Ypthima newara, also known as the Newar threering is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Himalayas from Pakistan to China. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1875.[1]
Description
The upperside of the male is brown. The forewing has a single subapical ocellus, while the hindwing has two ocelli, one of which is bipupiled and the other has a single pupil. The upperside of the female is similar to the male except it has one ocellus on both wings.[2][3]
The underside is yellowish grey and partly covered with numerous short strigae. The forewing has a single bipupiled ocelli while the hindwing has three. The apical ocellus is very large, the anal ocellus is bipupiled while the rest have a single pupil. Both sexes have the same underside.[2]
This species is separated from the similar Ypthima nareda by being larger and by having the position of the ocellus on the forwing less inwardly oblique.[2]
