1886.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM WESTERN INDIA. 359 
“Common on the 25th September about Kala Pani and on the 
road between Abbottabad and Bugnoter.’—J. W. ¥. 
The incorrect identification of Y. avanta has been given to Major 
Yerbury for this species ; though common in India, it is a very rare 
species in European collections, as also is Y. avanta—a smaller 
Butterfly, more nearly resembling Y. newboldi in form, the under 
surface of its wings ash-grey, densely striated with brown and 
distinctly crossed by olive-brown bands ; the ocelli of the secondaries 
small, oval, and with large silver pupils. 
The four (unfortunately rather worn) specimens in the present 
collection, though they differ from one another in minor details, 
correspond in all their principal features with my type of Y. ordinata.

** Ypthima nikea. Wewal, 26th August. Not uncommon about 
Murree and towards Thundiani, end of August and beginning of 
September. The form Y. sakra (differing in having no intervening 
yellow bands to the ocelli) was also obtained.’—J. W. Y. 
The true Y. ntk@a is unknown to me, but Mr. Moore describes 
it as having the ‘‘ underside grey,” whereas in this species (Y. sakra) 
it is distinctly yellow ; he also says that the apical ocelliof the hind 
wings are “joined together, though having a yellow band between 
them,” the only part of this description which is to me unintelligible, 
but to which Major Yerbury evidently refers as the distinctive 
character between the two named forms. In the Hewitson cabinet 
there is a series of five YF. sakra, the smallest specimen, labelled 
“nikea, M.,”’ differing in having the two apical ocelli separate though 
enclosed in an 8-shaped yellow zone: though the under surface is 
still yellow instead of grey, this may be the typical Y. nikea; if so, 
it is connected with Y. sakra, of Marshall and De Nicéville, by one 
of the two specimens now sent, in which the ocelli, though not 
absolutely confluent, touch one another upon the vein as in Hewit- 
son’s figure. Hewitson’s type of Y. sakra, therefore, is clearly one of 
these intermediate specimens.
