distinctive characters are given to separate any of these 
forms, I am inclined to think that some of them will 
prove identical. 
471. Parnara tulsi. 
Parnara tulsi, de Nicé., J. A. 8. B., 1888, p- 86, t. x., 
1, 
_ This species, which is rarer in Sikkim than either 
austent, pagana, or plebeia, is very like the latter species 
above, but easily distinguished by the dull purplish 
colouring of the hind wing below. 
Then we have two nearly allied but quite distinct 
species, both of which range through Bhotan to the 
Khasias on the east, viz. :-— 
472. Parnara toona. 
Hesperia toona. Moore, P. Z. S., 1878, p. 689, 3g. 
Parnara toona, Wood-Mason & de Nicé., J.A.8.B., 
1886, p. 388, 2. 
Not so common as in the Khasias, but found locally 
up to 7000 ft. from April to November. 
473. Panara eltola. 
Pamphila eltola, Hew., Ex. Butt., iv., Hesp., t. iv., 
fig. 40 (1869). 
Parnara eltola, Wood-Mason & de Nieé., J.A.8.B., 
1886, p. 384, t. xviii., 6, 64,3 
Common about gardens at 5000 ft. in Sikkim, and 
also in the low valleys and up to 7000 ft. during the 
whole season. 
There are some other species referred to this genus by 
Moore and de Nicéville, which I do not know, viz. :— 
P. ornata, Feld., W. M. & de Nicé.; J: A. 8. B., 1886, 
t. xvili., 7, 7a, from Cachar and Java, which seems 
nearest to assamensis. 4 
P. seriata, Moore, P. Z. S., 1878, p. 688, from Ceylon, 
which probably is the same as kumara ; and P. cinnara, 
Moore, from Formosa, which seems to have never been
