and May. The sexes here differ but slightly, the dry-season form of the female being 
alone found. The butterflies seem always to be flying from east to west, this observation 
having been made at two places more than twenty miles apart ” (J. Bombay U. H. S. 
1898, 591). Mr. H. J. Elwes records it as “ common in Sikkim at low elevations 
from April to October. The females, which are rarer than the males in their proper 
habitat, have the habit of flying up to great heights on the mountains. I took 
females on Tonglo at 8,500 feet, on the Bishila in Bhotan at 10,400 feet, and in the 
Khasia Hills at the highest peak on the Shillong plateau, 6,400 feet; but saw no 
males in any of these places ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 419). Mr. L. de Uiceville says 
it “ occurs in Sikkim from the level of the Terai to over 10,000 feet elevation, and 
flies from April to October ” (Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 169). Col. C. Swinhoe records it as 
“ common in the Khasia Hills, also Shillong and Cherra Punii” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 
310). Hr. G. Watt obtained it at Manipur, and argyridina , the dry form, was taken 
in January, in the valley of the Khoonah Khong, Eastern Manipur ” (Ann. U. H. 
1885, 340). Col. C. H. E. Adamson says, £e I have caught this butterfly not 
uncommonly in Upper Burma, but only a single specimen in Lower Burma. The 
upper side varies in colour from shining white to a rich cream colour; the black 
markings also vary considerably in intensity ” (List, p. 44). Dr. U. Manders found 
it te common in the Shan States at 3,000 feet elevation ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 
534). 
We possess specimens of the wet and dry form from Sikkim, Bhotan, U. E. 
Bengal, the Khasias, and Manipur ; also the types of pseudolaluge , and both sexes 
of the dry form from the Karen Hills.
