submargina! line and a less distinct line before the greyish fringes. Under surface of 
primaries grc^-brown : ocellus and submarginal line as above : secondaries grey, sometimes 
tinged ^Yith violet-brown, traversed by three sinuous dark lines; the basal and submarginal 
bordered outwardly, and the central inwardly, with yellowish ; tliore is a small whitish sjwt 
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, lias the ground-colour of all the wings 
rather paler, and the subapical ocellus is larger and brighter. 
Expanse 44—49 millim. 
Oberthiii-'s type of this species appears to have only one ocellus on the 
upper surface 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, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 66 (Sept. 1891). 
Male. Allied to Y. megalomma, Butl., 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 weU-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 pupil and yellow iris. 
Expanse 56 millim. 
I 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.

" M'ings above grey-brown, primaries with a very large oblique subapical black ocellus, bipupil- 
lated with plumbagcous, and encircled by a stramineous iris : secondaries with a large sub- 
anal ocellus, similar to that of primaries, but only about one third the size and unipupillate : 
body grey -brown : wings below brown, densely hatched with white ; primaries with ocellus 
of upper surface, but larger and clearer, also a punctiform ocellus upon first median interspace ;
