282 L. de Niceville — List of the Butterflies of the Ke Isles. [No. 2 r 



Abdomen yellow, narrowly banded with black. Female differs from 

 the male only in having the wings broader, and the apex of the forewiny 

 less produced. 



Described by de Mceville from six male and one female specimens. 

 Tt is an easily recognised species, is the smallest of the yellow and 

 black species occurring in the Ke Archipelago, and is not named here as 

 it is probably known already from neighbouring islands. It is near to* 

 P. msesoides, Butler, described from Malacca, and figured by Moore from 

 Ceylon, but is much smaller, and differs a good deal in the details of 

 the markings. 



122. Baoris (Chapra) mathias, Fabricius. 



The form of this species occurring in the Ke Isles has in the niale 

 only two most minute dots in the median interspaces in the forewing r 

 on the underside of the hindwing the discal spots are also very small ; 

 the female is normal. G. agna, Moore, has the spots smaller than. 

 C. mathias, the present form has them smaller still. It is a common 

 species on Little Ke Island. 



323. Baoris {Parnara) philippina, Herrich-Schaffer. 



This species has no spots in the discoidal cell of the forewing, 

 there is a discal series normally of seven spots, but several of the 

 anterior ones are often wanting, in an extreme form there are only two- 

 spots in all placed in the median interspaces. It is a common species 

 on Little Ke Island. 



124. * Baoris {Parnara) larika, Pagenstecher. 



Rober records this species from Key as Pamphila larika. It was 

 described from Amboina (Jahr. des Nass. Ver. fur Natur., vol. xxxvii, 

 p. 207, pi. vii, fig. 1, female (1884). It is evidently closely allied to the 

 preceding species, but has all the spots on the upperside of the forewing 

 larger. Doubtless Herr Rober did not know Parnara philippina, Herrich- 

 Schaffer, or he would have so named his specimens from Ke. It is very 

 doubtful if two such closely allied species as P. philippina and P. larika 

 are found in the Ke Archipelago, even if they be really distinct. 



325. Hasora doleschallti, Felder. 



Rober as Ismene doleschalli [sic !]. This beautiful species was 

 originally described from the Moluccas. It is rather rare on Little and 

 Great Ke Islands. The opposite sexes do not differ in markings and 

 coloration. Kuhn has bred it, but has not sent de Niceville a descrip- 

 tion of its transformations.
