A REVISION OF THE ORIENTAL HESPERIID^E. 285 



Fringes brown. Body above brown. Clothing of the second joint of palpi, breast, and 

 legs dark grey. Abdomen beneath brown. 



Expanse 45-48 mm. 



Hab. Halmaheira; Batchian (ex coll. Stqr.). 



Described from one pair ex coll. Staudinger. 



The band on the hind wing below resembles that found in Hasora hurama, Butl., 

 save that in the latter it is not interrupted in cell 1 b. 



Parnara DMA. 



Parnara uma, de Niceville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, p. 592, pi. xiii. fig. 9, ? ; Watson, Hesp. 

 Ind. p. 38 (1891). 



$ . Upperside brown : fore wing with a geminate cell-spot, and five others, one in each 

 of cells 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8, white. Hind wing below vinous brown, with a broad silvery- 

 white subcostal streak, adjoining at its apex the last of a postmedian series of silvery- 

 white subquadrate spots which commences in cell 1 b. 



Hab. Karen hills, Burma. 



The single specimen from which this species was described appears to be still 

 unique. 



Parnara philotas. 

 Baoris (Parnara) philotas, de Niceville, Jour. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1895, p. 402, pi. Q. fig. 60, 



Upperside brown : fore wing and hind wing each with two hyaline white spots 

 one in each of cells 2 and 3. Underside "thickly covered with 'old-gold' coloured 

 scales"; dorsum of the fore wing broadly dark purplish brown ; pale spots as on the 

 upperside. 



Expanse 30 mm. 



Hab. Travancore (Ferguson) ; North Canara (Bell). 



We doubt whether this insect belongs to the genus Parnara. The figure shows the 

 colour of the underside to be dull greenish ochreous. 



Parnara unicolor. 



Baoris unicolor, Distant, Rhop. Mai. p. 381, pi. xxxv. tig. 11, tf (1886). 



Hab. Malacca (Eichhorn) 



Through the kindness of Dr. Staudinger we have had the opportunity of making 

 a critical examination of the unique type of this species. The specimen is a male and 

 a true Parnara in venation and in the number and position of the tibial spurs. At 

 the base of the fore wing above, between the dorsum and the submedian, there is a long 

 raised space about equal in length to one-fifth of the dorsum ; this is probably a sex- 

 mark and confined to the male. In the fore wing the first median segment is about 

 two and a half times as long as the second, which is a little more than twice as long as
