only, beneath which are two descending dark lines to posterior margin." (Moore, 

 I.e.) "Uppekside fuscous. Forewing with a single ocellus on both sides. Underside 

 cineraceous, undulated with rufous. Hindwing with minute white dots. The only species 

 which has no ocelli on either side of the hiiidwing. On the underside some minute white 

 spots occupy the place where in other species the ocelli are placed." (Bewiison, 1. c.) 



We have never seen this rare species, and are at a loss to recognise its affinities ; the 

 entire absence of ocelli from the upperside of the hindwing occurs in other species only in 

 aberrant examples here and there, as in Y. siitgala. In Hewitson's figure (uncoloured) of the 

 underside of Y. narasiugha in the hindwing the striation is less dense at the outer margin, 

 and again across the middle of the wing, giving a somewhat clouded appearance on the sub- 

 marginal and basal areas ; but besides the undulations there is no indication of any other 

 markings whatever. On the forewing the dark line encircling the ocellus is remarkable ; it 

 is nearest to that of Y. asterope, but lacks the rufous space below devoid of undulations ; the 

 line starts from the inner edge of the ocellus to about the lower median nervule, where it is 

 continued parallel to the inner margin, then sharply curving upwards continues parallel to the 

 outer margin, disappearing before it reaches the costa, having a curiously quadrate appearance.

Description: " Upperside with only two ocelli, one being at apex of 'Cn& fo reiving, the 

 other on the hindwing near the anal angle. Underside yellowish. Hindwing covered 

 with short narrow undulated strise, with two anterior and two posterior ocelli ; a marginal 

 line and submarginal streak blackish." {Moore, \. o..) " Easily known from all the other 

 species by the broad submarginal line of brown on both sides, by the geminated oval ocelli 

 near the apex of the hindiving, and the ochreous colour of the underside." {Hewitson, 1. c.) 



The upperside is dark brown, slightly paler externally, and with a blackish submarginal 

 line, obsolete in the male, but prominent in the FEMALE ; the ocellus of the forewing is vari- 

 able sometimes rounded, with a single pupil, sometimes ovate with two pupils ; the under- 

 side is ochreous brown, the submarginal line prominent in both sexes. The ocelli are large 

 and prominent, black, with a single bluish-white pupil to each on the hindwing, broad yellow 

 iris and dark outer line. The uniform colouring of the forewing on the underside (the hindwing 

 only being striated), and the arrangement of the ocelli of the hindwing, a large geminated pair 

 at the apex, and another large geminated pair at the anal angle, render this species notably 

 distinct ; the nearest approach to it being some aberrant examples of Y. nikcea. The male has 

 no trace of the sexual patch on the forewing. T. hyagriva was originally described from 

 Darjiling, but we have only as yet received it from the Western Himalayas, where it does not 

 appear to be common. Mr. A. Graham Young took it in the Kulu Valley in August and 

 September.
