Tliis species seems intermediate l)et\veen JL JIiiituc and M. Etjum, not only in colours, 

 but in the structure of the for(> legs in the u. It is found at Kya. In my example the 

 yellow belt across the end of the cell in the forcAving is less distinct than it is in Cramer's 

 figure; the apical half of the wing is black, with two yellow macular belts, as in .]/. 

 Tjj'iiki ; there is a black s])ot in the angle formed ])y the first median nervure and its first 

 branch ; and the marginal row of jiale spots is indistinctly marked.

?. Expanse 2" '.)"'. Similar in size and general appearance to M. Mnciuc; diU'ersfrom 

 it in the absence of the yellow cross1)elt, and the ])resence of a very laru-e subapical 

 yellow spot on the fore wing. Fore ichuj : vhnrc, tawny orange; the costal margin near 

 the base, a stripe along the middle of the hind margin, an irregular s])ot within the 

 cell before the middle, a short oblicjue belt across the end of the cell touchinn' the costa, 

 a spot between the 1st and 2nd median branches near the median nervure, and the a])ieal 

 fourth of the -vving black; the black apical part extends along the outer mai-iiin. and is 

 conn(X'ted with an oblong spot which ascends between the 1st and 2n(l median l)ranches ; 

 tlun-c is a yellow spot on the costa, at the end of the cell, and a very large oblom;- yellow 

 .spot in the middle of the ajjical ])art, crossed by three nervures ; near the middle of the 

 black outer border are two large orange-tawny submargiual spots. Ucuculh, the same; 

 margin spotless. 



lllnd v:lii(i : r'/;r;r/', tawny orange ; a stripe ahmg tlie costa from the l)ase to the apex, 

 and a very laruc rounded spot which occupies the anal half ol' the wim;', black ; tliere is 

 also a small black spot l>etween the two radial nervures. Ilciirnlh, the same; mar^iin 

 spotless. 



Body and auteniue precisely as in .V. ^Tnciiip and M. Fji'mn. Foi-e til)ia' and tarsi of 

 the f^ elongated, but much shorter than the femur.

 its company.
