their collections :—The Director of the 
Zoological Survey, Calcutta, the Imperial Entomologist, Pusa, Mr. 0.
