the genus Ypthima. 29 
which has consequently a darker appearance than the hind wing, 
the dark lines limiting the ocellar space distinct, and separately 
touching the inner margin; striolation of the hind wing fine, 
irregular, and sparse, becoming gradually closer and more distinct 
towards the base; ocelli 6 in three pairs in échelon, variable in size. 
@. Under side as in the J; upper side similar to the same sex 
of Marshalli, but differs in the particulars noted above, and in the 
dark line which forms the inner margin of the ocellar space being 
straighter and somewhat more oblique. 
Although we have in the above description compared 
this insect with Y. Marshalli, the commonest Indian 
species of this group, it is most nearly allied to Y. Hors- 
Jieldu, Moore, from which, however, it is readily separable. 
Hab. Island of Sambawa (Doherty). There are also 
two specimens from the Island of Flores, standing under 
the name sepyra in the Hewitson collection in the British 
Museum. 
34. Vpthima sobrina, n.s. (Pl. L, figs. 17, 18). 
Ypthima philomela, in part, Elwes, P. Z.8., 1891, p. 267. 
3S. Upper side pale greyish brown, paler in the region of the 
ocelli, with a regular brown marginal band on all the wings; one 
bipupilled subapical ocellus of moderate size on the fore wing, two 
subanal, with another minute anal, on the hind wing. Under 
side greyish white, regularly and moderately closely striolate; a 
narrow submarginal dark line on both wings, and a more or less 
distinct oblique post-median dark band; ocelli 6 in three pairs in 
échelon. No trace of a sex-mark. 
?. Larger and paler than the male, the pale irrorate ocellar 
spaces on the upper side of both wings very conspicuous and 
sharply defined, and the two subapical ocelli of the hind wing 
appearing on the upper side. 
This is so close in outward appearance to Marshalli, 
that I should not have thought of separating it. It is 
also very near similis on the upper side, and the female 
might be referred to that species, but for the under side, 
which agrees exactly with the ¢ sobrina. Like affectata, 
it has no sex-mark, and the form of the clasp is dis- 
tinctive.
