the genus Ypthima. 41 
One of the commonest and most easily recognised 
species in the Himalayas, from the North-west to Bhutan. 
It occurs during most of the year, and is found usually 
at elevations of about 4—7000 ft. in the forest. 
We have seen no indications of a tendency to lose the 
ocelli, except in a S from Bhutan and a ? from Ber- 
nardmyo; but in both these the ocelli, though smaller 
than usual, are quite distinct. Specimens from Murree 
(niked) are usually smaller and paler coloured than those 
from the East, but true sakra also occurs in the North- 
west Himalayas.

Group VI. 
Rather large species, characterised by the great ob- 
liquity of the large suboval bipupilled ocellus on the 
fore wing.

Easily recognised amongst all the species known to us 
which have four ocelli only on the under side of the hind 
wing, by its superior size, and the very large bipupilled 
subapical ocellus on the under side of the hind wing, 
which is nearly twice as large as any of the others on the 
same wing.
