Indian Museum, Calcutta, and differs from the type male specimen 

 from Cachar in possessing two minute semi-transparent yellow dots 

 on the disc of the forewing, and a similar spot in the discoiclal cell of 

 the hindwing on the underside, characters of no importance. The 

 true H. vitta, Butler, which is from Sarawak, Borneo, may be known 

 from H. coutteri by having the basal area of the hindwing on the under- 

 side glossed with green (rirescente) ; this is not found in H. coulter i. 



10. HASORA HADRIA, n. sp. 



P Hesperia badra, Butler (nee Moore), Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., Zoology, second 

 series, vol. i, p. 554, n. 3 (1877) ; Hasora badra, Distant, (nee Moore), Khop. Malay, 

 p. 374, n. i, pi. xxx, fig. 3, male (1886). 



Habitat: Perak, ? Malacca. 



Expanse : £ , 2 - l inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings as in H. anura, minis. 

 Forewing lacking the subapical yellow dot (this however is a trivial 

 character). Underside, both wings dull brown, not slightly glossed 

 with purple as in FL. anura, or strongly so as in H. badra, Moore. 

 Hindwing with a small anal lobe bearing a black patch, in FL. anura 

 there is no black patch or anal lobe, in H. badra both are large. 

 This species is probably variable with regard to the presence or 

 absence of a white or greyish spot in the cell of the hindwing on the 

 underside, and a white or greyish streak above the anal angle, as in 

 the two allied species above-named ; Mr. Distant describing a "var." 

 of this species as lacking these characters. 



I have not figured this species, as Mr. Distant has done so in his 

 " Rhopalocera Malayana." I have described it from a single male 

 from Perak in the collection of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, which 

 Mr. Distant ticketed " Hasora badra, Moore (var. )" I am unable 

 to say whether or not H. badra occurs in Malacca, Johore, 

 Java, Borneo, Celebes and the Philippines (localities given for 

 H. badra by Messrs. Distant and Butler). The true H. badra, Moore, 

 occurs in Sikkim, Assam, Calcutta (one female taken by Colonel Gr. 

 F. L. Marshall, R.E., in his room at midnight in February), Ceylon, 

 Chittagong, Moulmein, and the Andaman Isles (a single female).

Habitat : Bhutan. 



Expanse : $ > 2*4 ; $, 2 - 6 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings rich brown with a
