Of the illustrations on our Plate No. 56, figs. 1, la,b, represent the male and female 

 of the wet-season form, and figs. 2, 2a, b, the male and female of the dry-season form. 

 Distribution. — In the N.-W. Himalayas, Mr. G-rahara Young obtained the dry- 

 season form in the Kulu Valley at the end of May and in .June (Butt. Ind. i. 108). 

 Specimens from Raniket in Kumaon, taken at 6000 feet in April, are in the British 

 Museum. Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 114) records it from "\Yestern 

 Kumaon, obtaining the dry-season form at Askot, 5000 feet, in October, and the 

 wet-season form at Ramgarh and Takula, 6000 — 6000 feet. Major-General G. Ramsay 

 obtained it in the Nepal Valley. In Sikkim it has been taken by Mr. L. de Niceville 

 in October, at about 3000 feet (J. A. S. Beng. 1882, 55). According to Mr. H. J. 

 Elwes (Tr. Eut. Soc. Lond. 1888, 805) "both forms occur not uncommonly in the 

 valleys of Sikkim up to about 3000 feet, the wet-season form (Gopa) prevailing from 

 June to October, and the dry season form (Sanatana) during March, April and May.'' 

 It has also been taken at Shillong, Khasia Hills. In Burma, the dry-season form has 

 been obtained in the Karen Hills in February. Dr. N. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. Loud. 

 1890, 517) records it from Bernardmyo in the Shan States. Captain Bingham (Butt. 

 Ind. i. 108) also " obtained it on theDonat range, Upper Tenasserim, in January."
