Ypthima multistriata. 
Ypthima multistriata, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xii. p. 50 (1883) ; Ehves & 
Edwards, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1893, p. 18. 
" Allied to Y. nareda and Y. coriicana, intermediate in size between the two. Wings above 
smoky brown, paler on the disc of the wings, especially in the female, and with blackish 
submarginal and marginal stripes : primaries of the female with a large oval bipupillated 
ocellus towards the apes, the male rarely showing a trace of a similar ocellus, but usually 
entirely destitute of it : secondaries with a large circular unipupillatcd ocellus on the first median 
interspace and frequently, in the male, one or two minute subaual ocelli in an oblique line 
with the large ocellus : primaries of the male with a blackish nebula over the median area. 
Under surface sordid white, the primaries and base of secondaries more or less suffused with 
brown, and the entire surface of all the wings densely covered with numerous sharply-defined 
darker brow n stria3 ; marginal and submarginal stripes as above : primaries in both sexes 
with a well-defined bipupillated black subapical ocellus with yellow iris ; a dark brown stripe 
from just beyond the middle of the costa across the disc to the termination of the submarginal 
stripe : secondaries crossed beyond the middle by an irregularly angulated stripe, sometimes 
barely traceable, but usually well defined ; three well-defined ocelli, one apical and two 
subanal, the last being smaller than the others and bipupillated. 
" Expanse of wings 37-42 millim. 
"Seven examples, N. Formosa." (Butler, 1. c.) 
Elwes and Edwards have identified a specimen taken at Ichang by 
Pratt as this species, whicli differs chiefly from Y. motschulski/i in the 
absence of ocelli from the upper surface of primaries and in tlie form of 
the clasp.

In placing Ypthima haldus, Fabricius and Hewitson, as a synonym of 
Y. 2'hilomela, Johanssen, I followed Kirby and de Niceville. Elwes and 
Edwards, however, are of opinion that the name pMlomcla should be dropped, 
as it is impossible to precisely determine what insect was intended. liewitson's 
description applies in every way, except as regards the presence of a sex-mark, 
to the species which these authors now call Y. marsJialli, Butler, and of which 
Mr. Elwes has specimens taken by myself at Foochow. They also consider 
evanescens, Butler, from Japan, to be a form of Y. marshalli, but only give the 
following localities for the species : — Bhotan, Khasias, Assam, Bombay, 
Bengal, Akyab, Mysore, Nilgiris, Perak, Foochow.
