LEPIDOPTERA IN DIG A. 
Expanse, 3 If to 2-J, ? 2f inches. 
Habitat. —Eastern Himalayas (Nepal, Sikkim; Bhotan) ; Assam; Lower 
Bengal; Manipur; Burma; Tenasserim; Malay Peninsula; Singapur; Cochin China. 
Distribution. —Mr. L. de Niceville, in his MS. Notes on Pierinse, writes, “Itis 
very common in the Sikkim Hills, probably also in Nepal, the Bhutan Hills, through¬ 
out Assam, inhabiting Silhet, Cachar, and Manipur, throughout Burma as far south 
as Tavoy. It is very rarely found in the Plains of Bengal, I have two males taken 
in Calcutta and in Bholaliat, Maldah District, in February, both these specimens 
being the extreme dry-season form named Mahana and imbecilis .” We possess a 
male from Nepal, taken by the late Gen. G. Ramsay, both sexes from Darjiling, 
Silhet, Assam, males from Manipur, taken by Dr. G. Watt, and a male from Calcutta 
taken by Mr. W. S. Atkinson. In the British Museum Collection are both sexes of 
the tvet form from Sikkim, a male from Bhotan, both sexes from Shillong, Assam, 
the Khasias, males from Manipur (Dr. Watt), a male from Salween Valley, Burma, 
taken in November by Col. C. T. Bingham, and of the dry form males from Sikkim, 
Clierra Punji, Silhet, Assam, and Manipur. Mr. H. J. Elwes records it from Sikkim, 
“ the male is not uncommon at low elevations from April to October, but the female 
seems much rarer, and I have not seen more than two or three in Moller’s collection ” 
(Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 419). Col 0. Swinhoe records it from “Shillong and the 
Khasias” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 310). Dr. G. Watt obtained it at 66 Manipur and 
the borders of Assam” (Ann. N. IT. 1885, 341). Col. 0. H. E. Adamson writes, 
“ Taken abundantly in the Arakan Hills in April, also in Tenasserim in December. 
It has a habit of flying about the tops of trees, whence it descends to imbibe moisture 
from the damp sandy beds of streams ” (List, p. 43). Dr. J. Anderson obtained “ a 
single specimen of the female at Owen Island, Mergui, in January ” (J. Linn. Soc. 
Zool. 1886, 49). It is also recorded from Singapore (Weymer, lx.), also from 
Annam and Tonkin (Fruhstorfer, lx.).
