6000 feet, from April to October. The female is rare ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 429). 
Mr. L. de Niceville says, “ both sexes are rare in Sikkim, the female especially so. 
It occurs from April to October, and from the level of the Terai up to 6000 feet” 
(Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 171). Mr. G. C. Dudgeon took males in Bhotan, in July.
