18 LEPIBOPTEEA INBICA. 



(J. Bombay F. H. S. 1895, 497). Mr. P. W. Mackinnon records it as " common in 

 Masuri, in tlie spring and summer months. The larva feeds on the leaves of 

 Machilus odoratissihui , N. 0. Laurinege. It is bright green with a yellow collar on 

 the fifth segment. The pupa is bright green, with the angles yellow. The larva 

 pupates in June, and the butterfly emerges in the following April " (J. Bombay 

 N. H. S. 18ii8, 595). Mr. W. Doherty took it at " Khati, Loharkhet, and in Lower 

 Ramganga, 2,000 to 7,000 feet, in Knmaon. Gen. G. Ramsay obtained it in Nepal. 

 Specimens labelled Nepal, and Barrackpur near Calcutta, are in the British Museum. 

 Mr. H. J. Elwes writes, " Moller gives the habitat of this species, in Sikkim, as 

 from 2,000 to 4,000 feet ; occurring from April to October. I saw it in Khasia 

 at 6,000 feet, flying on sunny days round the tops of trees with very rapid flight, 

 and hard to catch" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 434). Mr. G. C. Dudgeon took it iu 

 Bhotan. Col. C. Swinhoe records it from the Khasia Hills (Tr. Ent. Soc. 

 314). Mr. W. Rothschild records it from the Shan States (Nov. ZooL ii. 1893, 

 445).
