I'-JO Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera 



the former collection, was forwarded under the same name. 

 Major Yerbury says of it: — ^^Ypthima avanta, De N., 07^di- 

 naia, B. Fairly common between Kala Pani and Abbottabad 

 and between Bugnoter and Abbottabad in September." 



Although the types of these two Ypthimas differ just as De 

 Niceville's dry- and wet-season forms are supposed to do, 

 they occur together in the same months, and therefore cannot 

 be associated as one species on that supposition ; whether 

 they are varieties or good species can only be decided by 

 careful breeding from eggs which have been deposited. They 

 differ as follows : — 



Y. ordinata. Y. avanta. 



Ocellus of primaries above large Ocellus small and mdistinct or 



and distinct ; below larger than absent. 



in Y. avanta. 



Secondaries below without any With two more or less distinct 



distinct bands. bands. 



Any one seeing only the types of Y. ordinata and Y. avanta 

 would believe them to be good distinct species ; but with the 

 series which we now possess before me, I confess to having 

 serious doubts of their distinctness ; at the same time there is 

 not sufficient evidence to allow of their being associated under 

 one name at present.

The ocelli on the under surface vary as much as in some 

 of the supposed dry- and wet-season forms of other species.

The male taken in September has a different formula to the 

 ocelli on the under surface of the secondaries, 1x3 instead of 

 2x3; the upper ocellus, however, has a projection behind on 

 the right-hand wing and in front on the left-hand wing ; the 

 ocellus of primaries also differs from the normal type in being 

 smaller and less distinct above ; all the other charactei-s are
