SATYRID.E. — MYCALESIS. 18 



XVIII.— MYCALESIS PERSA. Fios. 7, 8. 



Mtjcalcsis Persa, H. Grose-Smith, " Novitates Zoologicae," Vol. II., p. 81 

 (June, 1895). 



Exp. If inches. 



Male. Upperside. Differs from JJ. Perseus, Fabr., in both wings being more 

 rufous brown, and in the ocellus on the upperside of the anterior wings being 

 larger and surrounded by a bright rufous ring. 



On the UNDERSIDE there are only two ocelli on the anterior wangs, one near 

 the apex, the other between the two lowest median nervules, each surrounded 

 by a pale brown outer ring ; the pale streak which crosses the wings is much 

 more obscure and nearer to the ocelli than in M. Perseus. On the posterior 

 wings the pale streak is likewise more obscure and nearer to the row of ocelli, 

 and instead of being straight, as in 31. Perseus, it curves outwardly between the 

 lowest subcostal and upper median nervules. 



The female differs from the male in being paler, and the ocellus on the upper 

 side of the anterior wings being larger. 



Hab. Dili (Timor) (Doherty). 



In the Collections of the Hon. Walter Rothschild and Mr. Grose-Smith. 

 A series of seven sper-imens, none of which differ from the type.
