Only two species of this group are known : the type species L. oroatis* inhabits Java ; 

 the other, which is apparently very closely allied, and may be only the continental representative 

 of the Javan species, was discovered in Upper Tenasserim by Captain C. T. 15ingham. The 

 bright rufous colouring of these species gradually darkening to the outer margin, distinguish them 

 from all other Asiatic Mycalcsis.

Description : Male : Upperside rich bright fulvous ; the costa, the apical area 

 broadly, and thence decreasing to the inner angle of (he /o' civiiig; and the outer margin of the 

 hinihving suffused darker. Fomoivg with a minute black dot in the upper discoidal, and a 

 larger spot in the first median interspace, black, surrounded with an indistinct lighter iris than 

 the ground-colour. Undersidf rich brown, with a common narrow discal purple band, beyond 

 which the ground-colour is much lighter. An indistinct dark bar crosses the middle of the cell 

 in the /oreu'it/g, and a similar subbasal line in the hiinhviiig. Forewing with the spots of the 

 upperside replaced by two small equal-sized ocelli Uiiidwing with a series of seven ocelli, 

 the first three small, subequal, the fourth minute, the fifth the largest, the sixth and seventh in 

 the same interspace equal in size to the three first. Two indistinct waved marginal lines to both 

 wings. The sexual characters consist of a pale glandular patch on the underside of the inner 

 margin of the forewing, and a similar patch on the upperside of the costal margin of the 

 liindwing, with, on the latter, a tuft of hair at the base of the subcostal nervure, which tuft is 

 dark brown at the base, and the tips of the hairs yellow. A similar tuft of hairs occupies 

 a slit in the middle of the submedian nervure of the hindwing, "^ith the opening above. 



Differs from 3f. oroatis in the smaller size of all the .ocelli. In M. oroaiis the lower 

 ocellus on the upperside of the forewing is large, perfect, and occupies the entire breadth of 

 the interspace. 



A single specimen was taken by Captain C. T. Bingham in the Donat Range in January, 

 which is now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; and another taken in the lower Thoungyeen 

 forests has been deposited in the British Museum, where it now stands as L. fervida, Butler. 

 The FEMALE is unknown.
