180 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
Expanse 36-42 mm. Spots on fore wing above in 1, 2, 38, 
4, 6, and 7. In two of my specimens there is also a minute 
dot in 1, just below vein 2. In a fewothers the spot on vein 1 
is almost obsolete. No spot in cell. Under side: Spots on 
fore wing as above, except that there are always two diffuse 
spots in 1. I have seen two specimens which showed a 
rudimentary spot in the cell which did not show above. 
Costa, apex of fore wing, and whole of hind wing brown, 
irrorated with yellow scales, giving a marked greenish tinge. 
The fore wing is much narrower than that of No. 224. 
This is also classed as phillippina, though very unlike 
No. 224a in colour and shape of the wings. Elwes and 
Edwards say: “ We think the identification must remain 
somewhat uncertain.’ The clasp bears a resemblance to that 
of phillippina, but the tegumen is very different. See Pl. 6, 
figs. 9 to 12. In the very large number of specimens that 
I have examined I have found no variations in these. I 
have no specimens of phillippina with which to compare it, 
but it does not resemble the figures of that species in Elwes 
and Edwards’ work. It varies little, except in the size of the 
spots. 
It is found from sea level to 3,000 feet elevation. I have 
taken it at Haldummulla and Galle, and received specimens 
from Kottawa and Ratnapura. The native collectors can 
get abundance of males in the Kandy District, but seem quite 
unable to catch the females there. 
225a. PARNARA SERIATA 9, M.—Expanse 42-45 mm. 
Spots on fore wing in 1, 2, 3,4, 6,7, and 8. There is also a 
second very small spot in 1, just below vein 2. The spot in 
8 is sometimes missing. No spots in cell visible above. 
Under side : Two large diffuse spots in 1. Many specimens 
also show rudimentary spots in the cell, of which the lower is 
the larger. In ground colour and shape and colour of the 
spots it is identical with No. 225, and I am quite confident 
that it is the female seriata. 
I have taken it at Galle in the same localities and at the 
same seasons as seriata 3, and I have specimens from Ratna- 
pura and Balangoda. It is far rarer than the male, and I 
have only a poor series.
