. British journal of entomology and natural history. Natural history; Entomology. BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 7: 1994. Fig. 5. Kent Li and Paul Waring collecting moths at night at lights of a public lavatory at Tai Po Kau woodlands. Cechenena aegrota (Butler, 1875) Although the flight season of C. aegrota was obviously well underway at the Tai Po Kau woodlands during the whole of our stay, it was interestng that it was not seen at any of the other sites except nearby Hong Lok Yuen. Tennent (1992) recorded it at seven widely scattered sites from the Sai Kung peninsula in the east to Lantau island in the west but our total of 27 in two nights is almost equal to his total of 33 for Tai Po Kau in 27 nights over an 18 month period. This suggests that our visit coincided with the peak emergence of this species. K. L. has collected adults in April and July at Tai Po Kau, Hok Tau and Sai Kung Country Park. He found two eggs and two larvae in the woodlands at Tai Po Kau on wild coffee, Psychotria rubra Poir. (Rubiaceae), a common shrub which grows in shade on forest margins and paths at this site.
