APPENDIX. 119 



pale rufous outer marn;iu — situate between the two lower median nervules ; posterior win^s having the 

 costal and outer margins somewhat broadly infuscated, and the male with a costal tuft of pale ochracious 

 hairs near base. Wings beneath fuscous; a dark waved and obscure narrow linear fascia crossing cell of 

 anterior wings, and two similar ones crossing cell of posterior wings ; both wings crossed beyond middle by 

 a violaceous fascia, beyond which on anterior wings are two large ocellated spots, the uppermost smallest, 

 both blackish, with white centres and narrow ochraceous outer margins, which are again surrounded 

 by an outer pale waved marginal ring; these outer rings approach one another, and at their prolongiitions 

 each contains an additional minute and obscure greyish spot ; posterior wings with seven ocellated spots 

 as on anterior wings, the tilth largest, the sixth and seventh contained in one encircling ring, and a more 

 minute and much more obscure spot above anal angle ; both wings with three narrow marginal pale 

 fasciae, the outermost fringe-like, the innermost broadest and scalloped. Body and legs more or less 

 concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 48 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinst. — ^coll. Ilibbe). 



This is another novelty captured by Kiinstler in the Perak district, and is in tlie collection 

 of Herr Ribbe, of Dresden, who forwarded it to me for determination. It belongs to the 

 section of the genus which has been genetically separated by Mr. Moore under the name of 

 Loesa. It is intermediate in form between the Javan .V. oroatis, Hew., and the .1/. surklui, 

 Marsh., found in Upper Tenasserim. 



Genus YPTHIMA (antm, p. 55). 



1. Ypthima pandocus var. corticaria. 



Ypthinia corticaria, antea, p. 55. 



Ypthina Pandocus, Moore (Horsf. & Moore), Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. vol. i. p. 235, n. 506 (1857) ; Hew. Trans. 

 Ent. See. ser. 8, vol. ii. p. 290, n. 16, t. 18, f. 12 (1865); Butl. Cat. Satyr. Brit. Mus. p. 149. u. 5 

 (1868) ; Marsh. & de Nic. Butt. lud., Burm. & Ceyl. vol. i. p. 223, n. 211 (1882). 



Since enumerating the above species under the name proposed by Mr, Butler I have 

 received long series of both typical Y. paiulocux from Java, and the form Y. corticaria from the 

 Malay Peninsula. The difference between the Malay and Javan specimens is simply that the 

 former have the under surface of the wings, and particularly the basal half of the anterior 

 wings, paler than in the typical form of the species as found in Java and Borneo. I have 

 therefore now placed the Y. corticaria as a simple variety or local form of Y. pandocus. 



To the former habitats given may be added — 



Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinst. — Calc. Mus.) ; Sungei Ujoug (Durnford — coll. Dist.) ; Singapore 

 (Kerr — coll. Dist.). 



2. Ypthima methora (antra, p. 56). 



Mr. L. de Niceville has communicated his opinion to me that tlif species thus identified 

 by Mr. Butler, and enumerated as such by myself in this work, is not typical Y. mrtJwra, Kvw., 

 which is a larger insect and confined to Northern India and Upper Burma. As I have nut 

 received a specimen myself from the Malay Peninsula, and only know it by the example fioni 

 Malacca in the British Museum (which agrees with Hewitson's figure in markings, thougli not 

 in size), it is better to leave it under this name, sul)ject of course to a further series of specimens 

 proving its varietal or distinct character. ?
