CEYLON BUTTERFLIES. 179 
224b. PARNARA AUSTENI.—This is given by Elwes and 
Edwards from Ceylon on the authority of Mr. E. E. Green. 
I have never seen a specimen. 
As far as I can follow Elwes and Edwards’ work, the 
description is as follows ——Expanse 37-41 mm. One or two 
spots in the cell of the fore wing in the male, none in that of 
the female. Hind wing unmarked. No white spot in inter- 
space 1 of the fore wing of the male; a white point near 
vein 2 of the female. Under side: apex of fore wing and 
whole of hind wing reddish-yellow-brown. 
224c. PARNARA KUMARA 9.—A single battered female 
specimen. Very similar to No. 224, but the spots in 2 and 3 are 
larger, and there is a spot in 8. On the under side of the fore 
wing there is a small spot on vein 1 so diffuse as to be almost 
obsolete. Under side dark vinous brown. 
To sumupGroup A. Ibelieve Nos. 224, 224a, and 2246 only 
represent one species, and that that will prove to be a local 
race of austeni. The males differ from that species in being 
larger, and in having no spots in the cell of the fore wing. 
The females apparently differ only in size. No.224c may bea 
variety of No. 224a. Ihave only seen the one poor specimen. 
The markings of the fore wing answers to the description of 
kumara 2, in having no spot below vein 2 above; true 
kumara may, therefore, exist in Ceylon, though I have not yet 
identified the male. 
Mr. Hannyngton has sent me two pairs of a very closely 
allied race from Coorg. They differ from Nos. 224 and 224a 
in being smaller, and the female has a white spot in interspace 
2 of the hind wing only visible on the under side. The clasp 
is identical with that of our Ceylon race, but the tegumen 
differs slightly. 
Group B.—Under Side of Hind Wing Greenish-Brown. 
225. PARNARA SERIATA, M.; Parnara phillippina.—Moore 
describes it well, as “‘ smaller than kumara, the spots smaller 
and less angular. Under side greenish-brown, not deep 
ochreous brown.”
