in P. pellucida the arrangement is alternate.” I have specimens of 
P. pellucida from Western China identified by Mr. Leech, and which 
agree with Mr. H. Pryer’s figure of the species in “ Rliopalocera Niho- 
nica,” pi. x, n. 11, female, also with Dr. 0. Staudinger’s figure in Roma¬ 
noff’s “ Memoires sur les Lepidopteres,” vol. iii, pi. viii, fig. 3, male , 
which further differ from E. guttatus in the forewing in the lowest of the 
three subapical spots being moved outwards towards the margin instead 
of being directly under the other two ; the spots in the discoidal cell 
are larger and not placed immediately above one another but obliquely ; 
and, lastly, the antennae are absolutely different, the shaft being half as 
long again as in E. guttatus , and the club elongated instead of being 
short and compressed. The differences in markings may perhaps be 
considered to be trivial unless shewn to be constant in a long series, but 
the difference in the antennae must be specific. But Leech gives 
“ Hesperia ” toona , Moore, as a synonym of P. pellucida, which is, I 
think, incorrect. Watson gives H. bada as a distinct species, and places 
P. mangala as a synonym of P. guttatus. In this I agree with him. 
H. fortunei is probably distinct, though placed by Leech as a synonym 
of E. guttatus , as noted above. As figured in “ Reise Novara,” Lepidop- 
tera, pi. lxxii, fig. 11, male , it has the antennae as long as P. pellucida , but 
differs from that species in having no spots in the discoidal cell of the 
fore wing, and the discal spots of the hindwing arranged in a straight 
line instead of being placed alternately. I would arrange all these 
names thus :— 
1. Baoris {Parnara) toona, Moore, from the Himalayas, Bhutan, 
Assam, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, South India, Sumatra, Java, 
and Celebes. 
2. Baoris ( Parnara) fortunei, Felder, from Shanghai. 
3. Baoris {Parnara) pellucida , Murray, from Japan and Western 
China. 
4. Baoris ( Parnara) guttatus, Bremer and Grey. 
Pamphila mangala, Moore, from the Western Himalayas, China, 
and Japan. 
5. Baoris ( Parnara ) bada, Moore. 
Pamphila apostata, Snellen, from nearly the whole of India, 
Ceylon, Burma, Sumatra, and Java. 
In B. toona there are always two spots in the discoidal cell of the 
forewing, usually conjoined. In B. guttatus, of which I have a good 
series from the Western Himalayas, Western and Central China, and 
Japan, there is sometimes a minute spot in the cell (probably this spot 
is occasionally absent altogether), or two spots, variable in size, but 
never conjoined. In B. bada , there are sometimes no spots, one, or two
