margin and between the median nervules. Underside of wings 

 pale greyish, mottled with brown ; ocellated spots as above, but 

 posterior wings having two additional smaller ones placed 

 close together near anal angle, between third median nervule 

 and submedian nervure and the small spot, as seen above, 

 much larger beneath. 



Expanse of wings 40 raillim. 



Hah. Province Wellcsley. 



Allied to Y. methora^ Hew., but differs in having five instead 

 of six ocellated spots on the underside of the posterior wings, 

 which have also a different and more unicolorous hue. 



Elymnias discfejxois, n. sp. 



Male. Closely allied to the male of E. undularis, but smaller, 

 with the rufous margin to posterior wings narrower and more 

 obscure. 



Female. Diflering much from the same sex of E. undularis, 

 smaller in size, the basal ochraceous shading to anterior wings 

 above less in area, the subapical and submarginal spots smaller, 

 blue instead of white, and placed much nearer outer margin. 

 Posterior wings above fuscous, becoming more or less dull 

 ochraceous on disk, and with a submarginal pale but obscure 

 spot placed between discoidal and median nervules. Wings 

 beneath pale testaceous, mottled with castaneous, with a very 

 broad, regular, and paler outer margin to both wings ; anterior 

 wings with a large, pale, angulated patch on costa near apex, 

 from which to base are scattered some small pale costal spots; 

 posterior wings with a white spot between first and second 

 subcostal nervules. 



Expanse of wings, J 60 to 68 millim., $ (one specimen).

This is clearly a constant race of E. undularis, differing 

 principally and strongly in the female sex. As other races of 

 this species have received specific names, it becomes necessary 

 to treat this form in the same manner.
