Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan ; Assam ; Khasia Hills ; Burma. 



DiSTKiBDTiON. — In Sikkim, according to Mr. Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 312), 

 " this must be a very rare species, as I have only one old specimen from "Wilson's 

 Collection, and Moller has only one, which differs from Bhotan specimens in wanting 

 the rufous margin of the hindwing. It occurs, however, more commonly near Buxa 

 in Bhotan, where Mr. Knyvett's collectors have taken both sexes in July and 

 August. I have taken it at Cherra Punji in the Khasia Hills, in September." It 

 was obtained by the late Mr. "W". S. Atkinson in Sikkim, and at Cherra Punji. Mr. de 

 Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 144) gives Cherra Punji and Sibsagur, Assam, and the Dafla 

 Hills, but no precise record of their capture." Our own collection contains speci- 

 mens from the Khasia Hills collected by Major Godwin-Austen. In Burma, Dr. N. 

 Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1890, 518) records " one male, with rufous markings 

 on the hindwing well marked, from Bernardmyo, a Hill Station in the Shan States 

 at 7000 feet elevation."
