Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam, Naga Hills. 



Distribution. — The types came from Darjiling ; we have received many examples 

 of both sexes from the Khasia and Jaintia Hills ; Elwes records it from the Naga Hills, 

 Elwes and de Niceville from Sikkim, and Hannyngton from Kumaon. 



Note. — After carefully examining a long series from Sikkim and Assam, we are 

 unable to agree with Friihstorfer that there is any real specific difference between the 

 examples from those localities.
