 Rare. One specimen taken in Bhamo in August : it returned three times to the 

 spot where it was first disturbed before it was captured " (List, p. 16). 



It also occurs in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra — where, as observed by 

 Dr. L. Martin (J. A. S. Bengal, 1895, 414), " it is fond of setthng on forest roads 

 with wings only half open, and has a very rapid flight, as its robust nature shows." 

 Found also in Java, Borneo, Mindanao, Philippines (Semper, Reisen Phil. Lep. 

 p. 85), and accorduig to Mr. Leech (P. Z. S. 1887, 417), is " fairly common in Central 

 Japan."
