Mr. de Niceville also records it from Assam. Major C. H. E. Adamson (Catal. of 
Burmese Butterflies, p. 8) states that it is cc common in Burma. 55 Capt. E. Y. 
Watson (Journ. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1891, 10) obtained it during the Chin-Lushai 
Expedition of 1889-90, “ from Pauk to Tilin, in November, and at Tilin from Novem¬ 
ber to May. 55 Signor Leonardo Fea obtained it at Bhamo in November. In Upper 
Tenasserim, cc Capt. C. T. Bingham took it from. December to April 55 (Butt. India, 
i. 150). Messrs. Elwes and de Niceville (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 417) records it from 
Tavoy, and Dr. J. Anderson (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 32) obtained it in 
“ Mergui during March. 55 In the Andamans, the late Mr. F. A. de Boepstorff 
(P. Z. S. 1877, 582) took numerous specimens at Port Blair. 
Distribution outside Indian Area. —It was obtained in Siam by the late Mr. 
Mouhot. Mr. Distant (Bhop. Malayana, p. 43) records it from Malacca and Penang 
Island, a appearing in paddy-fields at dusk. 55 Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1891, 
24) obtained it on Engano Island (Nias group), remarking that it was scarce. 55 It 
is also recorded from Sumatra. The late Dr. Horsfield (Catal. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. i. 
p. 216) took it in Java, these specimens being identical with Indian examples. Mr.FL 
Druce (P. Z. S. 1873, 339) records it from Borneo. I have it from Sarawak. Herr 
Gr. Semper (Beisen Arckipel. Philippen Lep. i. p. 44) records it from Luzon and 
Mindanao. Specimens from Hong Kong are in Mr. J. H. Leech’s Collection, and 
also in the British Museum. The late Consul B. Swinhoe (P. Z. S. 1878, 698) 
obtained it on the Island of Hainan and also on Formosa (P. Z. S. 1866, 360) re¬ 
marking that it u loves to cluster on bamboo stems.” There is a specimen of the 
female in the British Museum from Iviukiang on the Yangzee, W. China. Speci¬ 
mens have been verified from all the above-mentioned localities. It does not occur 
in Celebes, as has been recorded by Herr Snellen, the species from the latter island 
being L . Arcucita , Butler, and totally distinct both from L. Europa and from L a 
Arete, Cram., from Sula—as verified by personal comparison of specimens of both 
sexes of these species in our own collection.
