The entire description in JBNHS article ( *J. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. **4*(3) : 174 <http://www.archive.org/stream/journalofbombayn04bomb#page/174/mode/1up>, ) well matches with the photo. So, it should be *Parnara parca* de Nicéville, 1889, which is "Creteus cyrina (Hewitson, 1876)". I have isolated the literature about this species. People who are interested in this, mail me personally, as it is over 250KB.
