8 SATYRIDJE. — MYCALESIS. 



anterior wings), and a darlv line at the base of the fringes. The space between 

 these Unes inclines to yellowish, especially on the posterior wings. Anterior 

 wings with two eyes, one as in the male, but larger ; the other, rather small, 

 nearer the tip. Posterior wings with six eyes, the fifth the largest, the second 

 quite rudimentary, and placed a little nearer the hind margin than the others. 



Underside nearly as in the male, but the marginal area is much lighter, 

 with the lines and spots much more sharply defined ; the seventh rudimentary 

 spot visible on the posterior wings of the male is absent. 



Hab. Humboldt Bay (September, October, 1892) (Doherty).

 This species is redder than M. Shiva, Boisduval, and differs also in the smaller number of 

 spots visible on the upper surface of the wings in both sexes.

Exp. 2 inches. 



Female. Upperside brown, the marginal area paler, with blackish veins, 

 and three black lines, one at the base of the fringes, another close to it, and the 

 third zigzag, broader, and more widely separated. Anterior wings with the 

 inner margin wholly brown to the submedian nervure ; three eyes in the pale 

 area, a very large one just below the middle, black with a white pupil, and outer 

 yellow and blackish rings ; and a small pair nearer the apex, with the yellow 

 rings confluent, and enclosed in a common brown pear-shaped rim ; the lowest 

 eye is smaller and rather nearer the base than the other. Hind wings with six 

 eyes in brown rims ; the two outermost are detached ; the four inner ones are 

 paired, the yellow rings touching, and each pair being enclosed by a common 

 brown rim ; the fifth eye is largest, and the two first are rudimentary, without 

 white pupils. 



Underside very similar to that of M. Durga, but the spaces on both wings 

 in \\liich the rows of ocelli are situate are much paler. 



Hab. Salawaty (Doherty). 



In the Collections of the Hon. W. Rothschild and of Mr. H. Grose Smith.

 (Doherty). 



A male marked " Koon, W. Doherty " is in Mr. Rothschild's Collection.
