Habitat. —Sikkim; Assam; Khasias ; Burma; Tenasserim; Shan States. 
Distribution. —Mr. L. de Niceville records it as “occurring in Sikkim, in the 
outer valleys, such as the Sivoke, in April and May. It is rare, and probably single 
brooded ” (Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 174). Mr. G. C. Dudgeon took it in Bhotan. Col. C. 
Swinhoe has received “ several hundreds, all males, from the Khasia Hills 55 (Tr. Ent. 
Soc. 1893, 313). Col. 0. H. E. Adamson obtained “two males in Burma, while 
imbibing moisture from damp sand, in February and March” (List, 1897, 48). Col. 
C. T. Bingham obtained specimens in Thoungyeen, Upper Tenasserim. We have 
two males from the Upper Mekong, Shan States, taken by Mr. R. Roberts, C.E.
