Throughout its immense range, from Korea to Celebes, and 

 from the Bombay Presidency to China, this species seems extraordi- 

 narily stable in its characters and is not divisible into local races. 



It is very common in southern Peninsular Siam (though we 

 did not actually collect specimens in Bandon) and rather less so as 

 one travels northward.
