44. Hesperia cinnara, Moore, MS. 



This species will, I believe, shortly be described by Mr. Moore. 

 It is closely allied to the last, but has larger and more numerous 

 transparent spots, eight on the upper and three on the lower wing. 

 Like all the other Hesperidce in this list, it is a common Indian 

 species.
