white appressions on the underside of the hindwings are “replaced by the yellowish white ground colour”. The 
species occurs unusually far northwards and even occurs on the Kiuilean Islands: the form occurring there has 
been denominated by Matstjmtjra as kurilensis. kurilensis.

Y. hiibneri Ky. is a doubtful species as mentioned by Fruhstorfer in Vol. 9, p. 287, as hubneri Kirby hiibneri. 
is not identical with philomela as Kirby himself indicates, but denotes the form from the eastern Himalayas which 
can scarcely penetrate into the palaearctic region.

the other hand occurs frequently in Kashmir, but it seems to be limited to the hot indo-australian part and 
does not occur in the more temperate heights. The same applies to the form indecora Mr. (Vol. 9, p. 287) of 
philomela which is larger and which has a larger apical eye-spot in the forewings.

lighter patches especially on the hindwings, a corresponding form has now been found in the Hokkaido which 
differs in a similar way from the typical argus from Hondo with its light grey underside: this is jezoensis Mats, jezoensis. 
Y. motschulskyi Men. In contrast to the korean form amphithea Men. (Vol. 1, p. 92) which Fruhstorfer motschul- 
erroneously describes as “amphitea , ' > in Vol. 9 p. 291, which has reversional eye-spots, there is a form with sliyi 
especially well developed eye-spots on the underside which has been named as ganus Fruhst. ganus.

to praenubila (Vol. 1, plate 34 c) which differs, however, by its dark earthy-brown tone of the underside. The 
hindwings show on the upperside only one small ocellus in the anal region, underside only 2, whilst the 3rd 
uppermost has disappeared. Striation of the underside and the shape and position of the eye-spots is as in 
praenubila, only on the upperside of the forewings the apical eye is totally absent: from Omei-shan in West China.

8. Genus: Callerebia Btlr. 
C. armada Mr. This species is described by Moore from 3 specimens and the description and illustration annada. 
refer to a form with 2 blind anal eyes on underside of hindwings. However, in the British Museum there is 
only 1 o type which has white pupilled eyes. This has a more reddish ground colour on underside, fore wings 
and the hindwings are more heavily sprinkled with white. Our illustration in Vol. 1. plate 35 a, shows much 
more reddish brown forewing than Moore’s illustration (Lep. Ceyl. 2. plate 115, Fig. 3): its hindwings are 
heavily sprinkled with white, our illustration shows same almost as unicoloured dark as the forewings. Accord¬ 
ing to this the specimen figured on plate 35 a might be another species. For the old annada Watkins proposes 
to give the name caeca on account of the blind eye, whilst it should be more readily presumed that Moore had 
erroneously used a wrong type label and that the form with the pupilled eyes should be newly denominated. 
C. hybrida Btlr. is specifically different from annada as the lias no scent scales and the hindwings hybrida. 
have a wavy outer band and white eyespots in areas 4—6. 
C. polyphenius. Oberthur has described and illustrated the species polyphemus according to Watkins ,polyphemus. 
whilst Leech has illustrated a different form under the same name. Unfortunately this was selected for the 
reproduction in Vol. 1, plate 34 f. It should have been named perocellafa. From Szechuan: the real polyphemus perocellata. 
Oberth. (= suroia Tytl.), which we are illustrating on plate 10 a is described from Mupin and also from Kansu, 
Szechuan and West Yunnan. Later on Watkins considered suroia a separate species.
