Ypthima tabella is a species of Satyrinae butterfly found in South India, described by Marshall and De Nicéville in 1883.[1][2][3] Some experts still consider this as a subspecies of Ypthima philomela, baby fivering.[4][5][6]
Description
[edit]The upper side of the male is brown, uniform in color. Fore-wing has a bipupilled ocellus. Hind-wing has two submarginal ocelli between the median nervules. The underside is pale brown. Fore-wing has one ocellus. Hind-wing has six ocelli, placed in pairs. No sexual patch on fore-wing on upper-side.[1][7][8]
It can be distinguished from Ypthima philomela by the absence of sexual mark in the male.[1]
