In Formosa it was first collected by Swinhoe, who found it at 

 Takow, no less than seven specimens from him being in British 

 Museum. Both the Hamburg and the Senckenbergian Museum, in 

 Frankfort on the Main, have specimens from south Formosa, the 

 former (No. 1541) through Doctor Warburg, the latter through 

 Schmacker. Mr. Tada, who collected in Formosa for the Japanese 

 Government in 1896 and 1897, brought four specimens from Taihoku 

 (Taipa), and stated that it is common, especially in northern Formosa.
