Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis of mainly Asian species of the genus Ypthima was provided by SHIROZU and SHIMA (1979), but they did not give diagnoses of their specific and subspecific characters. FRUHSTORFER (1911) made an attempt to review the Indo-Australian species of the genus as a whole, but almost all other works on the genus subsequent to him dealt with the species only from a part of Asia. It is usually difficult to distinguish the species of the genus on their external characters, as they show considerable individual, seasonal and geographical variations. This has led to many misidentifications and confusions of synonymy. The aim of this work is to provide a taxonomic revision of the asterope-group supplemented by an identification guide to species and subspecies, and to note on their nomenclature and distribution. Following abbreviations are used for the institutions where the types or other specimens examined in this study are deposited. BMNH British Museum (Natural History), London HUFAE Hokkaido University, Faculty of Agriculture, Entomological Institute, Sapporo KUCGE Kyushu University, College of General Education, Biological Laboratory, Fukuoka MNHN Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris RIEB Research Institute of Evolutionary Biology, Tokyo RNH Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden SMN Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Frankfurt a.
