A KEY TO THE ASIATIC GENERA OF THE HESPERIIDJE. 417 



Hesperiidce from India, but the names and descriptions «,re not now 

 accessible to me ; of the above species, all or nearly all are certainly 

 well known under other names. 



All other species are ascribed to what are believed to be their correct 

 genera, with the exception of " Isoteinon " flavalum, de Niceville, no 

 specimens of which are available for examination. 



"With the above-mentioned exceptions, it is believed that every species 

 recorded from Indian limits is included in the lists of species below, 

 excepting such as have been sunk as synonyms. Of the 230 species 

 enumerated in " Hesperiidae Indicse," the following are omitted, 

 having been wrongly included as from Indian limits : Car char odus 

 marrubiij Kerana gemmifer, Halpe beturia, Hasora hadria and Ismene 

 cedipodea ; Ampittia coras has been since described as Taractrocera 

 nicevillei; G. litoralis is sunk to G. albofasciata, A. subtestaceus and 

 A. khasianus to A. atkinsoni, A. nilgiriana and A. modesta to 



A. vindhiana, M. subfasciata to P. lebadea, C. consertus to C. asmara, 

 C. munda to C leucocera ; B. cingala to B. colaca ; B. farri and 



B. penicillalum to B. oceia, " Parnara " parca to C. cyrina, and 

 S. subgrisea to S. gremius ; while 0. sura, Z. flavipennis^ N. alysos, 

 H. sikkima, B. narooa, B. prominens, and S. subfasciatus are shown 

 under the older names 0. angulata, Z. ogygia, iV. feisthamelii, H. 

 homolea, B. conjuncta, B, sinensis, and S. pulligo respectively. On 

 the other hand B. andamanica, I. stellijer, and B. bada are separated 

 from D. bhagava, I. salsala, and B. guttatus ; the following species 

 described from outside the Indian region have been found to occur 

 within it : Charmion ficulnea, Celcenorrhinus aspersa, Tagiades 

 dealbata, Odontoptilum pygela, Hesperia poggei, Pamphila gemmata, 

 Suastus phiditia, Taractrocera ziclea, Pirdana hgela, Baoris 

 brunneaj Lotongus calathits, Lotongus avesta, Isma submacidata, 

 Acerbas anthea, Ismene etelka, Hasora chuza, Hasora chabrona, 

 and Hasora simplicissimi ; and the following species either have 

 been recently, or shortly will be, described from the Indian region : 

 Crossiura penicillatus^ Sarangesa sati, Satarupa dohertyi, Caprona, 

 alida, Caprona elwesi, Hesperia geron, Carcharodus swinhoei, Ampittia 

 maroidesj Taractrocera airopunctata, Astictopterm kada, Koruthaialos 

 hector^ Suastus bipunctus, Suastus robsonii^ Lophoides iapisj Notocrypta 

 necera, Halpe moorei, Halpe hyrie, Halpe fusca, Halpe astigmata,
