Ypthima iris, Leech, ‘Entomologist,’ xxiv., Suppl., 
p. 57 (June, 1891); Butt. China, &e., p. 84. 
Y. dromonides, Oberthur, EKtud. d’Ent., xv., p. 15, 
pl. u., fig. 14, g (July, 1891). 
This large and well-marked species may be readily 
distinguished in the group having three ocelli only on 
the under side of the bind wing, by the extreme obliquity 
of the large bipupilled ocellus of the fore wing. 
Though we have at present no recorded cases of seasonal 
variation in this group, it seems to me that dromon, Ob., 
which I only know from his excellent figure, may be a 
dry or cold season form of iris, in which the ocelli are 
almost obsolete. Its habitat also strengthens this view, 
as I have previously remarked that seasonal variation 
does not exist in China to the same extent as in India 
(cf. P.Z.S., 1891, p. 267, note).

Ypthima Beautei, Oberthur, Etud. d’Ent., ix., p. 18, 
pl. u., fig. 1 (1884); Leech, Butt. China, &c., 
p- 85. 
A true Ypthima, with the under side almost that of an 
Hrebia, although two subapical and three subanal ocelli 
are generally indicated on the hind wing by black points. 
On the upper side it greatly resembles Y. ciris, Leech, 
but has normally only one subanal ocellus on the hind 
wing. 
Hab. Ta-tsien-lo, West China (Biet, Pratt). 
Grove VII. 
Under side of hind wing with an elongate-triangular 
pale post-median transverse space, which is widest on 
the costa. Ocelli four (or, by gemination of the anal 
one, five), one on the pale space in the first subcostal 
interspace, and three (or four) gradually increasing in 
size, standing on a dark band, in a line from the anal 
angle.
