DisTKiBUTiON. — We possess examples from Nepal, taken by Gen. G. Ramsay; 

 from Bhotaii, taken by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon, in February and May. Mr. L. de 

 Niceville records it as being " found in Sikkim between 5000 and 1)000 feet 

 elevation, never commonly east of the Tista river. It is a forest butterfly. I have 

 caught it in October, but it probably flies all through the summer. It is much less 

 rare in Bhotan and Daling " (Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 140). Mr. H. J. Elwes says it is 

 " a rare species in Sikkim, occurring on paths in dense forest at 7000 to 9000 feet, 

 in the rainy season. It flies fast, and settles on the ground " (Tr. Ent. See, 1838, 

 371). Col. C. Swinhoe records several examples from the Khasia Hills (Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. 1893, 291). Mr. W. Doherty records it as "occurring in the Naga Hills at 

 6C00 to 6000 feet, but not commonh^. A single specimen, also taken at Ber- 

 nardmyo" (P. Z. S. 1891, 288). Mr. L. de Xiceville records "a pupa of this 

 species, found at Darjiling by Mr. A. V. Knyvett on Mse-'ta CJdsia, attached to a leaf 

 in exactly the same way as in Z. Flegyas, i.e. by the tail and a median girth " (Proc. 

 As. Soc. Beng, 1890, 138).
