616 HESPERIID-E. 
Mr. de Niceville (/. c.) says: — "The Eev. Walter A. Hamilton, who 
obtained the two specimens above described, possesses the wings only of a 
third specimen, placed between talc, of what appears to be the mal« of this 
species captui'ed in the same locality. In the fore wing there are two small 
well-separated spots in the cell instead of one large one, the two spots below 
are smaller, the spot on the submedian interspace entirely wanting ; otherwise 
as in the female. This specimen does not apparently possess any secondary 
sexual characters. 
" 1 do not know any near ally to P. sarala. The shape of the wings agrees 
w'ith that of the species of the genus Parnara, the probable male having the 
fore wing less broad, the apex more acute, and the outer margin more 
straight and inwardly oblique than in the female." 
These differences in shape are not apparent in my male specimen compared 
with de Niceville's figure of the female. 
The species is here retained in Parnara, as it has been placed therein by 
de Niceville, but a new genus will probably have to be created for it. 
Genus BAORIS. 
Baoris, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. i. p. 165 (1881). 
'•Fore wing triangular, apex acute; exterior margin ver}- oblique; hind wing broad, very 
convex anteriorlj-, the male possessing a more or less prominent tuft of long hair covering a 
patch of raised scales at end of the cell. Body robust, thorax very broad ; club of anteuniu 
somewhat lengthened.

■' Alls fuscis : anticis maculis vitreis : posticis plaga ovali media rugoso-squamosa, setis longis 
nigris decumbentibus obtecta. 
'■ Upperside dark rufous-brown. Anterior wing with seven transparent spots : two, very small, 
within the cell, three between the nervures below these, and two before the apes. Posterior 
wing with a large tuft of black hair below the costal margin. 
'■ Expanse \^ inch. Philippines."' {Ueivitson, 1. c.) 
I have received this species from Omei-shan, Western China, and fiom 
Kiukiang, Central China. I took specimens myself at Foochau and Ningpo 
in AprU. All these agree fairly well with Sikkim examples in my collection.
