1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. 549 



724. Baoris oceia, Hewitson. 



Very rare, only a few male specimens taken near Bekantschan in 

 March. 



725. Baoris (Chapra) mathias, Fabricms. 



Snellen &s julianus, Fabricms [sic], and julianus, Latrielle. Hagen 

 as mathias and julianus. Bntler && julianus. The " Hesperia " julianus 

 of Latreille was described from Java, and appears to be a synonym of 

 " Hesperia " mathias, Fabricins. This Tvidely-distribnted butterfly is 

 very common throughout the year in the plains of Sumatra, especially 

 so near Mabar. 



726. Baoris {Chapra) brunnea, Snellen. 



Chapra csere, de Niceville, Jcrarn. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. vi, p. 388, n. 31, 

 pi. G, fig. 33, male (1891). 



When describing tbis species from Burma, I overlooked Heer P. 

 C. T. Snellen's description and figure of the species from Java. In 

 Sumatra it is rare from Bindjei to Bekantschan in March, and again in 

 October and November. 



727. Baoris (Parnara) conjuncta, Herri ch-Schaffer. 



Hagen. This is the " Hesperia " narooa of Moore, the " Gegenes" 

 javana of Mabille, and the "Hesperia " alice of Plotz, the latter described 

 from Mei'gui and the Philippines, of which Herr Grustav Weymer has been 

 so good as to send me a beautiful coloured drawing of the type, which is 

 a male, now in the Berlin Museum. It occurs commonly over the whole 

 of our area and throughout the year. 



728. Baoris {Parnara) toona, Moore. 



I am unable to follow Mr. J. H. Leecb in placing this species as a 

 synonym of " Pamphila " pellucida, Murray, specimens of the latter 

 species in my collection from Japan, from whence it was described, 

 appear to me to be quite distinct from " Hesperia " toona. The upper- 

 side of both wings in fresh specimens of B. toona is rich ochreous, which 

 it never is in B. guttatus, Bremer and Grey =" Pamphila " mangala 

 Moore. B. toona has been figured and described by Mr. Distant in Khop. 

 Malay., p. 380, n. 3, pi. xxxiv, fig. 9 (1886) as Baoris chaya, Moore, 

 a species which belongs to the Chapra section of the genus. Hitherto 

 unrecorded localities for the species are Trevandrum in South India 

 Java, and Celebes. In N.-E. Sumatra it is as ubiquitous as the last- 

 named species.
