 hairy." Type, /. mootei. {Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., 1880, p. 166). 



Eighth Group. — CuLAPA, Moore. "Fore-coing longer than in Calysisme ; costa very 

 slightly arched ; apex produced ; exterior margin very oblique and slightly convex below the 

 apex ; cell longer and narrower ; third subcostal branch nearer the fourth. Hindwing 

 somewhat quadrate, apical angle slightly acute ; exterior margin convex hindward and trun- 

 cated at anal angle ; abdominal margin long ; cell triangular ; disco-cellulars very oblique ; 

 middle median branch emitted at some distance before lower end of the cell. Male with 

 a tuft of fine hair exserted from base of cell, and covering a small glandular patch above base 

 of first subcostal branch. Antenna with a well-formed, slightly-stout club. /V?/// compactly 

 clothed with shorter hair. Eyes hairy." (Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, p. 825 ; id., 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1880, p. 165). 



Only a single species of this group is known, occurring in Sumatra, and reappearing in 

 Upper Tenasserim. Its elongate forewing, and the great size of the lower ocellus on that 

 wing, are its chief distinctive features.

Habitat : Tenasserim, Sumatra. 



Expanse: (?,2-5; ?, 3-0 inches. 



Description: "Male: Upperside rufous brown; both wings wrth a submarginal 

 black line. Fomving with two ocelli, one at the apex minute, the other beJow the middle, 

 very large. Hindiuing with one indistinct ocellus and a submarginal band of indistinct 

 lunular spots. Underside with the basal half rufous ; both wings crossed before the middle, 

 and at the middle by common rufous brown narrow bands ; both with two black lines near 

 the outer margin, and apteubmarginal zigzag rufous band. Forewing with five ocelli, the first 

 four minute, the fifth larger, and marked with a large white pupil. Hindiving with seven 

 small ocelli, the first and fifth the largest. The female does not differ except in size 

 [and of course in lacking the sexual tuft on the hindzoing']." (Heioitson, 1. c.) 



M. mnasicles is a rare insect and has only as yet been taken in Upper Tenasserim within 

 Indian limits. Limborg took it in April at Ahsown, 2,000 feet elevation, and Meetan, 3,000 

 feet elevation ; and Captain C. T. Bingham took a single female also in April in the 

 Thoungyeen forests. 



The figure shows the upper and undersides of the female specimen taken by Captain 

 Bingham, and now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



Underside darker, the line of the upperside swarthy, unequally defined with white externally, the margin 

 beyond it very dilute brown ; with five ocelli in the forewing, seven in the hiiulwing, coloured as in yl/. sudra,\ 

 and surrounded with fuscous dots, beyond them divided by a submarginal line, mucli drawn back in the fort' 

 wing, another before the margin, and a third before the cilia blender fuscuus." (FelUer, 1. c.)
