Dans les “Indian Museum Notes” Vol. HE, 1894 N° 5. 
p. 118) ilest dit qu'en Août 1892 ‘specimens were forwar- 
ded by the officiating Magistrate of Saran of an insect 
known as ‘‘Sapta.” said to have been causing much 
mischief to young puddy plants : The imago was reared in 
the Museum and proved to be a Hisperid butterfly. The 
specimens have been kindly examined by M" L. de Nice- 
ville, author of the **Bulterflies of India," who identifies 
them with some doubt as belonging to the species Parnara 
colaca Moore. 
The excessive multiplication of this species appears to 
be somewhat unusual.”
