Habitat. — Assam. 



DiSTRiBDTiON. — Of this rare species, Mr. de Niceville records " two males, one 

 being the type, from Sibsagar, Upper Assam, taken by Mr. S. B. Peal, in the Indian 

 Museum, Calcutta, and one in his own collection from Hulunguri, Jorehat District of 

 Assam, taken by Mr. J. L. Sherwill,in March. One of the Sibsagar and the Jorehat 

 specimen differ from the type in the extent of the red markings on tbe upperside ; 

 in the type specimen the oblique subapical and the lower-discal bauds of the forewing 

 are separated, and the discal black band on the hindwing is wide, while in the other 

 two specimens the former are joined, and the latter is less than half as wide " 

 (I.e. 80). A male, labelled " Siam," is in Mr. H. Grose-Smith's collection.
