" ilagna, tota nigro-fusca (fcmina) ; alis anticis ad basim subolivaceis, eum 7 puiictis fcnestrato- 
albis ; quorum parvum unum in cellula extrema ad costam, tria approximata ante apicem, 
tria alia obliqua in disco ; sex ilia angulatam lineam efFormant. Alis postieis immaculutis, 
fimbria pallidc cinerea in mare, nigro-cinerea in femina. Alis anticis subtus concoloribus sed 
rufescentibus, et in fcmina intcnsius ; postieis rufo-fuscis, sinuatis, margine anali fiisco, cum 
serie discali sex puuctorum in mare pallida, in femina nitide coerideorum, puncto secundo 
extra sericm procedenti ad marginem externum." (Mahille, I. c.) 
The discoidal spot of primaries varies in size and is sometimes entirely 
absent. A fairly common species in June and July, up to 6000 feet, at 
Wa-ssu-kow, Chia-kou-ho, Ta-chien-lu, Moupin, Wa-shan, and Pu-tsu-fong. 
The type was taken by I'Abbe David. 
Parnara sarala. (Plate XXXYIII. fig. 11, d .) 
Parnara sarala, de Nicevillc, Bomb. Nat. Hist. Journ. iv. p. 173, pi. B. fig. G, ? (1889). 
" Female. Uppersidc, both wings dark bronzy fuscous. Pore wing with a large- medially 
constricted spot at the end of the cell ; an elongated spot at the base of the second media n 
interspace ; a much larger one towards the base of the first median interspace, its outer end 
concave, its inner end convex, anteriorly and posteriorly touching the second and first median 
nervules ; a comma-shaped spot in the submedian interspace, touching the middle of the 
submediiin nervure — all these spots semi transparent lustrous white ; cilia fuscous. Hind 
wing with a large oval pale yellow patch on the middle of the disc : and a small patch on 
the abdominal margin near the base of the wing ; cilia rich chrome-yellow at the anal angle, 
gradually shading off into fuscous anteriorly. Underside, both wings distinctly glossed 
with rich purple. Fore wing with the three discal spots as above, the one in the submedian 
interspace on the uppersidc developed into a large outwardly diffused white patch, occupying 
the middle of the inner margin ; a large chrome-yellow quadrate patch above the spot in the 
cell extending from the subcostal nervure to the costa. Hind wing with the oval pale 
yellow discal patch of the upperside developed into a broad anteriorly-increasing discal 
chrome-yellow band, extending from the abdominal margin to the costa, but with a break 
between the submedian and internal nervures. Palpi, thorax, and abdomen above and below 
clothed with bronzy-green iridescent hairs: antennae with shaft black, club broken off. 
" Expanse 2 2-0 inches. Khasi Hills." (de NicevUh; I. c.) 
I received two male specimens from Western China, one was captured at 
Moupin and the other at Omei-shan — both in July. 
These Chinese male examples differ from the Indian female specimen as 
figured by de Niceville in the following characters : — the spots on primaries 
are smaller, and the fascia on upper surface of the secondaries is whiter, 
narrower, and more widely interrupted.
