 Dudgeon obtained and reai'ed the larva at Badamtan near Darjiling, the butterfly 

 swarming in the District (Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1890, 138). "It is excessively 

 common in Sikkim from 1000 to 6000 feet, almost throughout the year. 

 The larva feeding on several species of Mceso/" (L. de Niceville, Sikk. Gaz. 



1894, 149). Col. C. Swiiihoe records it from the Khasia Hills (Tr. Ent. Soc. 

 1893, 291). 



Col. C. H. E. Adarason records it as being "found generally throughout Burma, 

 and is sometimes found near Bhamo in great quantities in August and September. 

 It is found throughout the year, and is subject to great variation in the extent of 

 the white markings on the upper side " (Lists, 1889, 1897, pp. 20, 28). Dr. N. 

 Manders found it "abundant throughout the Shan States " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 526). 

 Dr. J. Anderson obtained it in the Islands of the Mergui Archipelago from November 

 to Marcli (Proc. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 38). Cramer's figure [I.e.), representing a 

 wet-season male, is recorded fi-om China, and Fabricius's type of Allica, from Siam, 

 is a ivet-season, female. Mr. J. H. Leech obtained it in W. and C. China. Mr. L. de 

 Niceville says " it occurs right across China to near Ningpo on the East Coast" 

 (Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 149). Mr. J. J. Walker found it "very common in Hong 

 Kong, especially in April and May, but stray specimens occur throughout the 

 winter months. It frequents sunny paths and roadsides, and has a rapid 

 flight, settling on leaves with wings extended and slightly raised " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 



1895, 459).
