SATYRINJE. 73 



Badulla at an elevation of 3000 feet. Capt. Hutchison states (Lep. Ceylon, 24) that 

 it is " rare, a few specimens only being taken in long grass on borders of coffee- 

 plantations at Buselowe at 3000 feet elevation." Mr. F. M. Mackwood, in his 

 ' Notes,' records it " from 2000 feet upwards, in patenas and small undergrowth 

 adjoining. Most plentiful at Arabegamoa."

DiSTEiBUTiON. — The type specimen described by Capt. Marshall is recorded 

 from the Wynaad. Mr. G. F. Hampson (J. A. S. Beng. 1888, 350) says it is 

 " Common at the North-West corner of the Nilgiris on the Wynaad boundary." 

 Mr. Hampson obtained the wet-season brood on the Nilgiris in September and 

 October. Capt. E. Y. Watson took specimens of the dry-season brood on the 

 Nilgiris, at Devala, in January. Capt. E. Y. Watson also obtained examples of 

 what appear to be the dry-season brood of this species, at Sittang and Toungoo, in 

 Burma, in December and January.
