(Capt. A. M. Lang, MS. Notes). It is “ very rare in Masuri, a few Cybernated 
specimens make their appearance in February. In March and April a fresh brood 
appears, which frequents the Rhododendron flowers. It occurs also at Nag Tiba, 
8000 feet elevation, in May. The larva feeds on Celtis australis , N. 0. Urticaceas, 
and on a wild willow” (P. W. Mackinnon, J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1898, 375). The 
Rev. J. H. Hocking ee found the larva on willow on March 30th, in the Kangra 
district. Fed up April 6th ; in pupa state from April 16th to 24th* Imago emerged 
on May 9th” (P. Z. S. 1882, 240).
