This is the Baoris bada, Moore, of the second Kanara list, p. 45, 

 n. 204, placed by Messrs. Elwes and Edwards (I.e., p. 281) as a synonym 

 of Parnara guttatus. Baoris (Parnara) philotas, de Niceville, of the 

 second list, p. 47, n. 207, is believed to be a synonym of this species by 

 Mr. Bell, who says that starved larvae of B. guttatus produce B. philotas. 

 See also Baoris (Parnara) bevani, Moore, No. 239, infra. 



* In the second Kanara paper, pp. 42, 44, the food-plant of this species is given 

 as Teinostachyum. It should be Ochlandra. 



f In the second Kanara list, p. 43, Calamus Rotang, Linn. (Palmex), is given as 

 the food-plant of this species, but Mr. Bell informs me that this cane is not found in 

 the district, though Sir J. Hooker gives it from the Deccan Peninsula and Ceylon.
