nervure. Cilia slightly paler than the ground-colour of the wing. Hind- 

 wing clothed with long pale brown hairs in the middle of the disc. Cilia 

 grey. Undeeside. Forewing dark brown, the apex widely pale ochreous, 

 this colour decreasing to the inner angle ; the spots as above, except that 

 the pale ochreous one placed against the submedian nervure is absent. 

 Sindwing pale ochreous throughout, which is the colour of the cilia on 

 both wings. Body dark brown above, ochreous-white below. The female 

 resembles the male. 



The forewing of this species is very long and narrow, and differs in 

 shape from all the Hesperids with which I am acquainted. There are 

 numerous specimens in Mr. Moller's collection. 



39. Satarttpa bhagaya? (Plate X, fig. 14, ?.) 

 I have figured a female specimen from Sikkim which I refer very 

 doubtfully to this species. This specimen is not that female referred to in 

 the Journ. A. S. B., vol. 1, pt. ii, p. 256 (1881), which is very near to 

 the female of the variety named andaonanica, but another subsequently 

 obtained. The most typical specimen (from the description) of S, hliagava 

 contained in the Indian Museum collection is from Upper Tenasserim. A 

 male from Cachar entirely wants the brownish-white streak from the middle 

 of the posterior margin on the upperside of the forewing, three males from 

 Sikkim have the streak more or less obsolete, while another male has this 

 streak and the subbasal band across the hind wing as wide as in the female 

 now figured, and pure instead of ochreous-white as in all the other males. 

 The white band across the middle of the abdomen is also very variable ; it 

 is present in all the specimens of variety andamanica, in the Upper Tenas- 

 serim male, in the pure white-banded Sikkim male, and in both the Sikkim 

 females ; in the Cachar male and three Sikkim males it is absent, all the 

 segments of the abdomen being narrowly banded posteriorly with whitish. 

 The spot in the cell is small in the Cachar male, in all the Sikkim males 

 and in the Sikkim female figured ; it is large in all the Andaman varieties 

 and in the other Sikkim female. From the scanty material at my disposal, 

 I am unable to say whether these differences are constant and sufficient f or 

 dividing the specimens into species.
