NYMPHALID.E. SATYRIN^. MYCALESIS. 107 



87. Mycalesis anazioidos, Marshall, n. sp. 



Habitat : Upper Tenasserim. 



Expanse: <?,2'ito2'4; ?, 2-5 inches. 



Description : Male almost identical in colour and markings Avith Tenasserim speci- 

 mens of M. anaxias, but with the border on the underside duller, lacking the decided 

 lilac and yellowish tints. The seven ocelli of the hituhvuig present, but all minute ; a 

 single, very small, ocellus on the y^;r<c7«f above the second median nervule, and above that 

 a series of three or four equally small black dots representing obsolete ocelli ; in M. anaxias 

 these dots are white, not black. The female differs from the male in being paler coloured 

 above and below, and the subapical band on the upperside of the foreioing twice as wide. 

 Underside with the ocelli of the hindwiitg i\v\cQ as large as in the male, though they are 

 still small, those on the forewing also are more numerous and larger. 



Captain C. T. Bingham took two males of this new species in the lower Thoungyeen forests 

 in Upper Tenasserim in May, and one male and a female in March. It appears to affect lower 

 elevations than does M. anaxias, but nothing beyond the record of these captures is known of it. 



Second Group. — Gareris : '^ IVings broader than in Virapa. /^i'r^iv';;^ more angular at 

 apex, the costa much more arched, venation of MALE and the glandular patch of raised scales and 

 tuft similar. Hindwing with the first subcostal branch in the MALE swollen beneath at its base 

 above the cell, and covered on the upperside by a tuft of hair ; the two upper median branches 

 emitted from end of the cell. Eyes hairy." {Aloore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1880, p. 156), 



Eey to the Indian Species of Gareris. 



A. a. a', b''. Upperside of forewing with a large lower, and one or three smaller upper ocelli. 



a". Underside of both wings with complete series of perfect submarginal ocelli. 



88. M. (Gareris) gopa, Sikkim. 



i". Underside of both wings with incomplete series of rudimentary ocelli. 



89. M. (Gareris) sanatana, Kulu, Sikkim, Upper Burma, Tenasserim. 



This group contains four species only ; one { M. francisca, Cramer) occurs in China, 

 another (M. perdicias, Hewitson) is found in Shanghai and Japan. In both the Indian species 

 the median band on the underside is outwardly bordered with pale violet.

Habitat : Sikkim, 



Expanse : 2 '2 inches. 



Description : " Male ; Upperside fuscous. Forewing with a tuft of fuscous hairs above 

 an internal black tuft ; a small subapical ocellus [sometimes with a smaller one above and below 

 it and touching], and another rather large between the first median branches, black, pupilled 

 with white, obsoletely encircled more palely than the ground-colour. Hindzving with the exter- 

 nal margin paler and divided by a [two] wavy fuscous streak [s]. Underside paler, powdered 

 with ochraceous, especially on the paler external margin, which is divided by two fuscous 

 streaks (the inner of which in the forewing is well drawn back), a fuscous basal streak 

 twice bent in the hindudng, a streak beyond the middle slender, deeply fuscous, margined 

 outwardly with lilac. Fornvino with five [or six] black white-pupilled ocelli, circled with ochra- 

 ceous brown and widely bordered with fuscous, the uppermost, third and fourth minute, the 

 second larger, the lowest large. Hindiving with seven ocelli of the same colour in a series 

 nearly parallel to the margin, the second and third smallest of all, the uppermost, fourth and 

 sixth medium sized, the fifth rather large." {Fe/der, 1. c. ). The female is coloured and 

 marked like the male, differing only in the presence occasionally (not always) of a subanal 

 ocellus on the upperside of the hindwing ; and also in lacking the glandular pouches and tufts. 



Af. gopa is a rare Butterfly ; it has only hitherto been found in Sikkim. Col. Lang's 

 collection contains several specimens of both sexes taken by Dr. Jerdon, Mr. de Niceville took 

 a single male specimen at about 3,000 feet elevation in October, and Mr, Otto Moller has 

 recently taken several specimens in the neighbourliood of Darjiling in the same month.
