the genus Ypthima. 15 
coalescing to form a pale brown cloud near the posterior angle of 
the fore wing; ocellus of the fore wing as on the upper side ; one 
small well-defined unipupillate ocellus on the hind wing in the first 
median interspace. Expanse, 34 mm. 
Hab. Sydney (Macleay) ; Queensland (in coll. Godman 
& Salvin); Aru, Port Denison (jide Hewittson). 
Specimens from Port Moresby, New Guinea (Goldie), 
in coll. Godman & Salvin, only differ in their smaller 
size, and in sometimes wanting the ocellus on the hind 
wing both above and below; this ocellus shows a tendency 
to disappear in a specimen from Queensland. The shape 
of the apex of the clasp bears some resemblance to that 
of Hibneri.
