ISMENE.— HASORA. 637 
I received one male spociincn from Western China. It was taken in Jnly 
at Monpiu. 
This species is allied to /. vnsntava, Moore, from Sikkim, bnt differs 
therefrom as follows : — the upper surface is darker, the orange fringes towards 
anal angle of secondaries are much narrower and paler, and there is an 
absence of subhyaline spots ou disc of both surfaces of the primaries. 
Genus HASORA. 
Hasora, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. inO (1881) ; ^Vatson, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1893, 
p. 127. Type, badra, Moore. 
Parata, Moore, Lep, Ceyl. vol. i. p. 160 (1881). Type, chromus, Moore. 
"Antennae: club thickening rather abruptly and gradually tapering to a fine point, bent beyond 
the thickest portion, usually at about a right angle, but sometimes almost into a hook ; the 
terminal portion not quite so long as the remainder of the club. Fore wing : inner and 
outer margins subequal ; cell less than two thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 roaehing 
costa almost opposite upper angle of cell; vein 5 nearer to 6 than to 4 ; upper discoecllular 
minute; middle and lower discocellulars inwardly oblique and in the same straight line: 
vein 3 almost equidistant from base of wing and from end of cell ; vein 2 nearer to base of 
wing than to vein 3 ; vein 1 distorted downwards near base. Hind wing produced into a 
lobe; vein 7 slightly nearer to 6 than to 8; discoccUulars very faint, outwardly oblique; 
vein 5 well developed, much nearer to 6 than to 4 ; vein 3 from just before end of cell ; 
vein 2 almost equidistant from base of wing and from end of cell. Hind tibias not very 
densely fringed, and with two pairs of spurs. 
" The female differs in vein 3 of the fore wing being three times as far from base of wing as from 
end of cell. 
" The type-species of Parata differs from the type-species of Hasora in 
being provided in the male with an oblique discal stigma on the fore wing, 
and also in some slight differences in the outline of the wings. These two 
characters, however, exist together only in the type-species of Parata, and 
we find other species with the discal streak of Parata and the outline 
of Hasora, or vice versa, while the streak itself appears in every degree 
of intensity, being sometimes very prominent and at other times barely 
traceable or altogether absent, the females in all the species being structurally 
inseparable. 
" This genus is represented in the British Museum from throughout 
India, Malayasia, the Philippines, Fiji, New Guinea, and Australia."
