Genus Yphthima, §c. 293 
24. Yphthima Tamatave. 
Satyrus Tamatave, Boisduval, Faune Ent. de Madagascar, 
pl. 8, figs. 6, 7. 
Alis rufo-fuscis ; anticis utrinque ocello unico; posticis supra 
ocellis duobus ; subtus anticis apice griseo-undulato; pos- 
ticis griseo fuscoque nebulosis. 
Male.—Upperside dark rufous-brown. Anterior wing with the 
ocellus on both sides with a broad rufous-orange iris; posterior 
wing with two ocelli touching, all with silvery blue pupils. 
Underside. Anterior wing as above, except that it is undulated 
with grey near the costal and outer margins ; posterior wing grey, 
clouded and undulated with dark rufous-brown, crossed from the 
middle of the costal margin to the middle of the wing by a broad 
band of brown marked with a white spot. 
Female like the male, except that the anterior wing has the 
outer margin broadly dark brown, traversed by a line of pale 
grey-brown, and that the underside is more beautifully variegated 
(like Satyrus Semele.) 
The figure in the Faune Ent. de Madagascar is very much 
paler than any examples which I have seen, and gives no idea of 
the beauty of the insect. I have not seen an example with a 
third ocellus on the posterior wing, nor with the prolongation of 
the rufous spot, as shown in Dr, Boisduval’s figure.
