1885.] L. de mcewiWe— List of the Tiutterflics of Calcutta. 53 



141. Gangara tiiyrsis, Fabricius. 



Not uncommon, flics in the evening, rests during the day, usually on 

 tree trunks, with closed wings. I have reared the larva on the date and 

 other palms. 



142. Baoris oceia, Hewitson. 



A single male taken in August of the normal eight-spotted form. 

 Mr. Moore has lately (P. Z. S. 1883, pp. 532, 533) described two species 

 of this genus from the Andamans and Darjiling respectively which I 

 consider to be only varieties of B. oceia, that species in the number of its 

 spots being the most variable hesperid I know, as previously pointed 

 out by Mr. Wood-Mason and myself in a paper on the butterflies of the 

 Andaman Isles (J. A. S. B. 1881, vol. 1, pt. ii, p. 259). 



143. Parnara kumara, Moore. 



A single male taken in February. Mr. Moore places this species in 

 the genus Baoris, but, as it lacks the large tuft of hair in the middle of 

 the hindwing on the upperside in the male which is the distinguishing 

 feature of that genus, it appears to be better placed under Parnara. 



144. Parnara narooa, Moore. 



A single male taken in the Botanical Gardens in August. 



145. Parnara farri, Moore. 



One female only taken in February. 



146. Parnara bada, Moore. , 

 Common. 



147. Parnara bevani, Moore. 



There is a single pair of this species in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, 

 taken by Mr. Nevill in February, 1871. 



148. SuASTUS GREMius, Fabricius. 

 Common. Larva reared on the date-palm. 



149. Chapra subochracea, Moore. 

 Rare. Taken in November. 



150. Chapra agna, Moore. 

 A common species. 



151. Telicota bambus^, Moore. 

 Very common at all seasons. 



152. Telicota augias, Linnasus. 

 Rare.
