in coll. Godman & Salvin; Delagoa Bay (in coll. Hewit- 
son). Type in coll. Godman & Salvin. 
This species may be separated at a glance from Y. 
doleta by the difference in the upper side of the fore 
wing; in the former the ground colour is even in tint 
from the base to the ocellar area, the inner limit of 
which is scarcely darker than the ground colour; in the 
latter the inner limit of the ocellar area is defined by a 
narrow irregular band as dark as that which limits it 
beyond the ocellus. 
The clasp of this species resembles that of pandocus 
in its elongate and twisted form, but it is gradually 
widened to its subtruncate apex; in ultimate structure 
the clasp has a small oblong serrulate plate on one side 
just below the apex, and the edge of the latter is serru- 
late.

3. Upper side pale brown, with a somewhat mottled appear- 
ance, owing to the thin texture of the wings allowing the striolation 
of the under side to be faintly seen; fore wing with one large bi- 
pupilled ocellus, the suboval pale ocellar space as well defined 
before the ocellus as beyond it, the dark line limiting it on all sides 
except the costa widened towards the posterior angle ; hind wing 
with one ocellus in the first median interspace, and two (or three) 
minute supplementary ones near it; ocellar space limited inwardly 
by a narrow irregular dark brown band, and outwardly by a dark 
submarginal line, which is attenuate towards each end; the sub- 
apical ocellus proper to the under side is sometimes visible on the 
upper surface. Under side exactly similar to that of impuwra, save 
that there is on the hind wings an indication of a narrow irregular 
brown post-median band, which coincides with the dark brown 
band which forms the inner limit of the ocellar space on the upper 
surface. Expanse, 37—40 mm.

The clasp in this species is altogether unlike that of 
impura, Which is otherwise its nearest ally.
