The following is a list, so far as we can make out, of 
all the described species of Ypthima not otherwise dealt 
with in this paper :-— 
Y. sakalava, Saalmuller, Ber. Senck. Ges., 1877—8, 
pp. 79, 80. 
Madagascar. 
Y. lewcobensis, ibid., l.c. 
We can find no mention of either this species or the 
preceding in their author’s work on the Lepidoptera of 
Madagascar, published under date of 1884.

‘“* Upper surface grey ; anterior wing witha very small black sub- 
apical ocellus pupilled with blue, and surrounded by a narrow circle 
of pale ochraceous; posterior with two subanal ocelli, like that on 
the anterior wing. Under side paler than the upper, with the sub- 
apical spot of the primaries much larger than on the upper surface. 
This spot is oval in form, with two blue spots on the black ground, 
and a broad ring of yellow surrounding it. Two bands of brown 
across the anterior wing; posteriors with six exceeding small 
ocelli, four near the anal angle, two near the external angle. ? like 
the g, except that there is but one small ocellus upon the upper 
surface of the secondaries. Two g,one ? in coll. Holland. Exp. 
13 inch.” —Holland, l.c. 
The figure above cited represents an insect with three 
subapical ocelli in a line, of which two are in cell 6, and 
one in cell 7; and four in a linear subanal series, of 
which two are in cell 1c, and one each in cells 2 and 3; 
but on calling Dr. Holland’s attention to the discrepancy 
between the description and the figure, he informed us 
that the description is correct and the figure incorrect ; 
the ocelli are really mere points, and placed four in the 
subanal series, and one each in cells 5 and 6.
