DiSTEiBUTiOK. — The type specimens were taken at " Papun in November and 

 December, at Methalauk in November, Karen Hills, 500 to 1500 feet elevation, iu 

 December, Toungu in December, and at Meple in October and December" (de N. I.e. 

 110). Col. C. H. E. Adamson records one male (as Horsfitldii), taken in October near 

 Kannee, and one female (as Ccistelnaiii), taken in the Thoungyeen Valley, Amherst 

 District, Upper Tenasserim, in May (List, 1897, 17). We have verified these two 

 specimens. Mr. H, J. Elwes records two males (as Hvrsfieldii) from the " Karen 

 Hills, taken by Mr. W. Doherty, and one from Singrao, Shan States, Burma, taken 

 by Dr. Manders " (P. Z. S. 189L 272). Siguor L. Fea took it at " Leito, Karen 

 Hills, in January." Dr. N. Manders obtained " one specimen at Fort Stedman, Shan 

 States" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 520). Mr. H. Grose-Smith has examples obtained by 

 Mr. Hawxswell in the Attaran Valley, Upper Tenasserim, in March. Specimens from
