YPTHIMA. 85 
number of ocelli may vary from one to four. I have one example of the female 
with five well-formed ocelli on the u])pcr surface of secondai-ies. On the 
under surfoce the number of ocelli ajipears to be more constant. M. Olierthiir 
considers tliat his Y. dromon ii'om 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 "SVau-ssu-kow and Chow-pin-sa and 
a few at Pu-tsu-fong in May, June, and July.

Yphtima clinia, Oberthiir, l']tud. d'Entom. xv. p. 16, pi. ii. fig 13 (July nee June 1891). 
Male. Fuliginous brown. Primaries have a large oval bipupillated ocellus placed obliquely 
towards apex ; the pupils are small and of a brilliant metallic blue colour. The secondaries 
have two ocelli, one in each median interspace ; each with one pupil of tlie 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 
submarginal line. Secondaries brown, finely 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, Oberth., recorded from Yimnan, 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. motschuhJiiji, 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 uj) to 10,000 feet. It 
flies in July and August. 
Ypthima beautei. 
Ypthima deatitei, Oberthiir, Etud. d'Eutoui. ix. p. 18, pi. ii. fig. 1 (1884). 
Blackish brown : primaries have a large oval apical 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 pupillod with blue and ringed with yellowish ; all the wings have a black
