448 Mr. H.-J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
in Canara and Ceylon. I have a female from Coonoor, 
in the Nilghiri hills, named by Moore, which agrees 
with one of my seven females of plebeia from Sikkim 
almost exactly, but differs from the other six in having 
a spot on the under side of the hind wing between the two 
lower median branches. The male as described agrees 
with plebeia, except in having this spot, which I do not 
find in any of my five Sikkim males. De Nicéville does 
not allude to this species in his description of plebeia, 
though he rightly says that it is distinct from P. austent, 
cahira, and farri.

Baoris austeni, Moore, P. Z.8., 1888, p. 538. 
I have five males from Sikkim which agree with 
Moore’s description, though in three of them only one 
instead of two discal spots appear. I give a woodcut

(fig. 8) showing the typical insect, as no figure is pub- 
lished. It seems not uncommon in Sikkim, and is also 
found in Cachar and the Khasias. 
In this group there are also described Hesperia farri, 
Moore, P. Z.8., 1878, p. 688, from Calcutta and the 
Khasias; and H. cahira, Moore, P. Z.8., 1877, p. 593, 
lviii., fig. 8, from the Andamans. The latter, which is 
not constant in the number of spots on the fore wing, is 
hardly, if at all distinct, from austeni. I have two males 
and two females from the Andamans, a female from 
Moulmein, and a pair from Tenasserim and Tavoy. 
The latter was identified with P. moolata, Moore, P. Z.S., 
1878, p. 848, from Tenasserim, but as it is said by 
Moore to be allied to kwmara and cahira, whilst no
