Habitat. —N.-W. and E. Himalayas. 
Distribution.— In the N.-W. Himalayas it was obtained by the Rev. J. H. 
Hocking in Kulu (P. Z. S. 1882, 235), and “ Mr. A. Graham Young has also taken 
it in Kulu, in May, July, and October, but never plentifully, and those taken are 
much smaller than specimens from the Eastern Himalayas 55 (Butt. Ind. 161). Mr. 
L. de Kiceville (Butt. Ind. 161) records it as being Ctf found at from 3000 to 6000 
feet in suitable localities in the Himalayas from Kulu to Sikkim, not being common 
anywhere, and is rarer in the West than in the East.” Mr. H. J. Elwes (Tr. Ent. 
Soc. 1888, 317) records it as Cff rare in July on the Goompahar Ridge near Darjiling, 
in virgin forest, at from 7000 to 8000 feet. Has also been taken by Mr. Knyvett on 
Sinchul, in June and August.”
