DrsTRTBUTiON. — " A rare species, which does not occur in British Sikkini, but 

 has been brought from the Central part of Native Sikkim by Mr. Otto Holler's 

 collectors" (H. J. Elwes, Tr. Eiit. Soc. 1888, 351). Mr. Moller's coUectiou, when in 

 London for disposal, contained nine males. Mr. L. de Niceville says it is " one of 

 the rarest of the Sikkim butterflies, and has never, T believe, been caught by a 

 European in that region. It appears to be single-brooded and to occur in the 

 spring in Native Sikkim" (Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 140).
