the genus Ypthima. | 
The insect which we have taken to represent this 
name agrees in every respect with the figure of Méné- 
tries above cited, except that the latter does not show 
the dark velutinous patch on the disk of the fore wing. 
It would be a mere waste of time to attempt to trace 
the full synonymy of this species, as we can only separate 
it with certainty from its allies by the form of the clasp ; 
but we have treated amphithea, Mén., as a synonym in 
deference to Staudinger’s opinion, as expressed in Rom.

Hab. Nagasaki, Japan; Fusan, Korea (Leech) ; Kiu- 
kiang (Pratt) ; Shanghai (Pryer). 
14. Ypthima imitans, n.s. (PI. IIL, fig. 53). 
3. Upper side brown; fore wing with a dark velutinous shade 
on the disk, coincident with the sex-mark; hind wing with an 
irregular dark submarginal line, one large ocellus in the first 
median interspace, and a minute geminate one near the anal angle. 
Under side greyish white ; fore wing with the pale ocellar space 
subtriangular, well defined, reaching the inner margin, and bounded 
inwardly by an oblique transverse brown band, which gradually 
widens to the inner margin; the dark submarginal line which 
forms its outer boundary scarcely so well defined; ocellus bipupilled, 
well defined; hind wing with the striolation becoming suddenly 
sparser on the distal half, which is therefore whiter than the rest 
of the wing ; an irregular submarginal line attenuate at each end ; 
ocelli 8, subequal in size, one subapical, one in the first median 
interspace, and one anal, the latter bipupilled. Expanse, 46 mm. 
Hab. Hainan. Described from a single example in 
coll. Godman & Salvin. 
15. Ypthima obscura, n.s. (PI. IL., fig. 35). 
3. Upper side fuliginous brown, with pale grey fringes, ocellus 
of the fore wing barely indicated, one well-defined subanal ocellus 
on the hind wing, the dark velutinous patch on the fore wing in- 
distinct. Under side greyish white, the striolation moderately 
close and fine, the latter on the distal half of the fore wing 
coalescing to form a brown cloud arising in the posterior angle and 
limiting the subcircular ocellar space; striolation of the hind wing 
closer in the basal two-thirds, and coalescing to form a submarginal 
band, which widens irregularly inwardly between the subapical 
ocellus and the one below it; ocelli 3, as in Motschulskyi, &e.
