Why de Nicéville and Watson should insist upon 
clubbing all the different Indian species of this genus 
into one under the name of Hewitson’s Philippine type 
oceia, it is difficult to understand, when they give specific 
rank to the numerous forms of Parnara recently de- 
scribed by the former; oceia, sikkima, scopulifera, and 
unicolor differ far more widely from each other than do 
the species of Parnara referred to, and are every bit as 
constant in their specific characters. Hewitson de- 
scribed a Philippine insect as oceia, and subsequently 
put every Indian Hesperid in his collection with the long 
brush of hairs on the upper side of the hind wing over 
his Philippine insect. Hewitson did the same thing 
with many others of his species,—witness Halpe beturia, 
as pointed out by Watson, P. Z.8., 1893, p. 110,—but it 
does not make them all one species. I have now before 
me seventeen examples of sikkima, being five males, two 
females, from Sikkim, six males, four females, from the 
Khasias, all identical with the type-specimens; three 
males and one female wnicolor, one from the Khasias, 
the others from Sikkim, all identical with the type ; five 
males, one female scopulifera, all from the Andamans,
