uncommonly long band, and from its green colour would seem to be normally 

 formed on the plant and not under stones" (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, 579). "We 

 possess a coloured drawing of a specimen taken by the late Sir Walter Elliot at 

 Nullacherla, between Rajamundry and EUore, Madras. Mr. H. S. Ferguson records 

 it as " rare in Travancore ; two specimens only being taken, in open forest, at the 

 foot of the Ashambu Hills in August, and some were taken by Mr. Garrett near 

 Ariankarvu" (J. Bombay, N. H. S. 1891, 313). Mr. W. C. Taylor says it is " not 

 common at Khorda, in Orissa" (List, p. 16). Col. C. Svvinhoe has received it "in 

 great numbers, from the Khasia Hills" {Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 313). Dr. G. Watt 

 obtained it near Manipur (Ann. IN". H. 1885, 342). Mr. J. Wood-Mason obtained 

 " nine males and one female at Silcuri, Cachar, from March 19th to July 29th (J. 

 As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 376). Mr. H. J. Elwes records it as " common in the lower 

 valleys of Sikkim, up to 3,000 feet, from April to October" (Ti-. Ent. Soc. 1888, 

 433). Capt. B. Y. Watson found it " not uncommon at the foot of the N. Chin 

 Hills, Burma, from March to May " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1897, 672). Col. C. fl. E. 

 Adamsou obtained it at " Moulmein ; taken in company with P. Numius, but it is 

 much less common" (List, 1897, 48). Capt. Watson also says it is " common at 

 Beeling, N. of Moulmein " (J. Bomb. N. H. S. 1888, 26). Mr. H. J. Elwes records 

 " many males from Ponsekai and the Hills on the Siamese frontier" (J. As. Soc. 

 Beng. 1886, 437). Dr. J. Anderson took it in " Mergui, Tenasserim, in December 

 and March " (J. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 50). 



Dr. N. Manders writes that " it is common, in N.E. Sumatra, over the whole of 

 our area, in and near forest, throughout the year, but most abundant in March. 

 The males come in crowds to wet spots on roads, and settle among a number of 

 Pierinse, where they evidently feel protected, as they also have white wings. When 

 on the wing they look like a "White," as their long tails, when flying rapidly, can 

 hardly be seen. The females are only caught in the forest, as they do not come to 

 roads" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1895, 524).
