Jlcdc. Upperside resembles M. Fidviana, but is rather less rufous. The 

 anterior wings are crossed beyond the middle by a vertical narrow brown line, 

 which, below the third median nervule, curves outwardly and then sharply 

 inwards towards the submedian nervure. In the paler fulvous space beyond this 

 vertical line is a black spot centred with a white dot and an indistinct carved 

 line outside it, situate between the middle and lowest median nervules ; and 

 there is another smaller spot situate in the apical dark brown area, surrounded 

 by a rufous ring. On the posterior wings are three ocelli beyond the middle ; 

 the middle larger than the upper one, w-hich is rather larger than the lowest 

 spot. Above the upper spot is an indication of several other spots. 



Underside. Both wings resemble J/. Jiuqiita, Moore, in coloration, the 

 basal two-thirds being bright yellowish-brown bordered by a vertical darker 

 brown line ; beyond this to the outer margins the wings are paler. In the 

 middle of the pale space on each wing is a row of ocelli, Ijetween which and the 

 margins are two sinuate narrow brown lines. On the anterior wings the ocelli 

 are five in number and contiguous, situate between the lowest subcostal and 

 lowest median nervules, the second and fifth being the largest. On the 

 posterior wings, which are crossed before the middle by an undulating, some- 

 what indistinct narrow brown line, the ocelli are six in number, whereof the 

 first, fourth, and fifth are the largest aiid nearly equal in size, and the second 

 and third are very small. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings are more fuliginous-brown and less 

 robust than in the same sex of J/. Fidviana. On the anterior wdngs the space 

 inside the vertical line is very fuliginous ; the spots are as in the male, with the
