 The Indian Museum has specimens from Arakan, Calcutta (mihi) Assam, 

 Mysore, and China. Walker's variety ' femoralis ' appears to be as much 

 entitled to specific rank as many others. It is found with the ordinary 

 form in Sikkim, Assam and Burma, and I have recently had it form the 

 Karen Hills near Tounghoo.
