LAMPIDES. 329 



British Isles to China and Japan. It is also fairly widely distributed in 

 the Indian area, as may be readily gathered from de Niceville's Butterflies 

 of India, Burmah, and Ceylon, in., p. 67, although there it occurs more 

 particularly in the western Himalayas, especially on the inner ranges 

 and Kashmir, whilst Scudder says that the group is also abundant in 

 the western part of North America, but is rare in the eastern half, 

 and very badly represented in South America.
