55 



broader, the discoidal interspace being traversed by a thinner bifid line. Male with 

 a large sjMhilar-sliaped i)atch of scent-scales on the lower median vein, and a smaller 

 patch on the submedian vein. 



Expanse, 3 to 3f inches. 



Habitat. — Sub-Himalayas ; Assam ; Upper and Lower Burma ; Tenasserim. 



Distribution. — According to Mr. De Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 39) this species 

 " inhabits the region of heavy rainfall in North-east India, extending westward along 

 the Submontane Terais to the Sutlej, but common only towards the East." Capt. 

 R. B. Reed obtained it in Kashmir ; Capt. Hellard obtained it at Masuri in Sept. and 

 October, and Col. Swinhoe has a specimen taken by Capt. Reed in Solun in May. 

 " A single specimen was taken by Mr. De Niceville in a garden about 1000 feet below 

 Simla in July; three others were taken in November at Naiashahr in the Saharunpur 

 District, and a specimen in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, is from Masuri, but in the 

 N.W. Himalayas it is decidedly a rare insect." (Butt. Ind. i. 39). In Kumaon, Mr. 

 "W. Doherty (who applies to it the name "Aglaia") says (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 

 113), it is " common in the Tarai and in the Sarju and Kali valleys up to 4000 feet 

 elevation." In Sikkim "it was taken by Mr. 0. Miiller in the Great Runjit valley 

 at 1200 feet elevation, and in the Darjiling tarai and up to 6000 feet elevation in the 

 Hills, Mr. De Niceville found it plentiful in October (Butt. Ind. i. 39). Mr. J. H. 

 Elwes states also (Tr. Eat. Soc. 1888, 299), that it is "common in the terai and 

 up to about 6000 feet from March to December." It is also enumerated in my 

 list of Major. -Gen. Ramsay's Nepal butterflies, and I have a specimen from Buxa 

 in Bhotan. In the Khasia Hills it occurs in November, is " common in Cachar 

 from April to June, and on Nemotha (3634 feet) in Sept. and October " (J. A. S. 

 Beng. 1887, 345). It also occurs at Sibsagur in Assam, and Mr. J. L. Sherwill 

 recently obtained it on the Naga Hills. In Burma it has been obtained at Bhamo in 

 December, a specimen received from Mr. Noble being in Col. Swinhoe's collection. 

 Mr. Limborg took it in Upper Tenasserim in the winter at 3000 to 6000 feet elevation 

 (P. Z. S. 1878, 822). " Capt. C. T. Bingham also found it there commonly in 

 February, up to 1500 feet, and again in August to November." In Lower Tenasserim 

 "a few were taken in Tavoy, Ponsekai, and adjacent hills " (J. A. S. Beng. 1887,415) 

 Dr. J. Anderson took it at " Mergui in December " (J. Linn. Soc. Z. 1886, 30).
