A EEVISION OF THE OEIENTAL HESPEEIID.E. 177 



bearing a dark brown line which defines the discocellular nervules. Hind wing 

 unmarked. Underside, both wings rather paler than above. Fore wing with the 

 discal band broader and paler, especially posteriorly, than on the upperside, the 

 discocellular dark line narrower and more prominent. Hind wing unmarked. Antennse 

 black, the apex of the club beneath paler. Palpi blunt, the third joint hidden 

 beneath the second. — Male similar to the female but smaller, the orange fascia on 

 both sides of the fore wing rather more obscure and narrower."

We have not seen this species. It will be observed that both this species and the 

 preceding are remarkable for the position of the third joint of the palpi ; in all the 

 Hesperiidse known to us the third joint of the palpi proceeds from the distal end 

 of the second joint and is not hidden beneath it. 



SUADA. 

 Suada, de Niceville, Jour. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1895, p. 370. Type siverga, de Niceville. 



This genus is distinguished from Suastus by having vein 11 of the fore wing 

 touching or approaching vein 12. 



The species known to us may be distinguished as follows : — 



1 (2). Hind wing above not marked with white siverga, de Nicev. 



2 (1) . Subtornal region of hind wing above in greater or less part pure white. 



3 (4). Fore wing fuliginous brown, without hyaline spots or, at most, with one 



or more of the subapical series. Hind wing below pure white, 



unspotted, narrowly brown along the costa cataleucos, Stgr. 



4 (3) . Fore wing above fuliginous brown, with three small hyaline white spots 



on the disc, one each, subequal in size, in the cell and cell 2 next the 

 base of vein 3, and one, smaller and triangular, in the base o£ 

 cell 3. 



5 (6). Hind wing below white as far as vein 7, thence to the costa brown; 



termen suffused with brown in the apex of cells 1 and 2 albinus, Semper. 



6 (5). Hind wing below white as far as vein 7, thence to the costa brown, the 



white portion, with some black spots, namely, one in the apex of the 

 cell, one near the apical third and one at the apex of cell 1 b, both large 

 (the former subquadrate) , and followed by some smaller ones in cells 

 2, 3, and 4, 5, the whole indicating a postmedian and terminal macular 

 band respectively scopas, Stgr.
