Show 62 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN [Jan. 14, 210. C. SINNIS, Mab. Pamphila sinnis, Mab. Pet. Nouv. Ent. vol. ii. p. 285 (1878). Hesperia weymeri, Saalm. Lep. von Madagascar, p. 107 (1884). Pamphila sinnis, Mab. Grandid. Madgr. vol. xviii. p. 361 pi. lv. figs. 1, 2, 2 a (1887). Pamphila albirostris, Grand. Madgr. vol. xviii. p. 361 (1887), pi. lvi. a. figs. 4, 4 a (plate not published at date of June 1st, 1895). Hab. Madagascar. I have the type of P. albirostris before me : it is the male C. sinnis, Mab. The characteristic sexual brand on the primaries shows that the insect is a true Chopra. 211. C. WAMBO, Ploetz. Hesperia wambo, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xlvii. p. 97 (1886). Hab. Africa (Ploetz). From the description this species would appear to be closely allied to mathias, Fabr. The description is not definite enough to base any very exact conclusions upon it. PARNARA, Moore. I have brought together into this genus an assemblage of species which are very closely related structurally, and seem to me to be more properly assigned to Parnara than to any other existing genus. At the same time, it is proper to observe that this arrangement is in some respects merely tentative. In several cases the species depart somewhat widely from the type, yet I am not prepared on this account to separate them, and set up new genera for their reception. 212. P. BORBONICA, Boisd. Hesperia borbonica, Boisd. Faune Ent. Madgr. p. 65, pi. ix. figs. 5, 6 (1833). Hesperia fatuellus, Wallgr. (nee Hopff.) K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. 1857 ; Lep. Rhop. Caffr. p. 48 (1857).

South Africa, Tropical Africa, both East and West, and the adjacent islands. This species is very common at Gaboon and at Cameroons. 213. P. GEMELLA, Mab. Pamphila gemella, Mab. C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. vol. xxviii. p. clxxxvii (1884). Hesperia ellipsis, Saalm. Lepidopt. von Madagascar p 109 (1884). r' Pamphila gemella, Mab. Grandid. Madagascar, vol. xviii. p. 359.
