276 L. de Niceville— Butter/lies of the Kanara District. [No. 2, 



and from Pulo Laut Island near Borneo. Tn my collection are specimens 

 from Sikkim, and from Taungoo in Upper Tenasserim of Burma. Ifcs 

 occurrence in Kanara is I think doubtful, and Mr. Bell tells me that 

 he has no specimens of it in his collection. It has never been bred, 

 though Mr. Dell says that the larva, feeds on bamboo in the second 

 paper. The insect bred was not B plebeia. 



237. Baoris (Pamara) canaraica, Moore. 

 This species has never been bred. 



238. Baoris (Pamara) colaca, Mooro. 

 Soft, small grasses (Graminese). 



239. Baoris {Pamara) bevani, Moore. 

 Oryza sativa, Linn. (Graminem). 



Recorded in the first Kanara paper, p. 370, n. 79, but omitted by 

 Mr. Bell from the second paper. It is doubtless a wrong identification, 

 the specimens referred to being B. gnttatits, Bremer and Grey, n. 216 

 ante, though it may occur in Kanara, as Messrs. Elwes and Edwards 

 (I.e., p. 283) record it from Bombay. I have no specimens of 

 B. bevani from any part of South India. In Bombay Mr. Aitken says 

 he has bred it on grass. It is doubtful if he knew the species when he 

 wrote. 



240. Baoris {Chapra) sinensis, Mabille. 



Recorded as Chapra promnens [recte prominens~\, Moore, in the first 

 Kanara paper, (p. 371, n. 82), which is synonym of B. sinensis, the 

 larva feeding on " Some species of Arum." The species is omitted 

 altogether from the second paper. Mr. Bell says it is a wrong identi- 

 fication, and that the specimens so recorded were Baoris (Pamara) 

 conjuncta, Herrich-Schaffer. 



241. Baoris (Chapra) subochracea, Moore. 

 Oryza sativa, Linn. (Graminese). 



Grasses (Graminese), 



Mr. Bell thinks that this species and the following are one and the 

 same, in which I am inclined to follow him, as I have never been able to 

 separate them satisfactorily. The form with the underside grey, typical 

 B. subochracea, is never found in Kanara in the rains, and is probably 

 a dry-season form of B. mathias. Messrs. Elwes and Edwards (I.e., 

 p. 275 ) keep them distinct. They say that the form of the male geni- 

 talia is different in the two species,
