Distribution. —Mr. H. J. Elwes records it as “ of very rare occurrence in Sikkim, 
where,” he says, u lhave never seen it. Mr. 0. Mbller has one or two specimens from 
the low outer Hills” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 418). The type specimen of Gotha was 
taken by Major J. Lind Sherwill, probably, in Assam. In Mr. W. S. Atkinson’s 
Collection were specimens from <c Dansuri, Assam.” Col. C. Swinhoe records 
“ many examples from the Ivhasia Hills ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 310). Mr. J. Wood- 
Mason obtained “a single female at Irangmara, Cachar, in July” (J. As. Soc. Bang, 
1886, 72). Dr. G. Watt caught “several specimens near Manipur” (Ann. N*. H. 
1885, 339). Col. C. H. E. Adamson obtained the type specimen of Nebo C£ in the Hills 
of the extreme north of the Chindwin District, Upper Burma, in the cold weather” 
(List, p. 43). “ In Mr. L, de Niceville’s Collection are both sexes of Nebo , from 
Upper Burma, which were taken in the same locality as the type, in April, and is, I 
believe, only a spring dry form ” (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1895, 501). It is also recorded 
from the Shan States ; Siam, and Tonkin.
