Hyperecta enoptrias Meyr. 
Further material sent from Shillong by Mr. T. B. Fletcher shows 
that enoptrias ( $ ) and viridescens ( ) are certainly sexes of the 
same species, for which the name enoptrias must be retained. Mr. 
Fletcher states that it seems to be attached to a broad-leafed Rubus , 
and is fond of dancing and gyrating on the upper surface of the 
leaves in the day-time.
