62 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
Sittang, in Tenasserim, in January, the Shan States, in January, and from Tilin Yaw, 
in February, March, and May. In the British Museum collection is the type specimen 
of Y. Marshallii—the dry-season form, from Mepley, Tenasserim. 
We have not seen any specimens of true Baldus from either the Western or 
Hastern Himalayas. Marshall and de Nicéville (Butt. of India, p. 216) state that it 
‘is found in the Western Himalayas in July; in Sikkim, from July to December; 
in Shillong, in March, April, and May, and again in July; in Lower and Eastern 
Bengal it is very common from May to July, and again in November, and probably 
throughout the year ; in Cachar, Mr. Wood-Mason took it in profusion from April 
to October; from Arakan, Pegu, Tenasserim, and the Mergui Archipelago, from 
October to March; specimens from Khandalla and the Coessi Ghat, in the South 
Konkan, were taken by Mr. G. Vidal at the end of March; and from Travancore, 
by Mr. H. Fergusson, at 2000 feet elevation, i March and April. It is found not 
uncommonly in the Ashamboo Hills, in Travancore, in the extreme south of the 
Peninsula, and through the Wynaad along the Western Ghats as far as Khandalla. 
We have no certain record of its occurrence on the East coast or in the Dekkan, 
though it probably will be found in suitable localities throughout the Peninsula and 
Central India. We have specimens from Manbhoom and Orissa, and in Lower 
Bengal, Eastern Bengal, and Assam it is one of the commonest species. In the 
Himalayas, also, it is found as far West as Chumba, and probably throughout the 
range Eastward; in Sikkim it is not uncommon; it is found in the Khasia and Naga 
Hills, Cachar, and in Arakan, Pegu, and Tenasseriin.” 
Mr. W. Doherty (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 120) records its capture “in the 
Kumaon Valleys up to 6000 feet elevation.”? In Sikkim, according to Mr. H. J. 
Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 325), it is “the commonest species of the genus at 
low elevations, from the Terai up to about 5000 feet. In the rains it is more abun- 
dant, and the form with ocelli well-marked is then the only one found, but the species 
occurs during the whole year in greater or less numbers; the cold-weather brood, 
which has the ocelli small or obsolete, agrees very well with those which Mr. de 
Nicéville has bred from eggs of Philomela in Calcutta.’ Mr. J. A. Betham (Journ. 
Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 1890, 158) says ‘“ the Yphthime are generally found fluttering 
about where there is grass, and flying in and amongst the stems; they are feeble 
httle things, and not difficult to capture.” 
Disrripution Oursipe Iypran Arna.—Mr. W. L. Distant, in ‘* Rhop. Malayana,” 
p. 56, has described and figured (pl. 6, fig. 9) this species (Baldus) erroneously as 
the Y. Methora of Hewitson, and on p. 57, pl. 4, fig. 6, has also described and 
figured a variety of the species as Y. Newboldi, both being from Malacca and Pro- 
vince Wellesley in the Malay Peninsula. Specimens of both sexes are also in the 
British Museum collection from Penang. In our own collection are examples from 
Malacca, Singapore, Sumatra, and Borneo,
