In

did not say how many specimens he studied, but he gave the above data for the type.
Three Elwes

Sikkim
came to
AMNH
with the
Rothschild Collection
, only one of which was collected in
January 1876
.
The
two paratypes
are
AMNH 579598

22 August 1870
, from Laghap,
13000 ft
;
and
AMNH 579600
, female,
April 1874

Sikkim
.
Ripley (1964: 45)
