This appears to be a most variable species. Some specimens I have from 
Corea and the Isle of Kiushiu, Japan, agree fanly well with Menetries's 
figm-e of a specimen from Pekin ; but in Central and Western China the 
species is represented by a form which I now describe as 
Var. perfecta, var. nov. (Plate X. fig. 7, d •) Male. The apical ocellus of primaries is entire, 
and that towards anal angle of secondaries is larger ; the pupils of both are distinctly 
blue ; all the wings have a blackish submarginal line, but that on secondaries is most distinct. 
The under surface is whiter ; all the wings often have a submarginal brown baud, and there 
is frequently a central oblique brown band on primaries, but these characters arc subject to 
modification ; ocelli as in the type. 
Female. The apical half of primaries and outer third of secondaries clouded with whitish grey. 
The above description refers to the commoner form of Y. motschidsJcyi in 
Western China ; but some of the specimens from thence exhibit considerable 
variation in the number of ocelli. In some examples there is a small ocellus 
below the apical one of primaries ; in others there is a geminated oceUus at 
anal angle of secondaries, and in a few specimens there are four oceUi on the 
secondaries — one at outer angle and three towards anal angle. This variation 
of ocelli is chiefly found on the upper surface, but it occasionally occurs on 
the under surface also. The brown bands of under surface are often very 
wide on primaries, and sometimes unite in a brown patch on inner margin ; 
in some specimens the Avhitish ground-colour forms an oblique band on the 
secondaries from outer angle to inner margin. 
Common and generally distributed in Western China, where it occurs 
throughout the summer at various elevations between 5000 and 10,000 feet. 
It is also found at Chang-yang in Central China, and in the Corea and the 
Isle of Kiushiu, Japan. "^^
