Sarawak, Borneo. Also from the Nilgiri Hills. 



Sir George Hanipson has put this form as one of the 

 synonyms of the common Indian R/iesala digramma, Walker ; 

 but it is a good form and very constant. I have some tine 

 specimens now from Sarawak, and am able to properly 

 determine it ; the type specimen is old and badly set, and 

 would not bear mucii handling. I have three examples from 

 the Nilgiri Hills; they are slightly larger, but otherwise 

 identical.
