THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 137 
Through the courtesy of Mr. Joicey I have been able to 
examine the genitalia of P. cahiva from the Andamans. From 
these it is quite clear that our form is a race of cahiva, as 
pointed out by Lt.-Col. Evans. 
222d. PARNARA (CALTORIS) CAHIRA AUSTENI. 
This is given as a Ceylon species by Elwes and Edwards 
on the authority of Mr. E. E. Green. I fancy it has been 
confused with the preceding as the clasp of our kumara is 
identical with Elwes and Edwards’ figure of that of austent. 
Apparently austen: differs from kumara in always having one 
or two spots in the cell of the fore wing, and I have seen 
nothing answering to that description in Ceylon. 
223. PARNARA (CALTORIS) PHILLIPPINA SERIATA. Parnara 
seriata, M. 
The type of philuppina is from the Philippines, that of 
sertata from Ceylon. Moore describes it as ‘‘ smaller than 
kumara, the spots smaller and less angular. Under side 
greenish-brown, not deep ochreous-brown,”’ 
Through the courtesy of Mr. Joicey I have been able to 
examine six specimens of phillippina from the Philippines, 
and also Mr. Edwards’ original dissections for Messrs. Elwes 
and Edwards’ work. The differences between phillippina 
and sertata, both external and internal], are very small, and 
I consider that the latter is, at most, only a local race, if 
it can be separated at all. The spots on the fore wing seem 
to be smaller and less angular in seviata. The prehensores 
are figured on Plate 5, figs. 45 to 48. 
Description of our form of seriata. 
Male—Expanse 36 to 42 mm. Spots on fore wing 
above in I, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. In two of my specimens 
there is also a minute dot in I, just below vein:2 In 
a few others the spot on vein I is almost obsolete. No spot 
in cell. Underside: Spots on fore wing as above 
except that there are always two diffuse spots in I. 
I have seen two specimens which showed a rudimentary spot 
in the cell which did not show above. Costa, apex of fore 
wing, and whole of hind wing brown, irrotated with 
yellow scales, giving a marked greenish tinge.
