34 Messrs. H. J. Elwes and J. Edwards on 
want of dark bands on the under side of the hind wing. 
The figure which accompanies the original descriptions 
of ordinata does not represent the specimen which bears 
the type-label in the British Museum. 
39. Ypthima striata. (Pl. L., figs. 23, 24). 
Ypthima striata, Hampson, Jour. As. Soc. Beng., vol. 
lvil., p. 849 (1888). 
Under side white, rather sparsely striolate ; ocellar space of fore 
wing nearly concolorous, subtriangular, and open both to the costa 
and the inner margin, bounded on each side by a well-defined 
narrow dark brown band; hind wing with a narrow nearly straight 
well-defined brown post-median band, and in some specimens, 
particularly of the #, there is a trace of a narrow curved ante- 
median brown band, and the subanal series of ocelli stand on a 
brown band. 
Hampson, l. ¢., points out that the dry-season form of 
the $ has a slight patch of dense scales on the median 
nervure of the fore wing, of which there is no trace in 
the wet-season form, and, moreover, that the former has 
the ocellus of the fore wing very small and indistinct 
above. 
Hab. Nilgiri Hills, 8500 ft. (Hampson). 
“The wet-season form occurs commonly at about 
3000 ft. on the southern slopes of the Nilgiris in August, 
and the dry-season form in December and January. On 
August 25th of this year (1888)—one in which there has 
been hardly any rain on that side of the hills—I took at 
5000 ft. a single male with no trace of the patch of dense 
scales on the fore wing, which also had no trace of an 
ocellus; the under side darker,—the colour of Y. mahratta, 
Moore,—the fascize of both wings indistinct as in the dry- 
season form, the ocelli on the under side of the hind wing 
even smaller and more separated. 
‘The disposition of the ocelli and general appearance 
of the two forms is the same, as also that of the single 
male above described; and I believe them to constitute 
one species, which I suspect to be the one mentioned as 
Y. singala from Kumaon, and Y. thora from Ganjam, by 
Mr. Doherty, J. A. 8. B., 1886, vol. lv., part ii., No. 2, 
p- 120. The species is allied to, but quite distinct from, 
Y. singala and thora, which I suspect are two forms of 
one species.” —Hampson, I. c.
