numerous specimens at " Silcui'i in Cacliar in the summer months." Major C. H. E. 

 Adamson (List of Burmese Butt. 16, 1 889) says, " It is common throughout Burma, 

 appearing at all seasons of the year, and is a very rapid flyer from tree to tree." 

 It has been taken in Chittagong in October. Dr. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 

 623) records it as " common in the Shan States, Burma, at the end of the rains, and 

 occurs from 3000 to 8000 feet elevation." Signor Leonardo Fea took it in Rangoon, 

 in December, and in the Karen Hills in November. Mr. 0. Limborg took it " above 

 Ahsown; Taoo, at 3000 to 5000 feet in Upper Teuasserim " (P. Z. S. 187S, 829). 

 Capt. E. Y. Watson also found it not uncommon at Rangoon and Beeling. Capt. 

 Bingham obtained it at Minthantoung in December, and also in the Donat Range 

 and Thoungyeen forests in Upper Tenasserim. Dr. J. Anderson obtained it at 

 " Minthantoung in December, and on Sullivan Island, Mergui Archipelago, in 

 January" (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 35).
