number of ocelli may vary from one to four. I have one example of the female 
with five well-formed ocelli on the upper surface of secondaries. On the 
under surface the number of ocelli appears to be more constant. M. Oberthiir 
considers that his Y. dromon from Tse-kou and Yunnan (Etud. d'Entom. xv. 
p. 15, pi. ii. fig. 12) may be a form of this species. 
A large number of both sexes taken at Wau-ssu-kow and Chovv-pin-sa and 
a few at Pu-tsu-fong in May, June, and July.

Mah. Fuliginous brown. Primaries have a large oval bipupillated ocellus placed obliquely 
towards apex ; tbe pupils are small and of a brilliant metallic blue colour. The secondaries 
have two ocelli, one in each median inters^iace ; each with one pupil of the same colour as, 
but rather larger than, those of primaries; there is also a minute compound ocellus at anal 
angle. Under surface of primaries brown, dusted and streaked with ochreous ; ocellus 
towards apex as above, and a minute one in first median interspace ; preceding these ocelli 
is an oblique brownish streak, which unites in a brownish blotch at the anal angle with the 
submarglnal line. Secondaries brown, finel}' irrorated with whitish; a large bipupillated 
ocellus at outer angle, and three simple ocelli below it towards anal angle. 
Female. Paler than the male, but otherwise similar. 
Expanse 50 millim. 
Some specimens have an additional ocellus attached to the lower portion of 
the subapical one of primaries, and a small ocellus is occasionally seen near 
outer angle of secondaries. Y. clinioides, Obertli., recorded from Yunnan, is 
considered by M. Oberthiir to stand in the same relation to clinia that dromon 
does to dromonides (Etud. d'Ent. xv. p. 16). 
This species is allied to Y. motschulskyi, Brem., but is distinguished 
therefrom by the different character of the ocelli, which, as regards shape 
and position on the upper surface of all the wings, are very similar to those 
of Y. methora, Hewitson. 
Generally distributed in Western China, occurring u]) to 10,000 feet. It 
flies in July and August.

Blackish brown : primaries have a large oval a])ical ocellus placed obliquely, with two metallic 
blue pupils and yellow iris ; the secondaries have a small ocellus in median interspace nearest 
anal angle, this is pupilled with blue and ringed with yellowish ; all the wings have a black
