2. Baoris narooa. (Tab. XXKIV., fig. 12 $ .) 



Hesperia nam,,,,, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 687; Wood-Mas. & de Nic. J. A. S. Beng. vol. l. p. 260, 

 n. 125 (1881). 



Parnara narooa, Moore, Lop. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 167, t. 69, f. 8, a, h (1881) ; De Nic. J. A. S. Beng. vol. lii. p. 99, 



n. 264 (1883). 

 Male and Female. Wings aliovo vinous-brown, the basal areas paler, fringe pale brownish-grey. 

 Anterior wings with the following very pale ocbraceous spots :— two in and near end of cell, three — small — 

 in almost upright series beyond cell and divided by the fourth and fifth subcostal nervules, five in oblique 

 discal series, of which the fourth is exceedingly minute and placed beneath the lower median nervule 

 (omitted in the figure here given) ; posterior wings with two very small pale discal spots — -three in female. 

 Wings beneath paler than above ; anterior wings spotted as above ; posterior wings with a small pale spot 

 at upper end of cell, and a discal series of four small pale spots. Body above concolorous with wings ; 

 palpi, anterior portion of sternum, and abdomen beneath, greyish-brown. 



Exp. wings, c? & 2 , 40 to 48 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India; Bombay (Moore) ; Sikkim (de Nic.).— Ceylon (Thwaites— coll. Dist.).— 

 Andaman Islands; Port Blair (Wood-Mas. & de Nic.). — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley 

 (coll. Dist.). 



This species seems closely allied to the Gcgcnes contigna and G. javana of Mabille, both 

 described as from Java,* and principally differs from the description of those species by the 

 number of the discal spots on the under surface of the posterior wings. 



3. Baoris chaya. (Tab. XXXIV., fig. 9.) 



Hesperia Chaija, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 791; Wood-Mas. & de Nic. J. A. S. Beng. vol. xlix. p. 242,

 Pamphila Chai/a, Mab. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxi. p. 37, n. 134 (1878). 



Wings above vinous-brown, the fringe greyish-brown; anterior wings with the following pale 

 ocbraceous spots :— a duplex spot within cell, two— small— beyond cell and separated by the lower sub- 

 costal nervule, and an oblique discal series of four spots placed between the nervules, of which the first and 

 fourth are smallest ; posterior wings with some very obscure pale discal spots. Wings beneath paler and 

 more rufous-brown ; anterior wings spotted as above ; posterior wings with a few small and very pale discal 

 spots. Body above more or less concolorous with wings; palpi and abdomen beneath greyish-brown. 



Exp. wings, 32 to 35 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India; Bengal (Moore) ; Sikkim (de Nic.).— Andaman Islands; Port Blair (Wood- 

 Mas. & de Nic.).— Malay Peninsula; Suugei Ujong (Durnford— coll. Dist.); Malacca (coll. Staud. ; Biggs- 

 coll. Dist.) ; Singapore (Wallace— coll. Godm. & Salv.).— Java (Horsf. & Moore). 



According to Mr. de Niceville, "this is the widest spread and commonest Hcsperiu in 

 North India, met with everywhere from the plains to 8000 feet elevation." t
