of ochracea, but although larger this does not differ in any important 
character from the Amurland type. The under surface of secondaries is 
liable to vary in the male ; sometimes this is of an almost uniform yellow, 
and sometimes it is strongly tinged with green, and the pale spots are 
well developed. 
I met with this species in the Corea in June and in Central Japan in July. 
Oberthiir records it from the Isle of Askold.

" Antenna; : club short and stout, terminal crook very short, tip acuminate. Palpi as in Baoris. 
Fore wing: inner margin longer than outer margin ; cell less than two thirds the length of 
costa ; vein 12 reaching costa well before end of cell ; upper diseocellular minute, middle very 
long, lower very short ; vein 5 from close to bottom of cell ; neuration entirely as in Boaris. 
Hind tibiee with two pairs of spurs. Male in some species with a linear discal streak on the 
fore wing, situated obliquely between veins 2 and 1. 
" The sole difference between the two genera Chajjra and Farnara is the 
presence or absence of the sexual streak of the fore wing, a character which 
is certainly of no value in this genus, as it would assign two such closely allied 
species as borbonica and matldas to two separate genera. 
" This genus is closely allied to Baoris, from Avhich it may be separated by 
the shape of the antennal club.
