Hasrrat.—Sikkim (?); Bhotan; Assam; Khasia and Naga Hills; Upper 
Burma. 
Distriution.—“ The type specimen is recorded from Sylhet; the Indian 
Museum, Calcutta, has specimens from Sibsagar, Upper Assam, and from Sikkim” 
(Butt. of India, 301). It has been taken at Shillong and the Khasia Hills. “It 
occurs not uncommonly at Buxa, in Bhotan, in July, but I know of no specimens 
having been recently taken in Sikkim” (Elwes, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 333). 
Dr. N. Manders, in his List of the Lepidoptera of the Shan States (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. 1890, 520) records “one male taken at Bernardmyo, a Hill Station at about 
7000 feet elevation north of the Ruby Mines.” Mr. Elwes (P. Z. 8. 1891, 271) also 
records ‘‘ specimens taken by Mr. W. Doherty in the Naga Hills at low elevations, 
and others at Bernardmyo in Burma.”

* Mr. Wood-Mason (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 1886, 353) remarks that “ this gland, in S. Camadeva, 
secretes a fluid that gives out a pleasant odour, distinct from, but so faint as barely to be perceptible in the 
presence of, a much stronger odour (resembling that of sable fresh from the furrier’s shop) which is common 
to the two sexes.”
