bluish white spots, and tlie outer margin ochraceous ; this is also somewhat iiarvowi_y and obscurely 

 outwardly fuscous ; the spot is situate a little beyond end of cell, and rests on the two discoidal 

 and the first median uervules ; a submarginal waved fuscous fascia, and two marginal fuscous lines. 

 Posterior wings with a broad paler submarginal fascia, on which are three ocellated black spots with 

 yellow margins and ])luish white centres, the largest of which is situate between the second and third 

 median nervules, and the second and third are smallest, fused, and surrounded by the same yellow margin 

 and situate near anal angle and outer margin between the third median nervule and submedian nervure ; 

 a submarginal fascia and marginal lines as on anterior wing. Whigs beneath pale greyish, mottled with 

 brown, and crossed by two ill-deliued central subparallel brownish fasci<e ; ocellated spots as above, but 

 more distinct and brighter, and posterior wings having an additional and similar ocellated spot, situate on 

 the subcostal nervules. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings.

This species also exhibits the iiicoustancy of ocellated macular markings. lu the type 

 species described by Butler there was ouly one spot on upper surface of posterior wiugs, near 

 anal angle, whilst beneath the duplex one of the specimen here described was single. In 

 another Malaccan specimen in the British Museum there is a fourth very small ocellated spot 

 below the one at apex. 



Its nearest allied species is Y. narcda, Koll., generally received from North-Eastern India, 

 but probably with a much wider distribution.

Male. Wings above fuliginous-brown, somewhat mottled with greyish towards outer margins, and with 

 a distinct fuscous sul>marginal line. Anterior wings with a large and somewhat oblong ocellated spot, situate 

 a little beyond end of cell and placed on the lower discoidal and first median nervules ; this spot is black, 

 with an ochraceous margin, and with two inner silvery spots. Posterior wings with a broad paler 

 submarginal fascia, on which are two large submarginal ocellated spots placed between the median 

 nervules, and with faint indications of a third situate above discoidal nervule ; these spots are black, with 

 ochraceous margins, and with an inner central silvery spot. Wings beneath pale greyish, mottled 

 with brown, both wings crossed by two waved, irregular, narrow brown fasciae, the inner one obscure and 

 passing through discoidal cells, the outer one distinct and crossing at cellnlar apices (there are sometimes 

 faint indications of a third inner basal fascia). Anterior wings with the ocellated spot as above and with 

 a fuscous submarginal line. Posterior wings with six submarginal ocellated spots, of which the two central 

 ones are largest and the lower ones smallest ; the upper two are placed on each side of second subcostal 

 nervule, the third and fourth between median nervules, and the fifth and sixth near anal angle between 

 third median nervule and submedian nervure ; the upper two are also farthest removed from outer margin, 

 and the sixth and seventh are nearest to the same. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Hewitson described and figured a female specimen (from "North India") in which the 

 posterior wings exhibit on the upper surface five distinct ocellated spots. It would also appear to be much 

 larger than the male.
