Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan. 



DiSTEiBUTioN. — " Taken at Senchal, in Sikkim, at 8000 feet, in August, by Mr. 

 Paul Mowis" (J. A. S. Beng. 1883, 93). Mr. H. J. Elwes writes (Tr. Ent. See. 

 1888, 319), " I found this species, which has hitherto been very rare in collections, 

 not uncommon on the road to Tonglo, in Sikkim, at 8000 to 9000 feet, in July ; and 

 Mr. MoUer's collectors brought numerous specimens from the same locality in 

 August. It also occurs in the interior of Bhotan and Sikkim. It settles on the 

 path and flies into the forest when disturbed. The females are seldom taken, and 

 differ but slightly from the male."
