Mr. 0. Moller, found in April and May, and again in October, at 2-5000 feet on the 
Tukvar Spur. My collectors brought a single female from the interior in 1883, 
which must, I think, have been taken at a higher elevation.” (Elwes, id. p. 312.) 
“ Somewhat rare. It has been taken at Shillong in May ” (de Niceville, Butt. Ind. i. 
140). It was taken at Cherra Punji by the late Mr. W. S. Atkinson, and by Dr. G. 
Watt (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1885, 301) on the borders of Assam. It is not uncommon in 
the Khasia Hills. 
The illustrations on our Plate No. 76, fig. 3, 3a, b, represent the male and 
female, the latter sex taken from a specimen kindly lent for this purpose by Mr. H. 
J. Elwes.
