Males of this form, from Sikkim, are in our own collection, and also in that of 
Mr. H. G rose-Smith. A female under examination was taken in Sikkim, in March, 
by Mr. 0. Moller, and is in the collection of Mr. J. H. Leech. 
Distribution and Habits.— Mr. L. de Niceyille found this species in profusion 
in the Great Runjeet Valley, Sikkim, in October. “ It settles on the road with closed 
wings, flying off into the jungle when disturbed. The beautifully variegated under¬ 
side of this species effectually hides it when settled, as is its habit, amongst dead 
leaves. Mr. 0. Moller has also taken it in the neighbourhood of Darjiling in May 
and June” (Butt. Ind. I. 171). A female, in the collection of Mr. J. H. Leech, 
was taken by Mr. Moller in Sikkim, in November. Mr. IL. J. Llwes records this 
species as being “ found in the hot valleys of Sikkim from 1 to 3 or 4000 feet, 
between May and December. I never saw it in profusion, but only solitary speci¬ 
mens. It settles on the ground as well as on tree-trunks, and if disturbed goes off
