I only possess a single specimen captured in the southern part ot W. Java 

 near Pelabouan Ratou or Wynkoops Bay (+ i 50). Mr. Fruhstorfer obtained 

 it at the same place as well as In the mountains along the south coast of E. Java. 



Genus YPTIMA Hb. Westw. 



Small butterflies which fly close to the ground and whose larvae, as far as 

 known, occur on kinds of grass. They are partial to sunshine but they are 

 on the wing also when the sky is overcast. Characteristic in them is the great 

 apical ocellus on the fore-wings in which generally two blue dots may be 

 observed, being the nuclei of the two ocelli whose coalescence has given rise 

 to the larger eye-like blotches. In some specimens the two, although already 

 connected, are still clearly distinguishable but where their coalescence is further 

 advanced the large ocellus acquires consequently an oblong shape and the 

 greater the size of the butterfly, and with it the apical eye-like blotch, the 

 rounder does the latter become. In the cf it is usually smaller than in the ?.

Fruhstorfer distinguishes two forms of the present species: Gangamela 

 from E. J. and Eui-eithes from W. J. The former, however, I met with in 

 both sexes in W. J. and of the latter I received a cf from that entomologist. 

 I am unable to find any difference of importance between the two. Fruhstorfer 

 figures a particularly large $ of Eupeithes, not larger, however, than $ speci- 

 mens of Y. Pandocus Moore, which occurs in W. J.
