The specimens taken by Capt. Pinwill in Malacca, and which were presented by him to 

 the British Musenm, are the only examples I have seen from this region. 



3. Ypthima newboldi, (Tab. IV., fig. 6 ? .) 



Yphthiwa .WM-Wrtf, Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, ser. 5 T vol. ix. p. 890 (1882), 



Wings above pale brown. Anterior wings with a large subovate pale fascia, placed transversely on 

 apical half, and on which is a large black ocellated spot, with a yellow margin and with two small bluish 

 talc-like centres; this spot is placed a little beyond end of cell, its upper margin extending a little above 

 Jirst discoidal nervule. and its lower margin reaching the second median nervule. Posterior wings with a 

 broad pale submarmnal fascia, on which are three ocellated black spots, with yellow margins and bluish talc* 

 like centres, the first and smallest of which is placed between the second subcostal and discoidal nervules, 

 and the other two, which arc largest and placed close together, are situate nearer to the outer margin 

 and between the median nervines. Underside of wings pale greyish, mottled with brown ; ocellated spots 

 as above, but posterior wings having two additional smaller spats placed close together near anal angle, 

 and between the third median nervule and the subruedian nervure ; the small spot, as seen above, is much 

 larger beneath. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 40 millim. 



Had. — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.). 



This species not only differs from Y. mdhora in having five, and not six, ocellated spots 

 on the under surface of the posterior wings (a possible varietal difference only), and also a paler 

 and more imicolorons hue beneath, bnt also by the shape of the ocellated spot on anterior 

 wings, which is not only larger, bnt rounder and less oblong ; the wings are also longer, the 

 costal margin of the posterior wings being distinctly longer than the outer margin. 



I have as yet seen but one specimen, which I captured myself in Province Wellesley.*

Male and female. WingB above bright, glossy, smoky ochraceous. Anterior wings with a large, ovate 

 ocellated spot placed a little beyond cell, and situate on the two discoidal and first median nervines ; this 

 spot is dark lupous, with two contra! pale bluish whitr spots, and ouhvanlly margined with pale ochraceous; 

 outer dark subuiarginal and marginal lines. Posterior wings with two or three prominent submargiual 

 ocellatud spots, of which two are always present and placed between the median nervines, the inner one 

 being largest, and the third and smallest (sometimes absent) is situate between the third median nervule 

 and submedian nervure* these spots are similar in colour to that of the anterior wing, but more rounded, 

 with single pair bluish white mitral spca>, and the urea on which they are situate is paler and mmv t»r 

 less greyish (the third when present is always more or less imperfect) ; between the Bubcostal nervules 

 a spot on the under surface is faintly and obscurely visible above. Wings beneath pale greyish, mottled 

 with slender pale fuscous strigae ; anterior wings with the large spot are above, but brighter, and its outer
