234 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWARDS: 



Parnara parca, de Niceville, Jour. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1889, p. 174, pi. B. fig. 10, 2 . 

 Pamphila meleagrina, Staudinger, MSS. 



Hab. Khasia (Hamilton) ; Kina Balu, Borneo (Water stradt). 



All the spots on both the Bornean specimens in coll. Elwes are smaller than in the 

 Khasia one, but there is no other difference. 



Unkana. 



Unkana, Distant, Rhop. Mai. p. 369 (1886); Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p, 123. Type butara, 

 Moore, MS. 



A genus established by Distant for Ismene batara, Moore, MS. 



Sexes dissimilar. Fore wing with the full complement of hyaline spots, i. e. a cell- 

 spot and one in each of cells 2 to 8 in both sexes. Antennae (in the male) more than half 

 as long as costa ; club slender ; apiculns acicular, about half as long as the club. 

 Palpi appressed, densely scaled; third joint blunt, very short, almost concealed. Fore 

 wing : termen in the male as long as or longer than the dorsum, cell 4 slightly narrowing 

 to the base, vein 2 from the basal third of the lower edge of the cell, transverse vein 

 oblique, base of cell 3 about twice as long as that of cell 4. Hind wing: termen 

 angularly produced at vein 1 b, cell less than half the length of the wing. Epiphysis 

 present ; hind tibiae fringed and bearing two pairs of spurs, the submedian pair small 

 and appressed. 



Watson, in his ' Revision,' places this genus (presumably after having examined the 

 type species) in his Pamphilinee, Section B, and Erionota in his Pamphilinag, Section A. 

 In his more recent paper, before referred to, he says that batara correctly belongs to 

 the genus Erionota, and sinks the genus Unkana accordingly ; but, since batara differs 

 from thrax, the type of Erionota, much more than thrax does from thyrsis, the type of 

 Gangara, there seems to be, even on his own estimate of genera, no good reason for 

 such a course. 



So far as we can judge, the Erionota (Casyapa) mabillei, Stgr., belongs here rather 

 than to Erionota, and it is placed in this genus accordingly.
