41. Ypthima methora. (Pl. IL, fig. 29). 
Ypthima methora, Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soe. Lond., 
ger. ili., vol. ii., p. 291, pl. xviii., fig. 20 (1864) ; 
Elwes, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1888, p. 326, 
nec Elwes, P.Z.S., 1891, p. 267. 
g. Upper side similar to Dohertyi, but in some examples 
darker and warmer in tint; no trace of a sex-mark. Under side 
pale brown, closely, evenly, and finely striolate, a feeble oblique 
yellow-brown post-median band, and a. narrow submarginal line on 
fore wing, and a post-median dark band on the hind wing; ocelli 
on the latter six in three pairs, small or large. 
@. On the under side like the gf, on the upper similar to 2 
Dohertyi, but with the ocelli on the hind wing less developed. 
The specimens with large ocelli, taken in the rainy 
season, are darker in colour than the dry season form, 
and in one 3, not otherwise aberrant, the ocellus of the 
fore wing is exaggerated to afford room for a third 
minute pupil below the normal two. 
Two of the three specimens in the Hewitson collection, 
one of which is marked N. India and the other Darjeeling, 
are this species; the third is Dohertyi, Moore. 
Hab. Sikkim, British Bhutan, 3000 ft., Feb.—Sept. 
(Elwes) ; Khasias, 3000 ft. (Elwes).

Y. methora, pt. Elwes, P.Z.8., 1891, p. 267. 
3. Upper side similar to Dohertyi, Moore, but rather greyer ; 
the general pattern has a blurred appearance, the sex-mark is 
much more extensive, and the ocellus of the fore wing has one 
pupil; but there is frequently a slight upward extension of the 
black part of the ocellus, and sometimes this extension bears a 
minute point of silver scales. Under side greyish white, striola- 
tion very fine and sparse, somewhat closer on the fore wing, which 
bears three dark bands, one straight, ante-median, scarcely reaching 
the costa, one post-median, oblique, not reaching the costa, and 
widened considerably towards the inner margin, and one sub- 
marginal, commencing near the posterior angle, and becoming 
evanescent at the level of the second median nervule or there- 
abouts ; ocellus bipupilled ; hind wing with three dark bands, two 
nearly straight, ante-median and post-median, and one submar- 
ginal, which bears the ocelli, and is widely interrupted between the
