Note: So far, I have encountered the Constable, Dichorragia nesimachus deiokes, only once, and the Popinjay, Stibochiona nicea subucula, twice. On all three occasions, these two species from the Tribe Pseudergolini were seen quite briefly near running streams in hilly forested localities. D. nesimachus, the only representative of its genus, ranges from India and Japan through the Malay Archipelago to New Guinea. This species has been bred in Japan and its life history recorded.
