406 MR. H.J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM SIKKIM. [May 2, 
ZOPHOESSA ATKINSONIA. 
Z. athinsonia, Hew. Ent. Mo. Mag. 1876, p. 151; Hewits, Desc. 
Lep. in Coll. Atkinson, 1879, p. 2, t. 1. figs. 2, 3. 
One specimen of this species, which is found at about 8000 feet 
near Darjeeling, and probably in the interior. 
The published figure of this species is bad, being much too rufous, 
and the markings much brighter than in any of four specimens in 
my collection. The type, however, is somewhat brighter than the 
average. 
Satyrus papMA, Koll. Kaschm. p. 445, t. xv. figs. 1, 2. 
I received twenty specimens of a species which, if not identical with, 
is very close to S. padma, though not so large as Kollar’s figure, and 
differing somewhat in the underside of the wing trom any examples 
I have from the north-west. 
The white spot on the costal margin seems to distinguish this 
from any other species in my collection- except S. weranga, Lang, 
which is much smaller; but all these Himalayan Saéyra are very 
nearly allied, and we do not yet know much about them. 
Mycatesis visata, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. C. p. 230. 
A single pair of this species, which is not uncommon near 
Darjeeling. The apex of the fore wing is sharply angled, almost 
ointed. The female differs only in larger size and paler colour.

Mycattsis, sp. 
A single female specimen, which at present I am not able to deter- 
mine. 
Yerrurma saxra, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. C. p. 286. 
A large number of this species, mostly in bad condition. The 
ocelli vary from three to five above in the males; but the females, 
besides being paler in colour above, have usually an additional small 
ocellus on the fore wing. 
YPTHIMA, sp. 
A single male specimen, which I cannot identify with any known 
species, but which I refrain from naming, as it seems to me there are 
already too many names in this difficult and little understood genus. 
It is 13 inch in expanse, dark brown above, with large dark ocellus, 
ringed yellow and double-pupilled, on fore wing above. On the hind 
wing one large central double ocellus and two small ones. Beneath 
it is grey, with minute pale brown strize and two irregular transverse 
fascize on both wings. Margin darker. Hind wing with three double 
ocelli in a paler band. It resembles Y. methora, Hew., more than 
any other species I know, but differs considerably beneath from a 
Lurmese specimen of that insect.
