134 Mr. A. G. Butler on Butterflies 



bordered externally with white as usual ; three decreasing 

 ocelli in a lilac nebula towards apex, as in typical L. diana : 

 secondaries with the zones of the ocelli and the submarginal 

 band silvery (or steel) blue instead of lilac, the third ocellus 

 reduced to a mere point. Expanse of wings 2 inches 4 lines. 

 It is possible that this may prove to be a beautiful variety 

 of L. WMtelyi ; but it differs conspicuously from our examples 

 of that species, particularly in the vivid coloration of the 

 ocellus-zones and submarginal band below. 



YptJiima evanescens, sp. n. 



Above like Y, Itsandra, below more like Y. zodia : wings 

 below white, densely striated with short brown lines and crossed 

 before the middle by two subparallel yellowish stripes, the 

 outer one angulated on the secondaries ; external border also 

 regularly yellowish, but paler than the stripes: primaries with 

 a large subapical yellow-zoned black ocellus with two silver 

 pupils ; secondaries with six very minute yellow-zoned black 

 ocelli with single silver pupils ; these ocelli are arranged as 

 in Y. stellera. Expanse of wings 1 inch 5 lines. 



One example. 



Argynnis paphioidesj sp. n. 



Near to A. papMa of Europe, but considerably larger, the 

 primaries more produced, the female always greenish above 

 (but not so dark as the variety-^, valezina), under surface 

 with the silver bands and border of secondaries much more 

 metallic. Expanse of wings, (^ 3 inches, $ 3 inches 4 lines. 



A long series of specimens. 



Argynnis locuples^ sp. n. 



^. Size of A. voraXj pattern and coloration of the upper 

 surface similar, excepting that the spots of the discal series 

 are more elongated, and the submarginal connected lunate 

 spots of the secondaries are rather broader. Primaries below 

 with silvery apical submarginal spots, as in A.jainadeva, the 

 darker markings on the apical area cupreous brown with 

 olivaceous margins, the discoidal markings smaller, otherwise 

 as in A. vorax : secondaries below similar in pattern to A. 

 pallescens^ but the ground-colour more golden in tint, and 

 the submarginal silver spots less sharply defined ; the disk, 

 between the series of ferruginous ocelloid spots and the green- 

 bordered silver submarginal series, is clear buff-colour. Ex- 

 panse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 



$ . Larger than the male, duller and greener above, with 

 all the black spots larger. Below with eight additional sub-
