A REVISION OF THE ORIENTAL HESPEEIIDJE. 281 



Though we have no specimens from India or Ceylon, yet we think the plute in ' Lep. 

 Ceylon' sufficiently identifies the species, which has been hitherto known as narooa, Moore.

We have two females from Java sent by Herr Fruhstorfer under the name Hesperia 

 nondoa ; these correspond with males from Pulo Laut and Perak which are undoubtedly 

 P. guttatus ; the underside of all these specimens is darker and the arrangement of the 

 pale spots on the hind wing is less evidently rectilinear than is usual in P. guttatus, 

 and the cell-spots in the fore wing are entirely wanting. Further, we have received 

 seven specimens from the island of Bali, collected by Doherty, which vary very much 

 m the number and position of the spots on the hind wing, one of them being without 

 these spots either above or below. We were inclined to treat these specimens as 

 belonging to a distinct species, but an examination of the genitalia goes to show that 

 they are only extreme forms oi guttatus.
