88. Baoris (Pamara) philippina, Herrich-Schaffer. 

 Both sexes received. It seems to be common in Bum. 



89. Baoris (Pamara) contigua, Mabille. 



Two males of this variable and widely-spread species from Bum 

 have been received. In both examples the two spots in the discoidal 

 cell of the fore wing are well separated, but this is a very inconstant 

 feature ; in one specimen there is a single spot, in the other two spots 

 only, on the disc of the hind wing, the normal number being four. 



90. Hasora (Parata) celj;nus, Cramer. 



Originally described from what appears to be a male (though the 

 sexual brand is not figured) from Amboyna. I have both sexes from 

 Bum. The female shews in a good light on the upperside of both 

 wings a very magnificent plumbeous gloss, which is entirely wanting 

 in the male. The coloration of both wings on the underside is in the 

 female of a much paler and lighter shade than in the male, and green 

 instead of purple. Hasora violacea, Elwes and Edwards, Trans. Zool. 

 Soc. Lond., vol. xiv, pp. 297, 299 (1897), from Amboina, is said to be 

 allied to H. celsenus\ but the male differs from that species as identified 

 by me in having no sexual brand. 



91. Hasora (Parata) malayana, Felder. 



Two females only received from Bum. Like examples from the 

 Ke Isles, these Bum specimens are without spots on the forewing. 



92. Hasora (Parata) hurama, Butler. 



Both sexes received from Bum, which differ the one from the other 

 only in the presence in the male of the sexual brand on the upperside 

 of the forewing, this being absent in the female. 



93. *Hasora thridas, Boisduval. 



Described from Bourou as " Thymele" thridas by Boisduval. As far 

 as Boisduval's short description goes it agrees with the specimens I 

 have identified as H. malayana, Felder. But Watson says in Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. Lond., 1893, p. 128, that H. thridas comes into group A of 

 the genus in which the sexual brand in the male is either inconspicuous 

 or entirely absent, while the male of H. malayana has it conspicuous, 

 and comes into his group B.
