it on the “Nilgiris at from 1000 to 7000 feet elevation ” (J. As. Soc. Bengal, 1888,

at Simachellum, Madras” (MS. Notes). Oapt. E. Y. 'Watson records it as 
very common in Madras from June to September” (J. As. Soc. Bengal, 1890,

Mr. F. M. Mackwood records it as a “low country butterfly in Ceylon, and found 
occasionally about 2000 feet elevation. Very abundant in the early months of 
the year, but occurs all through the year” (Lep. Ceylon, i. 152).
