Hesperid^ from the Indo-Malayan and African Regions. 25 



Hesperia haga, Plotz, 1. c, xlvii, p. 96 (1886), pi. 1416. 



Java and Manilla {Plotz). 



The white spots on intermedia from Java are more 

 pronounced than those on the Manilla insect, but the 

 size of the spots on the fore-wiogs and the number of 

 spots of the hind-wings are very variable ; I have an 

 example from the Philippines with the spots quite as 

 prominent and complete as those in the Javan example 

 figured by Plotz ; hada is only a small form of Parnara 

 guttata, Brem., from China and Japan, of which I have 

 many examples, but it seems to be a constant form 

 without any spots at the end of the cell of fore-wings, 

 and is common in India and the Islands.

Africa (Plotz). 



This certainly is a Paroiara and not a Chapra ; neither 

 the figure nor the description show any stigma ; it very 

 closely resembles guttatus, Brem.

Batavia (Plotz). 



This insect is unknown to me. 



Parnara poutieri. Pi. II, fig. 19. 



Hesperia poutieri, Boisd., Faun. ent. Madag., p. QQ (1833).

pi. 1398. 

 Chapra mathias, Holland (part), 1. c, p. 61. 



Madagascar (Plotz). 



Plotz's figure looks like poutieri, it comes from the 

 same locality and has no stigma, and therefore I think 

 Dr. Holland was wrong to sink it to mathias ; he does not 

 say that he saw Plotz's type.
