282 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEBS: 



in the darker ground-colour and smaller spots of the hind wing below, and also in the 

 form of the male genitalia. We have examined Mabille's types of contigua and scortea. 

 Hab. Sikkim (MoUer) ; Khasia {Elwes) ; Nagas, Pegu, Perak, Pulo Laut, Sambawa, 

 Bali {Bolierty) ; Hong Kong (Pryer). 



IPaknaea eltola. (Plate XXVI. figs. 79, «, b.) 



Hesperia eltola, Hewitson, Ex. Butt, iv.^ Hesp. pi. iv. fig. 40 (1869). 



Parnara eltola, Wood-Mason & de Niceville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, p. 384, pi. xviii. 

 figs. 6, 6a, 6; Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 45 (1891); Leech, Butt. China &c. p. 613 (1894). 



This species is distinguished from the next by the yellower colour of the pale spots 

 on the upperside, which is most marked in the males, and by having the apex of the 

 cedeagus, as seen from below, produced on the left side into a long sharp horn, and 

 the right side spinose. 



Hab. Sikkim (^^wes) ; Iffagas (Boh erf y). 



! Parnaea discketa, n. sp. (Plate XXI. fig. 16, d ; Plate XXVI. figs. 80, a, b.) 

 Closely allied to P. eltola, Hew., from which it difi"ers in the following particulars : — 

 d . Pale spots on fore wing above sordid white, that in cell 2 shorter in proportion, 



its inner and outer edges nearly parallel ; ground-colour of the underside and the 



fringes, especially those of the hind wing, paler. Apex of the cedeagus produced into 



two subequal spinose horns, side lobes of the tegumen narrow and simple. 



? . Pale spot in cell 2 of fore wing comparatively shorter ; underside, especially of 



hind wing, paler. 



Hab. Khasias {Elwes) ; Sikkim (Moller) ; Tenasserim (Bingham) ; E. Pegu, 



Bernardmyo, Burmah (Boherty). 



This species may be distinguished from P. eltola (with which it is probably mixed 



in collections) at first sight by the purer white of the pale spots on the upperside ; 



and the difference in the male genitalia afi'ords conclusive evidence of its distinctness. 



Parnaea pellucida. (Plate XXVI. figs. 77, 77 a.) 



PampMla pellucida, Murray, Ent. Mo. Mag. si. p. 172 (1875). 



Thy melicus pellucida, Staudinger, Kom. Mem. sur Lep. iii. p. 152, pi. viii. fig. 3 (1887). 



Parnara pellucida. Leech, Butt. China &c. p. 611 (1894). 



The ground-colour of the hind wing below is not sufficiently bright in Staudinger's 

 figure above cited. 



Hab. Japan [Pryer, Leech) ; Ussuri, Amurland (Borries, fide Stgr.). 



Paenaea jansonis. 



PampMla jansotiif, Butler, Cist. Ent. ii. p. 284 (1878). 



Parnara jansonis, Leech, Butt. China &c. p. 612, pi. xlii. fig. 12, 6 (1894).
