DiSTRrBUTioN. — Mr. A. Graham Young obtained " five specimens at Kujiah near 

 Dalhousie, at 6000 feet elevation, in May, 1867, one specimen in Kulu at 3600 feet, 

 in March, 1871, one at 3500 feet in March, 1872, and one at 3700 feet in May, 1885. 

 In July, 1872, three were seen in Kulu at 4500 feet, flying together, and on three 

 different dates in May, 1885, three more were seen " (Butt. Ind. ii. 143). Mr. H. J. 

 Elwes has a female, taken in Chumba, Western Himalayas. Col. C. Swinhoe has 

 received several specimens taken by Mr. Young, in Kulu. 



Habits. — According to the observations of Mr. A. G. Young, "it is not very 

 rare in the Kulu Valley, W, Himalayas, frequenting the banks of heavily wooded 

 streams from 3500 to under 6000 feet elevation above the sea, never higher than 

 that. It is purely a forest insect, never found amongst mere brushwood, but always 

 amongst trees, and occurs generally from about March 25th to May 20th. Once 

 only three were seen together in July, 1872. It is very fond of settling on wet sand 

 or gravel ; when disturbed it flies ofl^ with a strong Papilio-like flight, and is very 

 strong on the wing. His native collector reports that last year (1899) he saw over 

 twenty specimens, but caught only five. In Kulu it is very local. Mr. Young 

 knows of two spots only where it occurs " (de Niceville, Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 

 1900, 154).
