DiSTEiBUTiON. — In Sikkim, Mr. H. J. Elwes " found this species rare on the 

 road up to Tonglo, in July ; a specimen was also taken on the Goompahar in June, 

 and a few others on Tonglo and Tendong in August. It occurs at from 7000 to 

 9000 feet, and has the same habits as the Zophoessas. My collectors also brought 

 it from the interior in 1881 and 1883. The female, which is rare, only differs from 

 the male in being larger and paler " (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 320). Mr. L. de Nice- 

 ville (Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1887, 147) also records " its capture in Sikkim in 

 September." Mr. W. Doherty (Jouru. As. Soc. Bengal, 1886, 117) records the 

 capture of specimens, which he refers to this species, in the Pindari Valley, at 7000 

 to SOOO feet elevation in N.-W. Kumaon, " these specimens being darker than those 

 from Sikkim, and the silver band narrower." A specimen, taken in Kumaon, at 9000 

 feet, in June, is also in the British Museum collection.
