140 THE BUTTERFLIES OF CEYLON 
are normally spots in 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, but those in 4 and 8 
are often absent. I have one specimen with a spot in 5, and 
two with a linear spot on the lower edge of the cell, near the 
base of vein 3 On the hind wing there is normally a row cf 
four spots in interspaces 2 to 4, visible both above and below. 
I have two specimens in which the hind wing is quite 
unspotted above or below, and several with only one to three 
minute spots below. I have also two or three with five discal 
spots in interspaces 2 to 5, and one in the cell. The spot in 
5 is never in line with the others. 
The antennz are relatively much shorter than is usual 
in the Parnaras, and Mr T. R. Bell, I.F.S., has discovered that 
the larva and pupa shew a closer resemblance to those of the 
genus Padraona. The prehensores are figured on Plate 6, 
figs. 53-55. They are very distinct from those of any 
other Ceylon Parnara. | 
It is not very common at Haldummulla, but becomes much 
more abundant at lower elevations, being widely distributed 
through the low-country. I have taken it at Wellawaya 
Hambantota, Galle, Vavuniya, Jaffna, Mannar, etc., and have 
specimens from Kandy. 
Ismeneine 
227, ISMENE ATAPHUS, E. Ismene e@dipodea, M. Also 
found in India and Burma. 
I. edipodea differs in having the “ costa of the hind wing 
folded over on to the upper surface of the apex ” (Elwes and 
Edwards). Itis found in Java and Sumatra. 
Very rare in Uva, but well distributed. I have taken it at 
Ohiya (6,000 feet), Haldummulla (3,500 feet), and Hambe- 
gama tank (400 feet). It is fond of settling in the beds of 
streams, on wet rocks, or sand. I have specimens from 
Kandy. 
For prehensores see Plate 6, figs. 59 and 60. 
228. HASORA BADRA. Found also in India, Burma, 
Malaya, Dutch Indies, China, etc. 
I have taken a pair in my garden, but have seen no others 
in the Province of Uva. I have specimens from Ratnapura,
