DiSTEiEDTiON. — " Males of this species are very common in Sikkim, also in 

 Assam and the Khasia Hills. They are very powerful on the wing, and frequent 

 damp spots, where they suck up the moisture. The females are less frequently 

 seen " (de Niceville, I.e. p. 42). "Common in Sikkim from the Terai to 6000 feet 

 elevation almost all tbe year round. I have bred this species from larvae taken in 

 great numbers on the Passion flower, in October, The specimens which emerge in 

 the early spring from larvae fed up in the late autumn are much smaller, and the 

 females much lighter coloured, than the later broods of the year " (Ditto, Sikkim 

 Gaz. 1894, 133). " It is generally spread throughout the hilly parts of Burma. I 

 found males very common on one occasion near Phapoon, in November, and again 

 near Bbamo, where I caught one female in October. Females are very uncommon "
