Habitat. — N. W. Himalayas. 



Distribution and Habits. — Baron von Hiigel obtained the male and female at 

 " Simla and Masuri." Col. A. M. Lang (But. Mo. Mag. 186i, 181) says this insect 

 " frequents a region about 200 miles from Kasauli, in damp glens, where tall rocks 

 cast a shadow all day, this insect is to be found pitched on the rocks or at their foot, 

 or in the rank vegetation near, but never seeks the broad sunshine." "Both sexes 

 were taken by Col. Lang at an elevation of 7000 feet, at Masuri, in June, and in 

 Lower Kunawur" (Butt, of India, i. 155). Capt. H. B. Hellard (MS. Notes) 

 records it from Simla and Masuri, at end of June and beginning of October." 

 " Major C. T. Marshall obtained numerous males in May in Chumba, and 

 both sexes were taken by Capt. A. Gr. Young in Kulu from May to July, also 

 the male only by Mrs. Deane in Chini in June " (Butt, of India, 155). The Rev. J. 

 Hocking (P. Z. S. 1882, 235) records specimens from the Kangra District, N. W. 

 Himalayas, Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, 115) obtained it in " Kumaon 

 generally at 3000 to 7000 feet."
