Hesperia guttata Bren, 
Antenna: Club short and stout, terminal crook very 
short, tip acuminate. Pulpi as in Baoris. 
Fore wing: inner margin longer than outer margin 
cell less than two thirds the length of costa; vein 12 
reaching costa well before end of cell; upper discocel- 
lular minute, middle very long, lower very short; vein 5 
from close to bottom of cell; neuration entirely as in 
Baoris. Hind tibia with two pairs of spurs. Male in some 
species, with a linear discal streak on the fore wing. 
situated obliquely between veins 2 and 1, 
Watson ajoute (1. e. p. 105.) 
The sole difference between the two genera Chapra 
and Parnara is the presence or absence of the sexual 
streak, of the fore wing, a character which is certainly of 
no value in this genus, as it would assign two such 
closely allied species as borbonica and Mathias to two 
separate genera. 
This genus 1s closely allied lo Baoris from which it 
may be separated by the shape of the antennal club.
