NTMPHALID.?:. 
submarginal line and a less distinct line before the greyish fringes. Fnder surface of 
primaries grey-brown : ocellus and submarginal line as above : secondaries grey, sometimes 
tinged with violet-brown, traversed by three sinuous dark lines; the basal and submarginal 
bordered outwardly, and the central inwardly, with yellowish ; there is a small whitish spot 
above the centre of the wing, and one or sometimes two ocelli before the submarginal line 
towards anal angle. 
The female, which has not previously been referred to, has the ground-colour of all the wings 
rather paler, and the subapical ocellus is larger and brighter. 
Expanse 44-49 millim. 
Oberthiir's type of this species appears to have only one ocellus on the 
upper sui'face of secondaries, but some specimens have a smaller ocellus, 
either above or below this one, and others have both additional ocelli. The 
size of the subanal ocellus, when one only is present, is also variable, and in 
one of my specimens is so very minute that it is difficult to see ; the ocelli 
on under surface of secondaries are in some specimens only rudimentary, and 
in others obsolete. 
So far this species has been found only at Ta-chien-lu in Western China. 
Mr. Pratt obtained a number of specimens there in the months of May and 
June. 
Ypthima insolita. (Plate IX. fig. 1,6 .) 
Ypthima insolita, Leech, Entomologist^ xxiv., Suppl. p. G6 (Sept. 1891). 
Male. Allied to Y. mcf/alomina, 13utl., with which it agrees almost exactly on the upper surface, 
but exhibits the following differences on the under surface : — The primaries whitish, heavily 
suffused with olivaceous, with a well-formed small ocellus directly under the apical one ; the 
secondaries are whitish, with a broad, ill-defined, olivaceous band from middle of outer margin 
to the abdominal fold, before which it unites with another olivaceous band from the middle 
of costa ; there is a small ocellus at outer angle, another in the first median interspace, and a 
still smaller one at anal angle ; each of these with silvery pujiil and yellow iris. 
Expanse 56 millim, 
- 1 have three male specimens of this species, which were taken at Wa-ssu- 
kow in Western China, at an elevation of 5000 feet, in June.
