make it possible for others to know the species when 
they get them. 
Though an anatomical examination may possibly 
change this arrangement, I think it will be found 
accurate as far as it goes, and probably other insects, 
a now included in the genus, may be found to belong 
O it. 
The type of the genus is Hudamus guttatus, Brem., a 
Species which, though occurring in Japan and North 
China, has not been included in the excellent monograph 
of the Genera of Palearctic Hesperide, by Dr. Speyer, 
Stett. Hnt. Zeit., 1878, p. 167; and 1879, p. 477.

I have specimens from Shanghai (Pryer), Japan 
(Leech), Kashmir (Stoliczka), named mangala by Moore, 
from Mandi (Young), Sikkim (Elwes & Moller), which 
all agree very well. They may be known by the nearly 
straight line of four transparent spots on the hind wing, 
and the curved discal series of six or sometimes only 
five spots on the fore wing, as well as two, one or both 
of which are sometimes wanting, in the cell. 
Parnara bada, Moore, of which I have specimens from 
Cachar, Bombay, Poona, Sikkim, and Ceylon, and 
which also occurs in Malacca, is distinguished by the 
less conspicuous markings on the hind wing, usually 
smaller size, and absence of the two spots in the cell ; 
but I am not sure that these characters are constant. 
P. guttatus occurs in Sikkim up to about 7000 ft. during 
the whole season, and at Mandi up to 6000 ft. from 
April to October. It seems, however, to be commonest 
at low elevations. The female hardly differs.
