CALINAGrN^. 43 



in Sikkiin, it is " common from 2000 to 6000 feet elevation between ^[arcii and 

 November. I have always found it in the rains most abundant in second-growth 

 jungle and open places, sucli as tlie road between Lopchu and Pashok " (Trans. 

 Eut. Soc. 1888, 348). Mr. L. de Niceville records it as " not uncommon in Sikkim 

 at the level of the Terai to about 6000 feet, from March to November. In the 

 Western Himalayas it occurs almost entirely in the beds of hill streams, in Sikkim 

 it is also found there commonl}', less frequently in forests" (Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 

 139). Col. C. Swinhoe records it from the Khasias (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 281.) 

 Col. C. H. E. Adamson " took this insect in September, October, and February in 

 Moulmain and Ai-akan, and one specimen at Aloungdan Kathapa in Upper Burma, 

 in February. It is an uncommon insect, and I have always seen it settle on the 

 ground with its wings outstretched; when disturbed it flies away rapidly, returning 

 after a time to the same spot"(Li-;t Burmese Butt. 1897, 21). Dr. N. Manders 

 found it " not rare in the Shan States, Burma, and generally seen in junglv places 

 near water" (Tr. Eut. Soc. 1890, 522). Specimens are recorded from " Tavoy and 

 Ponsekai" (J. As. Soc. Bengal, 1887, 420). Signor L. Fea took it in Bhamo, and 

 at Cabopa iu October and November.
