 wavy discal dark ferruginous line, the latter being yellowish bordered externally ;

Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan. 



Distribution. — According to Mr. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 139), "this is a rare 

 insect in Sikkim, where it has been taken by Mr. 0. Moller in September." " Mr. 

 MoUer also took a single female in perfect condition in Birch Hill Park, 

 Darjiling, at 6000 feet elevation " (J. A. S. Beng. 1885, pt. ii. p. 2). It has also 

 been taken at Bikisum, at 7000 feet elevation in Bhotan, in August. Mr. Elwes (Tr. 

 Ent. Soc. 1888, 311) says, "This species is not uncommon, in Sikkim, in the dense 

 virgin forest on Tendong, and near Eikisum, and rarer on the flanks of Sinchul from 

 6000 to 8000 feet, in the months of July and August. I have, however, taken a 

 single female at the end of June, but this sex is always rare, and flies but little." It 

 was also obtained at Darjiling by the late Mr. W. S. Atkinson.
