wings paler and brighter oclireous than in Nomius ; and on the hindwing the basal 
band has a black streak along the precostal vein, which latter is also present in

Distkibution.— Col. C. Swinhoe possesses two males from Sikkim. A single 
specimen was obtained in Sikkim by Mr. Otto Moller. We possess specimens from 
Pegu, and from Thoungyeen, Upper Tenasserim, the latter taken by Col. C. T. 
Bingham in February. Col. Swinhoe also has it from Pegu. Capt. E. Y. Watson 
took it at “ Tiling, from March to May ” (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1891, 54). He also 
writes, “ The Eastern race of Nomius (Swinhoei Moore) was common in the Upper 
Chindwin District, Burma, from March to May, and Capt. Longe also obtained it 
commonly at 2,000 feet elevation, on the Manipur River in February ” (id. l.c. 1897, 
672). Specimens fromTilin Yaw and Toungoo, taken by Capt. E. Y. Watson, are in 
the British Museum. Col. C. H. E. Adamson has taken it in “Akyab, Moulmein, 
and Bhamo, and says it affects the borders of tanks and moist places in otherwise 
dry forests, in March, April, and May, the females being very uncommon ” (List, 
1897, 48). 
We possess four males from the Upper Mekong, Shan States, taken by Mr. J. 
Roberts, C.E.
