256 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



]\Ii\ de Niceville also records it from Assam. Major C. H. E. Adamson (Catal. of 

 Burmese Butterflies, p. 8) states that it is " common in Burma." Capt. E. Y. 

 Watson (Journ. Bombay N", H. Soc. 1891, 10) obtained it during the Chin-Lushai 

 Expedition of 1889-90, " from Pauk to Tilin, in November, and at Tilin from Novem- 

 ber to May." Signor Leonardo Fea obtained it at Bhamo in November. In Upper 

 Tenasserim, " Capt. 0. T. Bingham took it from December to April " (Butt. India, 

 i. 150). Messrs. Elwes and de Niceville (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 417) records it from 

 Tavoy, and Dr. J. Anderson (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 32) obtained it in 

 " Mergui during March." In the Andamans, the late Mr. F. A. de RoepstorfE 

 (P. Z. S. 1877, 582) took numerous specimens at Port Blair. 



DisTEiBUTiON OUTSIDE INDIAN Aeea. — It was obtained in Siam by the late Mr. 

 Mouhot. Mr. Distant (Rhop. Malayana, p. 43) records it from Malacca and Penang 

 Island, " appearing in paddy-fields at dusk." Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1891, 

 24) obtained it on Engano Island (Nias group), remarking that it was " scarce." It 

 is also recorded from Sumatra. The late Dr. Horsfield (Catal. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. i. 

 p. 216) took it in Java, these specimens being identical with Indian examples. Mr.H. 

 Druce (P. Z. S. 1873, 339) records it from Borneo. I have it from Sarawak. Herr 

 G. Semper (Reisen Archipel. Philippen Lep. i. p. 44) records it from Luzon and 

 Mindanao. Specimens from Hong Kong are in Mr. J. H. Leech's Collection, and 

 also in the British Museum. The late Consul R. Swinhoe (P. Z. S. 1878, 698) 

 obtained it on the Island of Hainan and also on Formosa (P. Z. S. 1866,360) re- 

 marking that it " loves to cluster on bamboo stems." There is a specimen of the 

 female in the British Museum from Kiukiang on the Yangzee, W. China. Speci- 

 mens have been verified from all the above-mentioned localities. It does not occur 

 in Celebes, as has been recorded by Herr Snellen, the species from the latter island 

 being L. Arcuata, Butler, and totally distinct both from L. Eiiropa and from L. 

 Arete, Cram., from Sula — as verified by personal comparison of specimens of both 

 sexes of these species in our own collection.
