DiSTKiBUTioN. — We possess examples of both sexes from Nepal, Sikkim, Bhotan, 

 Silhet, Khasias, Burma, and Hainan. It is "very common in Sikkim at all 

 elevations up to 7000 feet ; also in Assam and the Khasia Hills. Mr. "Wood-Mason 

 took it in Cachar ; the Indian Museum, Calcutta, has specimens from Silliet, Upper 

 Assam, and Shillong. Capt. C. T. Bingham took it in the Thoungyeen forests in 

 March and April, and in the Donat Range in July. It occurs also in Upper Burma, 

 Mergui, Perak, and Hainan " (de Niceville, I.e. ii. p. 36). " In Sikkim, it is found 

 almost throughout the year, occurring commonly up to 7000 feet elevation. The 

 larva, feeding in great numbers, on the common white and blue Passion flower " 

 (Ditto, Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 133). "In the north of Upper Burma and in the Hills of 

 Lower Burma, this species replaces G. Gyane " (Capt. C. H. E. Adamson, List 

 1897, 18). Signor L. Fea took it in Burma at Peupoli in June and July, at Meteleo 

 in August, and at Bhamo in November. Mr. J. J. Walker obtained it in HonQf Konor. 

 It is recorded from Tonkin (Oberthiir, Etudes Ent. 1893, 9). Mr. J. H. Leech has 

 examples from W. and C. China.
