57. YptMma abnormis, sp. n. 



9 Upperside ; fuscous, without ocelli ; the hind-wing 

 is clothed with long" hairs especially along the internal 

 margin. 



Underside — pale brown with dark fuscous striae which 

 on the forewing are segregated in three areas to form 

 indistinct fasciae — a sub-basal, a discal and a sub- 

 marginal ; on the hind-wing the striae form five indis- 

 tinct fasciae, — a basal, a sub-basal, two discal and a 

 marginal. There are no ocelli. The abdominal margin 

 of the hind-wing is rather deeply excised and the outer 

 margin is slightly sinuate. Cilia fuscous. Expanse, 57 mm. 

 Habitat, Kuching, Sarawak. 



This is a very abberrant species of Ypthima; it 

 has been suggested to me that it is merely a seasonal 

 variation but as I shall have occasion to poiut out later, 

 the Bornean butterflies do not show seasonal variation; 

 all the species of Mycalesis, for instance, correspond to the 

 wet-season phase of the same species, from other 

 countries where the distinction between the fine and 

 wet monsoons is better marked than it is here ; the dry- 

 season phases of these species are not found in Borneo. — 

 Type in the Sarawak Museum.
