section of the genus. The large sericeous patch on the anterior wings and 
the absence of the tufts on the posterior wings distinguish it from that 
species." {Grose Smith, I. c.) 
This species will be figured in a future part of ' Exotic Butterflies ' by 
Grose Smith and Kirby. 
Ypthima elwesi, sp. nov. (Plate XLIII. fig. 7, s .) 
Male. Fuliginous, Secondaries liave a small subanal ocellus. Fringes dark grey. Under 
surface dark brown striated with jiale brown, especially on tlie secondaries ; there is a 
bipupillated ocellus towards apex of primaries and three ocelli on secondaries. 
Expanse 58 millim. 
One male example from Omei-slian. 
I am indebted to Mr. Grose Smitli for this specimen, which was taken by a 
native collector. 
Ypthima pratti. (Plate XLlll. fig. 9, j .) 
Ypthima pratti, Elwes & Edwards, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1893, p. 35. 
" Male. Upperside brown : fore wing with a wide dark marginal band ; the pale irrorate occllar 
space subtriangular, reaching from the costa to the inner margin, its inner edge straight, 
oblique ; sex-mark wanting ; ocellus large, well-defined, bipupilled : hind wing with a wide 
dark marginal band, separated from the actual margin by a pale line, the pale irrorate 
ocellar space broad and band-like, its inner edge irregular ; a large unipupillate ocellus in the 
first median interspace, a minute one just below it, and another small one faintly indicated in 
the second subcostal interspace. Ground-colour of the underside whitish grey; fore wing 
with the inner edge of ocellar space bounded by an oblique, elongate-triangulnr brown band, 
widest on the inner margin ; outer edge of the ocellar space bounded in the lower half by a 
brown curved line, which starts from the posterior angle and becomes evanescent about the 
middle of the hind margin ; from the base of the wing to the obli(]ue band the striolation is 
closer ; hind wing with the striolation moderately close and rather iirugular, with a faint 
trace of an irregular median yellovv-brown band coincident with the iiiiirr td-c ,,f fhe ocellar 
space on the upperside ; ocelli 4, 2 subapical and 2 subanal, the anal one biiiupillcil. 
" Expanse 4G millim." (Elvjes if- Edwards, I. c.) 
In their remarks on this species Elwes and Edwards observe : — " A specimen 
from Ichang in Mr. Leech's collection is very puzzling, and judging from the 
clasp alone, which we have figured under the name of prattii, pi. iii. fig. 55, 
would be a distinct species. It has most resemblance to argiis, but the 
upper ocellus of the middle pair is absent, though on the proper right side 
there are some scales, which makes us think that the specimen is an abnormal
