82 Messrs. H. J. Elwes and J. Edwards on 
resembles argus, Butl.; it is, however, in its mere 
external characters sufficiently distinct from either, 
and the form of its clasp is perfectly characteristic. 
Under side greyish white; the striolation fine, even, and 
rather close, closer on the fore wing than on the hind ; 
the @ (in our specimen) with a faint indication of a dark 
marginal band, and a distinet oblique post-median dark 
line; ocelli 6 in three pairs, the uppermost of the sub- 
apical pair very small in proportion to the one next to it, 
the middle pair subequal and of moderate size, the anal 
pair very small and geminate; the middle and subanal 
pairs practically in line. 
The g specimen to which the above remarks refer was 
kindly sent to us as singala, Feld., by Mr. de Nicéville, 
and we have also examined a ¢ specimen from Kumaon 
in which the form of the clasp is identical with our 
figure. 
Hab. Bholahat (Irvine) ; Ceylon (Mackwood) ; Kumaon 
(Doherty). 
Y. thora, Moore (Lep. Cey., p. 24, pl. xi.., figs. 4, 4a), 
of which we transcribe the description below, is said by 
Mr. de Nicéville to be a synonym of singala, Feld., and 
in this opinion Mr. Hampson concurs :— 
‘‘Male. Upper side brown. Fore wing with a prominent sub- 
apical bipupilled ocellus. Hind wing with a small indistinct sub- 
anal ocellus. Under side cinereous, numerously covered with 
short delicate brown strige. Fore wing with a very indistinct 
discal and marginal band; ocellus prominent. Hind wing with 
five very minute ocelli disposed in linear order.’”’-—Moore, J. c. 
There is a single specimen in the Godman and Salvin 
collection, from Malewoon, Tenasserim, which we have 
been unable to identify with any known species, and of 
which we have figured the clasp under the provisional 
name of Hume (Pl. IIL, fig. 46). It has considerable 
resemblance to avanta, and has a well-defined sex-mark. 
It may be a form of singala like thora, but we have not 
been able to examine the genitalia of that form, and the 
clasp of the present specimen differs as shown from that 
of singala. 
The following are the distinctive characters of the 
specimen in question :—
