DiSTEiBDTiON. — "The type specimen is recorded from Sjlhet; the Indian 

 Museum, Calcutta, has specimens from Sibsagar, Upper Assam, and from Sikkim" 

 (Butt, of India, 301). It has been taken at Shillong and the Khasia Hills. " It 

 occurs not uncommonly at Buxa, in Bhotan, in July, but I know of no specimens 

 having been recently taken in Sikkim" (Elwes, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 333). 

 Dr. N. Manders, in his List of the Lepidoptera of the Shan States (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. 1890, 520) records " one male taken at Bernardmyo, a Hill Station at about 

 7000 feet elevation north of the Ruby Mines." Mr. Elwes (P. Z. S. 1891, 271) also 

 records " specimens taken by Mr. W. Doherty in the Naga Hills at low elevations, 

 and others at Bernardmyo in Burma."

 secretes a fluid that gives out a pleasant odour, distinct from, but eo faint as b.arely to be perceptible in the 

 presence of, a much stronger odour (resembling that of sable fresh from the furrier's shop) which is common 

 to the two sexes."
