seven small yellow spots, the second from the hind margin being the largest ; a small spot 
also at end of the cell. Underside brown, apex and hind wing speckled with olive-green 
scales ; a median disoal series of small spots on hind wing. 
" Near to H. cinnara. 
" Expanse, (S 1^^, 2 Ifo i"*'^- 
" S. Andamans." (Jfoore, I. c.) 
I have specimens from Chia-ting-fu, Western China, which agree exactly 
with some of the examples contained in a series in Moller's collection which 
have been identified as P. colaca by Mr. de Niceville. My Chinese examples 
all agree in the absence of the discal and inner marginal spots on primaries, 
and in the presence of the central series of spots on the secondaries. P. colaca 
as figured by Elwes is very different to the type of the species as figured by 
Moore. 
Elwes states that it is found at low elevations in Sikkim, but is not common. 
Wood-Mason and de Niceville remark: — "Many examples of both sexes in 
and around Silcuri, Cachar, from 30th of May to loth June, which agree 
with specimens from the Andamans of this somewhat variable species." 
Parnara thyone, sp. nov. (Plate XLll. fig. 4, 6 .) 
Dark brown, with an olivaceons tinge towards base of aU the wings. Primaries with a white 
spot at outer extremity of cell, three subapical spots forming an oblique series and two central 
spots ; in some specimens there is an additional minute white dot, sometimes there are two, 
above the central spots, and in other examples there is an indistinct white spot above the 
centre of the inner margin. Secondaries without markings. Under surface olivaceous : 
primaries have the inner marginal and anal areas fuliginous, and the spots of upper surface 
indistinctly reproduced : secondaries have a curved series of four small pale spots, but the 
number of these spots is variable, and in some specimens they are entirely absent. 
The sexes do not differ in colour or marking. 
Expanse 30-40 miUim. 
Allied to P. colaca, Moore, and P. beavani, Moore. 
Occurs at Kiukiang and Ichang, Central China, and at Ta-chien-lu and 
Moupin, Western China. 
I was formerly disposed to consider this species identical with Gegenes 
hainanus, Moore (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 703), but on examining 
the type, which is in the collection of Messrs. Godman and Salvin, I find that 
the specimen is so worn and faded as to be useless for purposes of comparison ; 
I could detect no pale spots on upper surface, but there were faint traces of 
central spots on under surface of primaries.
