the genus Ypthima. 39 
already figured, though not yet published it as Doherty, 
we have adopted his name to avoid a synonym.

In its typical form this species is easily separable by 
the characters given in the table above, but it shares 
with methorina a tendency in certain individuals to recede 
more or less from the type; the form of the clasp, how- 
ever, will distinguish it from methorina and picta.

The ¢ differs from Dohertyi, on the upper side, in the 
darker brown colour, and in the ocellar space of the 
hind wing not being appreciably paler than the re- 
mainder ; on the under side of the hind wing the indi- 
cation of an irregular whitish band just before the sub- 
anal series of ocelli, and just beyond the subapical pair, 
is said to be characteristic. We have seen no female 
of this. 
Y. methorina differs from methora by having a distinct 
sex-mark, by the coarser striolation, and a whitish band 
on the under side.

We have a pair of specimens from Mao, Manipur, 
7000 ft., marked by Doherty methora? and methora 
var. ?, which we cannot identify with any other species. 
Though they come extremely close to methora in appear- 
ance, yet the clasp is exactly similar to that of Dohertyt. 
As we have no other species of this group from the 
same neighbourhood, we are inclined to think it may be 
a distinct species, in which case it may be called per- 
sumilis. 
The following is a detailed description of these speci- 
mens :—
