284 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEDS : 



Parnara flexilis. 

 Isoteinon flexilis, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1885, p. 147, pi. ix. figs. 9, 10 ; Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 85 (1891) . 



$ . Size of P. colaca or P. bevani. Upperside brown : fore wing with the hyaline 

 spots small, two in the cell, one next the middle of vein 1 a, one in each of cells 2, 3, 6, 7, 

 and 8, that in cell 4 only indicated on the underside. Hind wing below brown, clothed 

 with grey scales so as to give the appearance of a dark subterminal band. Fringes 

 brownish grey, the short scales whitish grey. 



Rab. Poona. 



These particulars are taken from the type specimen in the British Museum. This 

 is, we think, a very doubtful species. 



! Parnara zelleri. 



Hesperia zelleri, Lederer, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1855, p. 194. 



A little known, though very distinct species, easily distinguished by the black-bordered 

 pale spots on hind wing below. 



Rab. Beyrout, Syria (Zacli) ; Esmir, Busagha, near Tangier, Morocco ( Walker).

 Hesperia jolanda, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit. xlvii. p. 95 (1886) {fide Mabille). 



Rab. Sikkim [Mbller) ; Java (Fruhstorfer) . 



Though this species does not seem to have been found in any part of Burmah or the 

 Malay peninsula, I have a specimen from Java which is identical.
