In dealing witli Y. motscJiuhl'iji, Ehves and Edwards write — " The insect 
which we have taken to represent this name agrees in every respect with 
the figure of Menetries above cited, except that the latter does not show 
the velutinous patch on the disk of the fore Aving. It would be a mere 
waste of time to attempt to trace the full synonymy of this species, as we can 
only separate it with certainty from its allies by the form of the clasp ; but 
we have treated amphithca. Men., as a synonym in deference to Staudinger's 
opinion as expressed in Rom. Mem. vi. p. 203. Rah. Nagasaki, Japan ; 
Fusan, Korea {Leech) ; Kiukiang ( Pratt) ; Shanghai {Pryer)." 
Staudinger records Y. motschuhhiji from Amurland and expresses his 
opinion that nareda, Kollar, from Northern India, is a local form of that 
species.

This insect, which I described and figured as a form of Y. motschdskiji. is 
now considered by Elwes and Edwards a distinct species. They write of it : — 
" This is distinguished from its allies by the well-defined straight-sided ocellar 
space on the underside of the fore wing, which is open both to the costa and 
the inner margin, and the irregular pale band on the underside of the hind 
wing, but most certainly by the diff"erent form of the clasp." 
This species is common in Western and Central China. It varies con- 
siderably in size and number of ocelli. In typical examples there is only one 
ocellus on each wing, in some specimens there is a small ocellus beneath or 
adjoining that at apex of primaries, and the number of ocelli on secondaries 
ranges from one (in the type) to four on the under surface ; the usual number 
is one on the primaries and three on the secondaries, but they may be 
increased to two on the primaries and four on the secondaries.

"Male. Upperside fuliginous brown, with pale grey fringes ; ocellus of the fore wing barely indi- 
cated : one well-defined subanal ocellus on the hind wing, the dark velutinous patch on the 
fore wing indistinct. Underside greyish white, the striolation moderately close and fine, the 
latter on the distal half of the fore wing coalescing to form a brown cloud arising in the
