 with white ; legs black, fore femora white streaked beneath ; abdomen beneath with

Expanse, 85- to 4 inches. 



Habitat. — Upper and Lower Tenasserim. 



DiSTEiBDTioN. — According to Mr. De Niceville (Butt, of Ind. i. 89) it is " common 

 in Upper Tenasserim from Feb. to April, and perhaps at other seasons." Mr. 

 Limborg (P. Z. S. 1878, 823) took it at " Ahsown, 2000 feet elevation, also above 

 Ahsown, at Halseiga, and at the Houngduran source." It also occurs at Tavoy 

 (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 416). Capt. Bingham obtained it in the Thoungyeen forests 

 in May, and in the Mepley Valley in February. Dr. J. Andersou (J. Linn. Soc. 

 Zool. 1886, 30) also obtained it in the Mergui Archipelago in " Dec. and January."
