 descriptions and figures are now taken. We also possess a female from Travancore. 

 Both sexes have also been " taken by Mr. H. S. Fergusson in the Ashamboo Hills, 

 Travancore " (Butt, of India, 297). Capt. B. Y. "Watson also obtained a single 

 female at Kathlekan, Kadur District, Mysore, in November, which is now in the 

 British Museum Collection. In Ceylon, it was taken by the late Dr. Thwaites, and 

 from whose original drawings the female in " Lepidoptera of Ceylon," pi. ] 8,

 Galle in July, where it is very rare " (Lep. Ceylon, i. 36). Mr. F. M. Mackwood, in 

 his MS. Notes, says " one specimen only taken ; caught in Ambegamoa."
