Habitat. — Sikkim. 



Distribution.— Mr. H. J. Elwes remarks (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 318), "Mr. 

 Moller and myself both procured this species in Sikkim in 1886. I found the males 

 only in July, on the Siugalelah Range from about 9000 to 10,000 feet elevation, in 

 open spots in the dense bamboo thicket. Many of them were then worn, and 

 Moller's native collectors found it fresh in June. The insect is not so gregarious 

 in its habits as some of the other Lethes found with it. "We made numerous attempts 

 to find the female at different seasons in the same spots where the males were taken, 

 but did not discover it." According to Mr. L. de Melville (Journ. Bomb. N. H. S. 

 1889, 163) " a single female in Mr. Otto Moller's collection was obtained at Kala 

 Pookri, 10,000 feet, in Native Sikkim on 19th July, 1888." 



Our illustrations of this species on Plate No. 89, figs. 2, 2a, b, c, represent the 

 male and female from specimens kindly lent for this purpose by Mr. H. J. Elwes 

 and also by Mr. L. de Niceville.
