Distribution. —“ A rare insect in Sikkim, which I have only taken at the 
Kangbi bridge in May, and on the flanks of Dhuinsong, in British Bhotan, at 6000 
feet, in August. Mr. Moller’s collectors have taken it in June, and near Buxa in 
Bhotan at 5000 feet in June.” (Elwes, Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 311.) It was also 
taken at Darjiling by the late Mr. AY. S. Atkinson. Mr. W. Doherty obtained it in 
the Naga Hills, at 5000 to 8000 feet in July and August.
