 also in Arabia and Africa. 



Distribution. — Watson records it from Mysore, the Chin Hills and Chin Lushai, 

 Mackinnon from Mussuri, Manders from the Shan States, Moore from Ceylon and 

 Mergui, Doherty from Kumaun, de Niceville from Simla, Malda, Sikkim, Orissa, 

 Nilgiris, Andamans and Eangoon ; we took it at Aden and Karachi, and have received
