280 MESSRS. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWARDS : 



P. kumara and P. austeni. Judging from the material in coll. Elwes, it appears probable 

 that of those females in which the cell-spots are absent from the fore wing, those which 

 have a white point in cell 1 a near the middle of vein 2 should be referred to P. austeni, 

 and those in which this spot is wanting to P. kumara. The female of P. moolata 

 differs from the male in having a white spot near the middle of vein 1 a in the fore 

 wing, and the female of P. cahira does not differ from its male in the number of white 

 spots on the fore wing. 



! Parnara robusta, n. sp. (Plate XXI. fig. 19, 6 ; Plate XXVII. figs. 88, a, b, c.) 



6 . Differs from P. cahira in its larger size, the want of a large suffused blackish 

 patch on the disc and a pale suffused spot near the middle of cell 1 a on the fore wing 

 below, the browner and less ochreous colour of the hind wing below, and the clasp- 

 form, as may be seen from the figures.

The female of this species has no pale spots in the cell of the fore wing, a character 

 which it shares with the females of P. plebeia, P. kumara, and P. rhypara.

We are indebted to Col. Swinhoe for the loan of his types of Caltoris onchisa and 

 permission to dissect the genitalia of the male. Having availed ourselves of this 

 permission we are satisfied that the male is P. austeni ; the female specimen, however, 

 belongs, as before pointed out, to P. moolata. The pale subapical fascia on the 

 fore wing below in the specimens appears to us to be the result of accident rather 

 than normal wing-pattern.
