1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin— Butterflies of Sumatra. 549 
724. Baoris oceia, Hewitson. 
Very rare, only a few male specimens taken near Bekantschan in 
March. 
725. Baoris ( Chapra) mathias, Fabricius. 
Snellen as julianus, Fabricius [sic], and julianus, Latrielle. Hagen 
as mathias and julianus. Butler as julianus. The “ Hesperia ” julianus 
of Latreille was described from Java, and appears to be a synonym of 
“ Hesperia ” mathias , Fabricius. This widely-distributed butterfly is 
very common throughout the year in the plains of Sumatra, especially 
so near Mabar. 
726. Baoris ( Chapra) brunnea, Snellen. 
Chapra csere, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. vi, p. 388, n. 31, 
pi. G, fig. 33, male (1891). 
When describing this species from Burma, I overlooked Heer P. 
C. T. Snellen’s description and figure of the species from Java. In 
Sumatra it is rare from Bindjei to Bekantschan in March, and again in 
October and November. 
727. Baoris ( Parnara) conjuncta, Herrich-Schaffer. 
Hagen. This is the “ Hesperia ” narooa of Moore, the “ Gegenes ” 
javana of Mabille, and the “ Hesperia ” alice of Plotz, the latter described 
from Mergui and the Philippines, of which Herr Gustav Weymer has been 
so good as to send me a beautiful coloured drawing of the type, which is 
a male, now in the Berlin Museum. It occurs commonly over the whole 
of our area and throughout the year. 
728. Baoris ( Parnara ) toona, Moore. 
I am unable to follow Mr. J. H. Leech in placing this species as a 
synonym of “ Pamphila ” pellucida , Murray, specimens of the latter 
species in my collection from Japan, from whence it was described, 
appear to me to be quite distinct from “ Hesperia ” toona . The upper- 
side of both wings in fresh specimens of B. toona is rich ochreous, which 
it never is in B. guttatus, Bremer and Grey = “ Pamphila mangala 
Moore. B. toona has been figured and described by Mr. Distant in Bliop. 
Malay., p. 380, n. 3, pi. xxxiv, fig. 9 (1886) as Baoris chaya, Moore, 
a species which belongs to the Chapra section of the genus. Hitherto 
unrecorded localities for the species are Trevandrum in South India, 
Java, and Celebes. In N.-E. Sumatra it is as ubiquitous as the last- 
named species.
