Distribution. —Mr. G. F. Hampson (J. A. S. Beng. 1888, 348) obtained it on 
“ the Nilgiris, from 5000 to 6000 feet, where it is confined to the forest on the edges 
of the plateau.” Examples have also been taken at Mettapalayam in Coimbatore. 
Habits. —According to Mr. Hampson (1. c. 348), “ It has only the two wet- 
season broods; in May and August.” 
The illustrations of this species on our Plate 71, figs. 1, la, b, c, represent the 
male and female from the Nilgiris.
