With this species in the British Museum collection is 
a specimen from Java, and another from Amboyna, to 
both of which the above remarks will apply, though they 
have the ocellus, which is wanting in the type. 
Y. argillosa, Snellen, Tijdsch. voor Ent. xxxv., p. 133 
(1892). 
This species is compared by its author with Y. aphnius, 
Godt., from which it is said to be distinguished by the 
want of an orange band or spot on the upper side of the 
hind wing. Under side of hind wing with six ocelli, the 
two largest in cells 2 and 3, two smaller in cells 5 and 6, 
and two, very small, in cell la. Expanse, 30—32 mm. 
Described from one male and two females taken in Java 
by Piepers. 
We gather from the description that the sex-mark is 
very distinct in the male of this species, but we much 
regret that our very limited acquaintance with the 
Dutch language prevents us from doing justice to this 
author’s descriptions both of this species and the next. 
Y. nigricans, id., t.c., p. 135. 
Compared by its author with Y. pandocus, M., from 
which it seems only to be distinguished by its smaller 
size and darker colour, in which latter particular it 
resembles Y.loryma, Hew. Expanse, 32—37 mm. De- 
scribed from five males from West Java (Buitenzorg, 
Mr. Piepers; Zandbai, Dr. van Bemmelen). It appears 
to fly in May, whilst pandocus is taken by Piepers in 
April, and it is considered by its author not to be a 
seasonal form of the latter. 
Mr. Hampson has been good enough to allow us the 
free use of a box of Ypthimas belonging to him, which 
have been submitted to Mr. Moore, and labelled by the 
latter with the names under which they will appear in 
his ‘ Lepidoptera Indica.’ There are many species, and 
with regard to all except the two mentioned below Mr. 
Moore’s views agree with our own :—Ordinata: of three 
$ specimens thus labelled, two are certainly singala and 
avanta respectively, as proved on dissection by the form 
of the clasps, and the third is also singala. Howra;
