The " Plesioneura agni* mihi, should also be included in the genus 

 Tapcna, as the hind leg of the male is furnished with the bunch of 

 hairs typical of the genus. It is found in Sikkim, the Khasi Hills 

 (Rev. Walter A. Hamilton), and the Naga Hills (Mr. W. Doherty, 

 in collection Mr. II. J. Elwes). 



28. PARNARA PUGNANS, n. sp., PI. G, Fig. 30, 9 . 



Habitat : Malay Peninsula ; Island of Mas. 



Expanse : <S , 1*4 to 1'5, Q , 1*5 inches. 



Description : Male and Female. Upperside, both icings rich 

 glossy-brown. Forewing with eight semi-transparent lustrous 

 ochreous spots, viz., three minute subapical, the posterior the largest ; 

 two narrow elongated, separated by the third median nervule only ; 

 two in the discoidal cell placed obliquely near its end, the upper 

 the smaller, a mere dot touching the subcostal nervure, the lower 

 three times as large, touching the median nervure ; a large spot 

 in a line with these towards the base of the first median interspace ; 

 a streak of long hair-like ochreous scales in the basal half of the 

 submedian interspace. Hinduing immaculate. Underside, both 

 icings as above, except that the entire surface of the hindwing, and 

 the costa broadly and the apical half of the forewing are thickly 

 sprinkled with ochreous scales, giving the ground-colour a more 

 yellow appearance than on the upperside. Cilia and antcnnce concolor- 

 ous with the wings, the club of the latter below ochreous ; body with 

 long hairs, a little paler than the wings. 



In general appearance this species is very similar to Isotoinon 



iapis, mihi(Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. v, p. 213, n. 15, pi. E, 



fig. 9, male (1890), but the male entirely lacks the tuft of long 



black hairs attached to the inner margin of the forewing and turned 



underneath and forwards, which is characteristic of the genus 



Isoteinon, as well as the long hairs at the anal angle of the hindwing, 



which is also a male sexual character in I. iapis, being absent in the 



female. It also markedly differs from that species in having the two 



spots of the forewing divided by the third median nervule strongly
