this is an irregulai- band of elongated brownish spots; end of cell 

 faintly marked with pale brown. Hindwiny silvery-white, three 

 black subbasal spots, the middle one of them in cell; a round 

 larger apical spot, a small one on inner margin about middle; 

 outer margin as in forewing but a little wider; white lunules and 

 marginal line almost breaking up the brownish-grey margin into 

 a series of spots, that just at anal angle being darker and more 

 conspicuous, spot between 1st and 2nd median nervules better 

 defined than others. Cilia greyish. 



9. 10-12 mm. (11). Up per side differs from ^ in the 

 more convex costa and outer margins, rounded apex to forewing, 

 and the very circular outer margin of hindwing. In some speci- 

 mens the white areas are somewhat larger than those of (^, and 

 in very fresh specimens the cilia of hindwing are seen to be 

 slightly spotted. 



Underside as in (J, but markings better defined and cilia 

 decidedly spotted and lighter.

I am still inclined to regard this as only the Australian form of 

 M. malaya, from which it differs onl}^ in the relative proportions 

 of black and white on the upperside, and in the intensity of the 

 markings below.
