ly86.] LEPIDOI'TERA FROM WESTERN INDIA. 359 



" Common on the 25th September about Kala Pani and on the 

 road between Abbottabad and Buo;iioter." — J. W. Y. 



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 ocelH 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.

Satyrus nareda, KoUar in Hiig. Kaschm. iv. 2, p. 451 (1848). 



d', Dewal, 2Gth August, 1885. 



" Common at Murree in August." — J. W. Y. 



12. YpTHIMA SAKRA. 



Ypthima sakra, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. Co. Mus. i. p. 286. n. .508 

 (1857); Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soc.ser. 3, vol. ii. pi. 18. tig. 18(1865). 



S, Murree, 1 2th September; Tliuudiani, 24th September, 1885. 



" Ypthima nihaa. Dewal, 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. IF. Y. 



The true Y. nikcea is unknown to me, but Mr. Moore describes 

 it as having the " underside grey," whereas in this species (F. sakra) 

 it is distinctly yellow ; he also says that the apical ocelli of 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 Yeibury evidently refers as the distinctive 

 character between the two named forms. In the Hewitson cabinet 

 there is a series of five Y. sakra, the smallest specimen, labelled 

 "tiikcea, M.," differing in having the two apical ocelli separate though 

 enclosed in an 8-shaped yellow zone : though the under surfoce is 

 still yellow instead of grey, this may be the typical Y. nikcea ; if so, 

 it is connected with Y. salcra, of Marshall and De Niceville, 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.
