Ypthima multistriata. 



Ypthimu miiUistriata, Butler, Anu. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xii. p. 50 (1883) ; Elwes & 

 Edwards, Trans. Eat. Soc. Lond. 1893, p. 18. 



" Allied to Y. nareda and Y. corticana, intermediate in size betvreen the two. Wings above 

 smoky brown, paler on the disc of the wings, especially in the female, and with Idackish 

 submarginal and marginal stripes : primaries of the female AAith a large oval bipnpillated 

 ocellus towards the apex, the male rarely showing a trace of a similar ocellus, but usuall)' 

 entirely destitute of it : secondaries with a large circular unipupillatcd ocellus on the first median 

 interspace and frequently, in the male, one or two minute subaual ocelli in an obliipie line 

 witli the large ocellus : primaries of the male with a blackish nebula over the median area. 

 Under surface sordid white, the primaries aiul base of secondaries more or less suffused with 

 brown, and the entire surface of all the wings densely covered with numerous sharply-defined 

 darker brown stria; ; marginal and submarginal stripes as above : primaries in both sexes 

 with a well-defined bipupillated black subapical ocellus with yellow iris ; a dark brown stripe 

 from just beyond the middle of the cnsta across the disc to the termination of the submarginal 

 stripe : secondaries crossed beyond the middle by an irregularly angulated sti'ipe, sometimes 

 barely traceable, but usually well defined ; three well-defined ocelli, one apical and two 

 subanal, the last being smaller than the others and bipupillated. 



" Expanse of wings 37-42 millim. 



"Seven examples, N. Formosa."' (Butler, I. c.) 



Elwes and Edwards have identified a specimen taken at Ichang by 

 Pratt as this species, which differs chiefly from Y. motschalskyi in the 

 absence of ocelli from the upper surface of primaries and in the form of 

 the clasp. 



Ypthima argus, 



Ypthima philumela, Leech (ante, p. 90). 



Ypthima argus, Butler; Elwes & Edwards, Trans. Eat. Soc. Lond. 1893, p. 35. 



In placing Ypthima haldus, Fabricius and Hewitson, as a synonym of 

 Y. jjJuIomela, Johansson, I followed Kirby and de Niceville. Elwes and 

 Edwards, however, are of opinion that the name philomeJa should be dropped, 

 as it is impossible to precisely determine what insect was intended. Hewitson's 

 description applies in every way, except as regards the presence of a sex-mark, 

 to the species which these authors now call Y. 9««rs/<^^//^, Butler, and of which 

 Mr. Elwes has specimens taken by myself at Foochow. They also consider 

 evanescens, Butler, from Japan, to be a form of Y. marshalli, but only give the 

 following localities for the species : — Bhotan, Khasias, Assam, Bombay, 

 Bengal, Akyab, Mysore, Nilgms, Perak, Foochow.
