5. No androconia. Underside of hindming icith three ocelli — oue apical 



hehceen the mbcostaU, two anal Pandima (type Nareda). 



6. Androconial patch not visible, but the androconia present. Underside of 



hindicing with three ocelli — one apical between the lower subcostal and 



radial, two anal Lohaba (type Inica).

Genus THYMIPA. 



Tpthima (part) auctorum. 



Imago. — Distinguislied from typical Ypthima by its comparatively broader fore- 

 ■wing, the venation being similar, except that it has a broader and posteriorly-longer 

 cell, the linear outwardly-obliqueness of the discocellulars, and in the male posseHsinrj 

 a -prominent broad oblique discal androconial imtch, which, in the type (Baldus), is 

 clothed with very pale rounded-tipt battledore scales, a few longer pale scales with 

 attenuated base and bluntly serrate-tip, and extremely numerous long blackish 

 androconia with very slenderly-dilated base and tassel-tip. Rindwing also broader, 

 the cell longer posteriorly, and the discocellulars more oblique. Palpi larger, apical 

 joint long, slender, and slightly hairy in front. Antennas with a slight, but imper- 

 ceptibly-increasing, slender club. 



Caterpillar. — "On emergence from the egg pinkish-white, hairy; when full 

 grown, one inch in length, body compressed, flattened to a ridge line below the 

 spiracles ; head rounded ; second, third, and fourth segments gradually increasing 

 to the fifth, then very gradually decreasing to the anal segment, which is furnished 

 with two very small pointed processes." 



Chrysalis. — "Very narrow; thorax longitudinally humped above, with another 

 ridge just before the abdominal segment." (de Niceville.) 



Type.—T. Baldus. 



The species of this genus are also distinguishable in having a different formula 

 in the position of the ocelli on the underside of the hindwing. There are six ocelli, 

 which in the first section are disposed in echelon, in three inwardly-oblique groups 

 of two across the wing ; and in the second section the two lower pairs are linearly 

 disposed. 



Section 1. — Ocelli on underside of hindwing placed in three pairs.
