(lescriptiou I am disposed to consider that it is identical with the Japanese 
form of F. dara, i. e.flava, MuiTay, as that is the only species of Padraona 
met with in Japan. 
Padraona gola. (Plate XL. fig. 12, d .) 
Pamphila gola, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1877, p. 594, pi. Iviii. fig. 9, S ■ 
" Male. Upperside dark vinous brown : fore wing with an oblique disoal irregular sinuous- 
bordered golden-yellow band, the band bent before the apex and indented at end of the cell ; 
hind wing with a median discal golden-)-ellow band, and a few hairs of the same colour at 
the base ; cilia edged with golden yellow. Front of head, palpi, and legs golden. Underside 
with the bands as above : costa and apex of fore wing and the hind wing suffused with 
yellow ; both wings with a blackish streak at end of cell. 
" Expanse 1 inch. 
" S. Andamans." (Moore, 1. c.) 
I received one male example from Kiukiang, Central China, where it was 
captured in June. It is rather more fulvous on upper surface, but in all 
other respects it agrees with Sikkim specimens. The under surface of second- 
aries is rather darker than the type in Mr. Moore's collection. 
Elwes says that he has a specimen from Buxa, Bhotan, which has been 
identifi^ed as P. gola by Mr. Moore. Wood-Mason and de Niceville record 
thirty-seven specimens in both sexes taken in and around Silcuri, Cachar, 
captured between 25th May and 5th August. 
Padraona virgata. (Plate XL. fig. 15, d .) 
Pamphila virgata, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 47 (1890). 
Male. Dark brown. Primaries have a fulvous streak from base parallel with costa to beyond the 
middle, this streak is broken up by the subcostal nervulesinto linear spots, its outer extremity 
curving downwards, and terminating directly over four fulvous spots placed in the median and 
submedian interspaces, there are two more or less confluent yellow dashes in the discoidal' 
cell, and the base and inner margin are streaked with fulvous scales. Secondaries tinged with 
fulvous towards base, with some fulvous central dashes. Fringes yellow, chequered with dark 
brown. Under surface of primaries blackish, with centre spots as above, but the costal streak 
and discoidal spots are not so clearly defined, the apical half of outer margin is suffused with 
yellow, but the base is not sprinkled with yellow scales. Secondaries yellow, with some 
spots at the base, an indistinct central band, and two parallel transverse series of spots 
before the outer margin, black, more or less obscured with yellow ; the abdominal fold is 
streaked with blackish. 
Female. Similar in ground-colour to the male, but the yellow costal streak is ill defined, except 
above the one discoidal spot, the central spots are smaller, and all are pale in colour. Expanse 
30-32 millim.
