BUTTERFLIES. 183 



586. Baoris (Parnara) bevani, Moore. 



Found at low elevations commonly during the rains. 



587. Baoris (Parnara) assamensis, "Wood-Mason and de Nic6ville. 

 Occurs commonly at low elevations from March to December. 



588. Baoris (Parnara) pagana, de Niceville. 



Common ; the native collectors sometimes bring it in consider- 

 able numbers. It occurs at Singla and at other places at a low 

 elevation. 



689. Baoris (Parnara) plebeia, de Nic6ville. 



When describing this species I carefully compared it with 

 "P«;'««r-a" kumara, Moore, and also described the differences in the 

 prehensores. Mr. Elwes says I do not allude to P. hmiara in my 

 description. B. plebeia is a common species at a low elevation in 

 Sikhira. 



590. Baoris (Parnara) austeni, Moore. 



Not rare; occurs at low elevations throughout the year, and is 

 found also in Western and Eastern China. 



591. Baoris (Parnara) tulsi, de Nicdville. 



Rare in Sikhim and in the Khasi Hills, common in Upper 

 Burmah, and is found in Java also. I caught the type specimen 

 below Darjeeling at about 3,000 feet elevation in October. 



592. Baoris (Parnara) pellucida, Murray. 



Better known as Parnara toona, Mooro, of which the var. quinque- 

 punda of Mabille, from Japan, is a local race. Very common at low 

 elevations throughout the year. It occurs as far south as Sumatra, 

 and has been described and figured by Mr. W. L. Distant as Baoris 

 chaya, Moore. It is found in Japan, Corea, the Km-ile Islands, Amur- 

 land, Central and Western China. 



593. Baoris (Parnara) eltola, Hewitson. 



Common in Sikhim from 1,000 to 7,000 feet, all through the year. 



594. Baoris oceia, Hewitson. 



Excessively common all through the warm months of the year, 

 and is found from 1,000 to 5,000 feet. It is extremely variable, and 

 has been called many bad names. It varies in the forewing being 

 immaculate through every gradation of variation till the maximum 

 number of eight hyaline spots is reached, and that in both sexes. 

 Colonel Swinhoc in his paper on the Butterflies of the Khasi Hills 

 tries to bolster up some of these inconstant forms which have been 

 raised to specific rank, but his persistent efforts in this direction 

 are not likely to be followed by serious lepidopterists. It is found also 

 in Western, Central, and Eastern China,
