 Mr. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. II. 278) records it from " Sikkim (where it is less 

 common than E. Athamas), Sylhet, Jorehat, Sibsagar, Chittagong, and Upper 

 Tenasserim." We have verified specimens with Folder's type, from the following 

 localities, namely, Sikkim, taken in March and October by Mr. Otto Moller, now in 

 Mr. W. Rothschild's collection; Buxa, Bhotan, taken by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon; 

 Khasia Hills, in Colonel C. Swinhoe's and my own collection ; Shillong, Assam, 

 Lushai Hills, and Karen Hills, in Mr. P. Crowley's collection; Tilin Yaw, Burma, 

 taken by Lieutenant E. Y. Watson in November and December (J. Bombay, N. H. S. 

 1891, 42) ; Toungoo, Rangoon, in May, and Malawoon, Tenasserim, taken by Signer 

 Leonardo Fea in August, in our own collection. Dr. N. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 

 1890, 526) says it is " quite as common as E. Athamas in the Shan States, and is 

 found in the same localities."
