The best-known and most widely spread s|)ecies of the 

 genus. It has been taken throughout Indo-China (Tonkin, 

 Anuam, Laos, and Caml)odia) by M-r. Vitalis de Salvaza, 

 lUsewhere it occurs in Formosa, in the large ]Malay islands, 

 in Burma, and throughout North India. I have seen no 

 Central or Southern Indian examples, excei)t from the Nilgiri 

 Hills {H. L. Andrewes). There is in the British Museum 

 an example taken at Auuradhapura iu Ceylon i^Dr. IV.

 This species is recorded from various parts of Coehin- 

 Chiua and Cambodia, and, thanks to Mr. E. Fleutiaux, I 

 have been able to examine the type ; Mr. Vitalis de Salvaza 

 lias taketi it at Vientiane in Laos. Bates mentions it as 

 having been captured by Mr. L. Fea at Rangoon, and the 

 late Mr. G. Q. Corbett also found it in Burma at Shwegyin 

 and Tharrawaddy. There are specimens in the British 

 Museum from " Alountains, Tenasserimj Siam border " and 

 from South Siam (//. Way).
