550 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
729. Baoris ( Parnara) cahira, Moore. 
Originally described from the South Andaman Isles. It has two 
spots in the discoidal cell and four on the disc of the forewing. I have 
specimens from Sumatra which agree with Mr. Moore’s figure and 
description of the species. I have specimens also from Sumatra which 
agree with Mr. Moore’s description and Mr. Ehves’ woodcut of Baoris 
austeni, described from Assam, which also has two spots in the discoidal 
cell and five on the disc of the fore wing. Again, I have other speci¬ 
mens from Sumatra agreeing with Mr. Moore’s description of “ Hesperia ” 
moolata, described from Upper Tenasserim in Burma, which has one 
spot in the discoidal cell and also five on the disc of the forewing. 
Lastly, I have specimens from Sumatra agreeing with Mr. Moore’s 
figure and description of “ Hesperia ” kumara , originally described from 
Canara in South India, recorded also from Mergui in Lower Burma and 
Ceylon by the author. It has no spots in the discoidal cell, but there 
are seven discal spots on the fore wing. As all my Sumatran specimens 
appear to me to represent one and the same species, I record them under 
the oldest of Mr. Moore’s four names. It may, however, be subse¬ 
quently found on an examination of the prehensores of the male that 
some of these species may be valid. In Sumatra B. cahira is found at 
Bindjei and Namoe Oekor in the plains, but is much rarer than the 
two foregoing species, but flies throughout the year. 
730. Baoris ( Parnara ) bada, Moore. 
Pamphila apostata, Snellen, Midden-Sumatra, Lep., p. 27, n. 1 (1892). 
“ Hesperia ” bada , Moore, was originally described from Ceylon and 
Malacca, and is figured in “ The Lepidoptera of Ceylon ” by the author. 
It has typically no spots in the discoidal cell of the forewing. Mr^ 
Elwes says that “ Pamphila ” [sic] mangala , Moore, and “ Hesperia ” 
bada , Moore, as well as “ Pamphila ” [sic] fortunei , Felder, originally des¬ 
cribed from Shanghai in China, are synonyms of “ Eudamus ” guttatus> 
Bremer and Grey, originally described from North China. In this I do 
not entirely agree with him, as I consider H. bada and H. fortunei 
to be distinct. Mr. Leech gives H. fortunei as a synonym of E. guttatus r 
and omits P. mangala and H. bada. I agree with him in so far as to 
consider P. mangala to be synonymous with E. guttatus ; the latter is, 
however, larger than (1*5 inches as against cf, L2 • 9, L3 inches), 
and has a different facies to, Id. bada. Leech says that Parnara guttata 
“ Can be easily distinguished from P. pellucida, [Murray, originally 
described from Japan] by its longer, narrower wings, and by the 
spots of the hindwing, which are almost in a straight line, while
