a, b. ? Second defile o£ the Irawady, 5th March 1875. 



I shot this species on a little sandy promontory in the second defile of the 

 Irawady, at which spot it was very numerous, flying at the height of a few feet 

 above the sand, and constantly alighting for a few moments. I did not elsewhere 

 observe it, and I procured only two females.
