NoTK. — The above descriptions are taken from the type male, now in Mr. H. 

 Grose-Smith's collection, and from a female in our own possession. 



Distribution. — "We have verified a male and female in Colonel C. H. E. 

 Adamson's collection, taken in " Burma, where it is a common insect on hilly 

 ground throughout the rains. Specimens from the South have, as a rule, less orange 

 than those from further North " (List of Burm. Butt. p. 23). A female, taken by 

 Colonel C. T. Bingham in the Yunzalee Valley, in April, is in the British Museum 

 Collection. A female from the Shan States is in our own collection. Mr. Otto 

 Limborg obtained both sexes at Ponsekai, in Tavoy (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 423). A 

 male and female, from Hong Kong, is in Mr. P. Crowley's collection. We have 

 verified specimens of both sexes of this species, taken in Hong Kong by Mr. J. J. 

 Walker, who refers to them as " Nefte " (Tr. Ent, Soc. 189.5, 456), as being " not 

 uncommon from December to May, a fresh brood appearing at the end of March."
