The type specimens of primigenius —the male we assign to this form—were 
obtained in the Khasia Hills, in April, 1889, by the Rev. W. A. Hamilton’s native 
collectors, and are in Mr. W. Rothschild’s collection. We have specimens of the 
female (Phoenix) from the Khasias, Sikkim, and Burma. Col. 0. Swinhoe has the 
female from the Jaintia Hills. 
Of our illustrations on Plate 448, fig. 1 represents the type male, named jprimi- 
genius , from the Khasias ; fig. 2 the female (Phoenix) is also from a Khasia specimen, 
and fig. 2a from a Sikkim specimen.
