Hesperia moolata, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 843. Baoris moolata, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 379, t. xxxiv. 10 o*. Two males from Perak, which agree with Distant's figure and with specimens from Pulo Laut, Borneo. I have not, however, been able to compare them with specimens from Tenasserim, whence the type came. The species seems nearest to P. austeni, but may be distinguished from that, and from all other species in my collection, by the dark chocolate colour of the underside. PARNARA PAGANA. P. pagana, de Nicev. P. Z. S. 1887, p. 465, t. xl. 7. Doherty sent specimens from the Karen Hills which agree with Sikkim examples of P.pagana, except that there are only two instead of three apical spots. They also agree with some Andaman specimens which I have as P. cahira, Moore. I am not at all sure whether the two are distinct, as I have others from Perak, Calcutta, and Moulmein, which all seem to belong to the same species. PARNARA MIOSTICTA. P. miosticta, de Nice'v. Journ. Bomb. N. H. Soc. vol vi no •} (1891), p. 385, t. G. fig. 31 3. A single specimen from Perak, which has been described and figured by de Niceville as above. PARNARA GUTTATA. Eudamus guttatus, Brem. & Grey, Schmett. Nordl. China's, p. Pamphila mangala, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 792. Specimens from the Naga Hills agree with those from Sikkim. PARNARA BEVANI. Hesperia bevani, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 688. Parnara bevani, Elwes, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, p. 447. 2. Occurs in the Naga Hills. PARNARA PUGNANS. t G SMT*' deNiCeV J°Urn' Bomb' Nat* Hist< Soc- 1891> Taken at Perak, where it seems to be not uncommon. PARNARA PLEBEIA. P. plebeia, de Nicev. P. Z. S. 1887, p. 466, t. xl. 2 3 A single male from Karen Hills, which agrees with Sikkim examples in my collection. »«*uu ex- |
