Expanse of wings 2 inches 2 lines.

Mr. Butler adds that only oue specimen was taken by Mr. Pryer, and that 
the species is " chiefly remarkable for the enormous size of the ocellus of 
primaries, which gives it somewhat the aspect of a Callerebia." 
This species Avas first discovered by Mr. W. B. Pryer in the Sno\vy Valley, 
Ningpo [iiev Shanghai), in which locality I also took specimens in April 
1886. The type, which appears to be a male, is in the National Museum at 
South Kensington. It seems to be a faii'ly constant species, as the only depar- 
tiu-e ft'om typical marking that I have observed 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 wings are broader 
and the ocelli larger. 
Common in Central China during the months of April and May, and it 
also occm-s at Wa-ssu-kow, Western China, in June, at an elevation of 
5000 feet. 
ypthima prsenubila. (Plate X. fig. 8, 6 .) 
Ypthima prcBnuliila, Lcccli, 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 sutt'used yellowish iris ; on the secondaries there are two ocelli towards 
anal angle, the second bipnpillated. The under surface is whitish, tinged with oehreous on 
primaries and along outer margins of secondaries ; all the wings have a number of transverse 
undulated brown lines, aud 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 well defined. 
Expanse, S 5(3-60 millim., 2 64 millim. 
Occiu-s at Ta-chien-lu, May and June ; Chia-kou-ho and ^Moupin, July ; 
Omei-shan, Jidy and August ; Wa-shan, August ; Kiukiang. 
The male has sometimes three ocelli on upper siuface of secondaries, and 
some examples of the female \\n.\v. a small ocellus below the subapical one of 
primaries.
