Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan ; Assam; Naga and Khasia Hills ; Cachar ; Lushai 

 Hills ; Burma. 



Distribution. — " This is a rare species. It occurs in Sikkim and Bhotan. Mr. 

 S. E. Peal has taken it at Sibsagar in Upper Assam. It also occurs in the Naga 

 Hills" (de Niceville, Butt. India, ii. 220). " Very rare in Sikkim, probably found 

 at low elevations throughout the summer" {id. Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 144). 

 Specimens from Sikkim, taken iu July by Mr. Otto Moller, are in Mr. Walter 

 Rothschild's collection. Colonel Swinhoe records it from the Khasia Hills (Tr. 

 Ent. Soc. 1893, 286). Mr. Wood-Mason obtained a single female on " Nemotha Peak, 

 Cachar, in September " (J. A. S. Beug. 1887, 361). A si^ecimen from the Lushai 

 Hills is in Mr. P. Crowley's collection, and Colonel C. H. B. Adamson took it in 

 Burma. It probably also occurs in Tenasserim. Specimens from the Malay 

 Peninsula* are iu our own Collection, and also in that of the British Museum, also 

 from Borneo. It has been taken in " N.E. Sumatra by Dr. Hageu and Dr. J. 

 Martin" (J. A. S. Beng. 1895,425).
