secoudaries with a discal series of very indistinct pale ochraceous ocelli between the nervures. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 2 lines. 
" Shanghai (W. B. Pri/er). B.M." (Butler, h c.) 
Mr. Butler adds that only one specimen was taken by Mr. Fryer, and that 
the species is " chiefly remarkable for the enormous size of the ocellus of 
primaries, which gives it somewhat the aspect of a Callerehia." 
This species was first discovered by Mi". W. B. Pryer in the Snowy Valley, 
Ningpo [nee Shangliai), in which locality I also took specimens in April 
1886. The type, Avhich appears to be a male, is in the National Museum at 
South Kensington. It seems to be a fairly constant species, as the only depar- 
tm"e fiom typical marking that I have obseiTed is exhibited in two examples 
from Chang-yang; in each of these there is a small ocellus below the subapical 
one of primaries. The female is paler than the male, the Avings are broader 
and the ocelli larger. 
Common in Central China during the months of April and May, and it 
also occurs at Wa-ssu-kow, Western China, in June, at an elevation of 
5000 feet. 
Ypthima prsenubila. (Plate X. fig. 8, 6 .) 
Ypthima prcBmihila, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 66 (Sept. 1891). 
Male. Fuscous brown ; all the wings have a broad interrupted blackish submarginal band ; the 
subapical ocellus of primaries is somewhat ovate, with two bluish pupils (set directly one 
below the other) and suffused yellowish iris ; on the secondaries there are two ocelli towards 
anal angle, the second bipupillatcd. The under surface is whitish, tinged with ochreous on 
primaries and along outer margins of secondaries : all the wings have a number of transverse 
undulated brown Knes, and the primaries have a brown band from the centre of the wing to 
the inner margin ; the submarginal band is of the same colour. On the secondaries there is 
an ocellus just below costa and towards outer angle, and there are two others at anal angle ; 
all these are fairly large and well defined. 
Female. Similar to the male, but the ocellus at anal angle is sometimes obsolete on the upper 
surface, and there is often an additional one in the second median interspace ; on the under 
surface all these ocelli are weU defined. 
Expanse, S 56-60 millim., 5 64 millim. 
Occiu's at Ta-chien-lu, May and June ; Chia-kou-ho and Moupin, July ; 
Omei-shan, Jidy and August ; AVa-shan, August ; Kiukiang. 
The male has sometimes three ocelli on upper sm-face of secondaries, and 
some examples of the female have a small ocellus below the subapical one of 
primaries.
