Habitat. — N.-W. and E. Himalayas. 



DiSTEiBUTiON. — In the N.-W. Himalayas it was obtained by the Rev. J. H. 

 Hocking in Kulu (P. Z. S. 1882, 235), and " Mr. A. Graham Young has also taken 

 it in Kulu, in May, July, and October, but never plentifully, and those taken are 

 much smaller than specimens from the Eastern Himalayas " (Butt. Ind. 161). Mr. 

 L. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. 161) records it as being "found at from 3000 to 6000 

 feet in suitable localities in the Himalayas from Kulu to Sikkim, not being common 

 anywhere, and is rarer in the West than in the East." Mr. H. J. Elwes (Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. 1888, 317) records it as " rare in July on the Goompahar Ridge near Darjiling, 

 in virgin forest, at from 7000 to 8000 feet. Has also been taken by Mr. Knyvett on 

 Sinchul, in June and August,"
