To Dr. Rogenhofer, the Custodian of the Zoological Museum, Vienna, we are 
indebted for having kindly favoured us with a coloured drawing of the type speci¬ 
men described by Dr. Felder as D. Vindhya , and thus enabling us to identify it as 
being the same as Mr. Butler’s D. Alberta . 
Regarding the fact that Vindhya represents the wet-season form and Dolopes the 
dry-season form of this species, there can be no possible doubt. 
Of the illustrations of this species on our Plate Ho. 81, figs. 1, la, b, c, repre¬ 
sent the male and female of the wet-season brood, from the Khasia Hills, and fig. 
Id, a male of the dry-season brood, also from the Khasia Hills, kindly lent for this 
purpose by Mr. H. J. Elwes, and fig. le, that of the female of the dry-season brood, 
this latter being the Dolopes of Hewitson. 
Distbibution.—A ccording to Mr. H. J. Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 313 ), cc this 
species is very rare in Sikkim and in Bhutan, and in the Khasia Hills. Mr. Giammie 
took a single female close to his house, at 3800 feet, in August. Messrs. Knyvett 
and Moller’s native collectors took specimens near Buxa in Bhutan, and I took a 
single male myself near Cherra Funji in the Khasia Hills, at the end of September, 
at about 2500 feet.” Specimens of the wet-season brood from Shillong and the 
Haga Hills are in the collection of Mr. P. Crowley. “ In the Indian Museum, Cal¬ 
cutta, there are males from Sibsagar, Assam” (Butt, of India, 146). Specimens 
were taken by Lieut. D* Thompson on the Chittagong side of the Chin Hills, in the 
cold weather, during the Chin-Lushai Expedition of 1889-90 (Journ. Bomb. N. H.
