Habitat. — Lower Burma ; Tenasserim ; Shan States ; N.-W. Siam. 

 DisTRiBDTiOf. — Signor L. Fea obtained it in the "Karen Hills, 600 to 700 feet 

 elevation, in April." The type specimen was taken on the road from " Moolai to 

 Moolat, 4,500 feet elevation, Upper Tenasserim " (P. Z. S. 1878, 840). CoL C. H. E. 

 Adamson obtained " one male at Hpapoon on the Yoonzaleen Eiver, Middle 

 Tenasperini, in September" (List 1897, 48). Mr. H. Grose-Smith possesses males 

 from the Ataran Valley, taken in Februar^^, and from the Thoungyeeu Valley, Upper 

 Tenasserim, taken in January by Mr. J. A. Hauxwell. Mr. W, Rothschild has 

 males from Tenasserim, and both sexes from Muong Guow, Shan States, N.-W. 

 Siam. We possess a male from " Hills between Burma and Siam," and also a male 

 from Tavoy, Lower Tenasserim, taken in February by Mr. Tucker. 



Mimicry. — The male of this species fairly resembles the Papilionine Chilasa 

 Fapune, and the female the Chilasa Onpape ; the female also, probably, being a 

 mimic of the Euploeine, Crastia Layardi. 



Our illustrations on Plate 499, figs. 1, la, are from a Tenasserim male, and 

 figs, lb, c, from the Shan States female in Mr. W. Rothschild's Collection.
