190 LEPIBOPTERA JNDICA. 



Folycfor on the damp sandy margins of streams in the Hills — on these occasions, if 

 distnrbed, they dispei-se, only to collect in groups again. Elevation 4000 to 7000 

 feet " (Capt. A. M. Lang, Eut. Mo. Mag. 1864, 101). :\rr. P. W. Mackinnon records 

 it as " very cominou, in the low valleys about ^lasuri, in company with I'nji. roh/cfor, 

 from ]\Iarch to October. Specimens of the sjyrimj brood, which fly in ]March and 

 April, are very small as compared with those of the rainy season. The larva feeds on 

 Zanfhoxi/lum ahiturn (Order Rutace*) ; it is green, with a yellow collar, and brown 

 liclieu-like markings. Some pupaj are coloui-ed like rough bark, others are uniformly 

 green " (Jouru. Bombay X. H. Soc. 1898, 592). Mr. W. Doherty found it in 

 " Kumaon generally, from 2000 to GOOO feet elevation, though not very common " 

 (Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 1886, 137). Mr. H. J. Elwes says, " :\lr. 0. Moller 

 records this species as occurring in Sikkim from 2000 to 3000 feet, from April until 

 October, but it occurs at much higher elevations in the N.AV. Himalaya, and in 

 the Khasias I have seen it up to at least GOOO feet. It is not, however, so common 

 in Sikkim as in some other parts of the Himalaya, and the female is decidedly rare. 

 I have never taken it myself in Sikkim " (Tr. Ent, Soc. 1888, 428). Mr. L. de 

 Xiceville records it as " somewhat rare in Sikkim, and occurs from 2000 to 5000 feet 

 elevation throughout the warm mouths" (Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 172). 

 Col. C. Swinhoe records it from the Khasia Hills (Tr. Ent. Soc. 189:], 312). Col. 

 C. H. E. Adamson took " two specimens at Tsinbo, north of Bhamo, Burma, in May" 

 (List, 1897, 46). We possess specimens from Simla, X.W. Himalaya, Xepal, Sikkim, 

 and Looshai. The British Museum has examples from Kumaon ; taken in May by 

 Col. J. C. Pilcher ; Xepal ; Bhotan, taken in August by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon; 

 Sibsagar, Assam, and tlie Khasia Hills. It is also recorded from Central and 

 Western China, Tonkin, and Hong Kong.
