138 NYMPHALIDJE. 



the preapical and tornal ocelli frequently absent or faintly marked, 

 the last when present always minute. Underside ochraceous 

 brown, thickly irrorated by transverse, short, dark brown stria?. 

 Fore wing with the preapical ocellus as on the upperside, but the 

 encircling yellow ring broader and the outer brown ring more 

 clearly denned. Some specimens, both from the N.W. Himalayas 

 and from Assam, have a second very much smaller obscure 

 median ocellus, and others have dark discal and subterminal broad 

 brown transverse bands. Hind wing with five prominent similar 

 ocelli ; the preapical two large, geminate, encircled in a common 

 yellow ring ; the posterior three in echelon with them, with dis- 

 tinct irides ; the tornal ocellus bipupilled ; the ocelli on the hind 

 wing typically bordered with a narrow brown line on both sides ; 

 the surrounding area is concolorous with the rest of the wing, but 

 in very many specimens more or less pale, and forms in the variety 

 austeni a broad transverse pale band which extends on to the fore 

 wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen umber-brown, paler 

 beneath. 



Exp. (S 2 50-54 mm. (2-2-13"). 



Hab. The Himalayas, from Kulu to Sikhim ; Assam, the 

 Khasi Hills to Upper Burma.

<$ 2 • Closely resembles Y. baldus, but on the upperside a 

 very pale vandyke-brown, not greyish sepia-brown : ocelli, dusky 

 transverse bands, and in 2 P a ^ e ocellar area on fore wing as in 

 Y. baldus but much less distinctly marked ; terminal slender 

 line pale yellow. Underside as in Y. baldus, but the transverse 

 short striae irrorating the wings finer and more delicate, the 

 transverse continuous dark bands very faint. Hind wing with 

 only one subapical ocellus. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen 

 brown ; the head and thorax somewhat greyish. Male secondary 

 sex-mark present, but very obscure. 



Exp. 6 2 43-50 mm. (1-7-1-95"). 



Hah. Eecorded from Manipur. 



Notwithstanding that the type specimen (from Sumatra), kindly 

 lent to me by the authorities of the Indian Museum, has only one 

 preapical ocellus on the underside of the hind wing, the form it 

 most closely resembles seems to be Y. baldus. In fact, in describing 

 Y. iarba, de Niceville seemed to be in doubt whether the Manipur 

 specimen, not the Sumatran, was not a mere aberrational form of 

 Y. baldus.
