EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
Psychromnestra isoniphas Meyr. 
Kashmir, Gulmarg and Killanmarg, 8800-10,500 feet, July 
(T. B. Fletcher ); 12 ex., both sexes. The forewings have invariably 
a slight but fine azure-blue tinge, not noted in the original 
description from a single somewhat imperfect female. Hr. Fletcher 
writes “ At Gulmarg beaten from Lonicerci orientalis , which is 
evidently the foodplant; in the middle of June I found larvse feeding 
between spun leaves but failed to rear them ; on July 27 I examined 
the spun leaves and found one cocoon with empty pupa, which 
probably belongs to this species. At Killanmarg this was taken 
on hill sides where there were several bushes which appeared to be 
a different species of Lonicera (or near that) ; this was however a 
true bush and not scandent.”
