KYMPHALIN^E. (Oroup NYin-EALiyA.) 157 



Dudgeon to feed on various species of Nettles, and is very conspicuous and common 

 on the Tuckvar Spur at 3500 feet elevation" (de Niceville, Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 147). 

 Specimens are recorded from " Silcuri, Cachar, taken in Jane " (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 

 362). Col. C. Swinhoe records it from the Khasias" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 289). 

 Messrs. Davidson and Aitken record it from the North Kanara District as 

 occurring " from August onwards, when the males may be found basking on the 

 Hill tops, but we very rarely saw a female, and all our specimens of that sex were 

 bred. "We have found eggs and larva in September and October, on a species of 

 Eranthemum, which belongs to the same natural order as the food-plants of all the 

 Junonias and Kallima. The eggs are laid in batches, and the larva are gregarious " 

 (Journ. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, p. 257). A male from Kanara, S. India, is in Col. 

 Swinhoe's and our own collection. Mr. H. S. Ferguson took it in Travancore, 

 where he found it "rare, two only being taken, one on the Hills, and one near 

 Trevandrum " (id. 1891, 10). In Ceylon, according to Mr. F. M. Mackwood's Notes, 

 " It is scarce ; found only from about 2000 to 4000 feet range." Capt. Hutchison 

 took it in " February and August in the edges of the low country forest paths 

 in the Eastern Province" (Lep. Ceylon, i. 38). Col. J. W. Yerbury obtained 

 specimens at Kandy, which are now in the British Museum. In Burma, Lieut. D. 

 Thompson took it in "Chin-Lushai Country during the Expedition from the Chitta- 

 gong side, in the cold weather of 1889-90 " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1890, 2). Dr. N. 

 Manders records it as " an uncommon species, in the Shan States at 3000 to 5000 

 feet elevation " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 525). Col. C. H. E. Adamson says " this 

 insect was common about the villages on the banks of the Houngdraw River in 

 October, 1880, where it settled on the mud under and near the native houses. I 

 have also taken it near Bhamo " (List 1897, 26). Mr. Otto Limborg took it at 

 " Hatseiga" (P. Z. S. 1878, 828). Signer L. Fea found it in the "Karen Hills in 

 November." Mr. H. J. Elwes records " many examples from Tavoy and the Hills" 

 (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 421).
