Wet- Season Form, PL F, Fig. 2, 6 • 



Description : Male. Upperside, both icings brown, the extreme 

 outer margins paler, bearing two wavy fine darker brown lines. 

 Cilia cinereous. Forewing with a single round black ocellus in the 

 first median interspace, beyond which it does not extend, pupilled 

 with white, with a narrow outer pale ring. Hindwing unmarked. 

 Underside, both wings brown, the outer margin bearing two yellow- 

 ish waved lines, the disc crossed by a narrow prefectly straight pure 

 white band which does not quite reach the costa of the forewing nor 

 the abdominal margin of the hindwing. Forewing with four ocelli 

 enclosed in a single outer yellowish line, the two upper ocelli small, 

 equal-sized, the third the smallest, the fourth and lowest the largest. 

 Hindwing with seven ocelli, also enclosed by one line, of which the 

 first (uppermost), the fourth, and the fifth are the largest, the third 

 and the seventh equal-sized and the smallest. 



Described from a single example captured by Lieutenant E. Y. 

 "Watson at Yedu Yaw, Upper Burma, on 23rd November, 1889. 



The dry-season form of M. mijstes is easily recognisable by the 

 curious ochreous-yellow colour of the ground on the underside, but 

 the wet-season form is so precisely similar to many speoimens of the 

 same seasonal form of M. (Calysisme) mineus, Linnaeus, that it might be 

 easily confounded with that speoies. The male, however, has the 

 conspicuous tuft of black hair on the upperside of the hindwing, 

 springing from near the base of the submedian nervure, which is 

 characteristic of this subgenus, and is not found in Calysisme, and 

 by which it can be easily recognised. In the subgenus Loesa, this 

 tuft is yellow not black, and springs from the middle instead of 

 near the base of the submedian nervure. The females of the wet- 

 season form of M. mystes will, probably, be difficult to discriminate, as 

 in neuration and markings they will, probably, be found to be almost 

 exactly like M. mineus.
