A KEVISION OF THE ORIENTAL HESPEEIID^. 277 



! Pabnaea beomus. 



Parnara bromus, Leech, Butt. China, &c. p. 614, pi. xlii. tig. 10, cJ (1891). 



We recently received from Dr. Staudinger two insects from Folo (1 in the Philippine 

 Islands), as PampMla phili2:)pina ; of these the reputed male is a female of P. bromus. 

 Leech, agreeing exactly with the description and figure cited above, and the female is 

 a .specimen of that sex of P. toona, Moore. 



I have great doubt as to whether P. bromus can be separated from P. philippina. 

 Leech's plate, which seems to represent a female and not a male, as stated, is 

 indistinguishable from a female of |jA?7/2J2jf««, from the Philippines, which I received 

 from Ur. Staudinger. Semper, however, states that pMlipjji na never has a transparent 

 spot in the middle cell of the fore wing, whilst Leech's plate and one of my specimens 

 show two. — H. J. E. 



The fact remains that m philippina the cell-spots of the fore wing are wanting, or, 

 at most, feebly developed, and the hind wing below is unspotted, and in bromus there 

 are two well-developed cell-spots visible on the upperside of the fore wing, and the 

 hind wing below bears a small pale spot near the middle of cell 2. We have not seen 

 any intermediate specimens. 



Parnaea cakaeaica. 

 Farnara canaraica, Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 534; Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 42 (1891). 



(J . Fore wing with eight white spots including two in the cell ; hind wing above 

 without markings ; hind wing below with two discal white spots. 



? . Fore wing with ten pale spots, eight placed as in the male and two in cell 1 a — 

 one punctiform next vein 2 near the middle, and one triangular next vein 1 a near the 

 middle; hind wing above with three discal semi-diaphanous spots; hind wing below 

 with four discal white spots and a fifth at the end of the cell. 



Expanse 38-47 mm. 



Hab. Canara ( Ward). 



We have not seen this species, which bears some resemblance to P. bromus. Leech ; 

 but that species has the two pale spots in cell 1 a of the fore wing above in both 

 .sexes similar to those found in the female of P. canaraica, and the latter species is 

 •well distinguished by the five white spots on the hind wing below. 



! Paenaea pagana. 

 Parnara pagana, de Niceville, P. Z. S. 1887, p. 465, pi. xl. fig. 7, c? ; "Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 40 (1891). 



All the specimens of this species in Elwes's collection have spots in cells 6, 7, and 8.
