section of the genus. The hirge sericeous patcli on the anterior wings and 

 the absence of the tufts on the posterior wings distinguish it from that 

 species." {Grose Smith, I.e.) 



This species will be figured in a future part of ' Exotic Buttei'flies ' by 

 Grose Smith and Kirby. 



Ypthima elwesi, sp. nov. (Plate XLIII. fig. 7,6.) 



Male. Fuliginous. kSecoiidaries have a small subanal ocellus. Fringes dark grey. Under 

 surface dark brown striated with pale brown, especially on the secondaries ; there is a 

 bipupillated ocellus towards apex of primaries and three ocelli on secondaries. 



Expanse 58 millim. 



One male example from Omei-shan. 



I am indebted to Mr. Grose Smith for this specimen, which was taken by a 

 native collector. 



Ypthima pratti. (Plate XLIII. fig. 9, d .) 



Ypthima pratti, Elwes & Edwards, Trans. Eiit. Soc. Lond. 1893, p. 35. 



" 3Iale. Upperside brown : fore wing with a wide dark marginal band ; the pale irrorate ocellar 

 space subtriangular, reaching from the costa to the inner margin, its inner edge straight, 

 oblique ; sex-mark wanting ; ocellus large, well-defined, bipupilled : hind wing with a wide 

 dark marginal band, separated from the actual margin by a pale line, the pale irrorate 

 ocellar space broad and band-like, its inner edge irregular ; a large unipupillatc ocellus in the 

 first median interspace, a minute one just below it, and another small one faintly indicated in 

 the second subcostal interspace. Ground-colour of the underside whitish grey ; fore wing 

 with the inner edge of ocellar space bounded by an oblique, elongate-triangular brown band, 

 widest on the inner margin ; outer edge of the ocellar space bounded in the lower half by a 

 brown curved line, which starts from the posterior augle and becomes evanescent about the 

 middle of the hind margin ; from the base of the wing to the obli(]UC band the striolation is 

 closer ; hind wing with the striolation moderatelj' close and rather irregular, with a faint 

 trace of an irregular median yellow-brown band coincident with the inner edge of the ocellar 

 space on the upperside ; ocelli 4, 2 subapical and 2 subanal, the anal one bipupilled. 



" Expanse 4G millim." {EIwcs 4' Edwards, J. c.) 



In their remarks on this species Elwes and Edwards observe : — " A specimen 

 from Ichang in Mr. Leech's collection is very puzzling, and judging from the 

 clasp alone, which we have figured under the name of prattii, pi. iii. fig. 55, 

 would be a distinct species. It has most resemblance to argus, but the 

 upper ocellus of the middle pair is absent, though on the proper right side 

 there are some scales, which makes us think that the specimen is an abnormal
