Habitat. — Sikkim. 



DiSTEiBUTioN. — Mr. L. de Nic^ville (P. Z. S. 18S7, 419) records " a large series 

 of male and a single female collected in Sikkim by Mr. Otto MoUer." Mr. H. J. 

 Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 317) says, " I found this much commoner in Sikkim than 

 L. TSTicetas, the males being abundant along the Goompahar and the flanks of Tonglo, 

 from 7000 to 8000 feet or upwards, in July and August. They settle on the roads 

 in wet places on shady paths, but the female is very much rarer, and 1 only procured 

 a single good specimen, which differs little from the male."
