of cell, curved strongly downwards ; vein 2 slightly nearer to end of 

 cell than to base of wing. Hind wing conspicuously lobate ; vein 7 

 ■well before end of cell ; discocellulars outwardly oblique ; veins 



2, 3, and 4 all close together ; vein 3 nearer to 4 than to 2 ; lower 

 margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2, more conspicuously at vein

 ters on fore wing of male.

Type, mat/lias, Fabr. 



Antennae : club short and stout, terminal crook very short, tip 

 acuminate. Palpi as in Baoris. Fore wing : inner margin longer than 

 outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 

 reaching costa well before end of cell ; upper discocellular minute, 

 middle very long, lower very short ; vein .5 from close to bottom of 

 cell ; neuration entirely as in Baoris. Hind tibite with two pairs of 

 spurs. Male in some species with a linear discal streak on the fore 

 wing, situated obliquely between veins 2 and 1 . 



Section A. — Male with a discal stigma.

The sole difference between the two genera Chapra and Parnara 

 is the presence or absence of the sexual streak of the fore wing, a 

 character which is certainly of no value in tliis genus, as it would 

 assign two such closely allied species as borbonica and mathias to 

 two separate genera. 



This genus is closely allied to Baoris, from which it may be sepa- 

 rated by the shape of the antennal club.
