72'i) MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS MYCALESIS. [JlUlC 27, 



This appears to be another variety of otrea, but it does not quite 

 agree with any specimens that I have seen. 



In the ' Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera,' M. tabitha is placed in 

 the genus Satyrus (p. 391. n. 34) ; M. de^'imon, with a query, in 

 the genus Lasiommata (p. 387. n. 10). 



Sp. 3. Mycalesis blasius. (Fig. 4, p. 718.) 



PapUio hlasivs, Fabr. Ent. Syst. Suppl. v. p. 426. n. 488, 489 

 (1798).

"Alee omnes inteyerrimcE, supra fuscce, immaculatce : subtus vix 

 jiaUidiores striga media ob/iqua, alba. Antica pone strigam 

 ocellis fribus afris iride Jlavescente pnpillaque alba, intermedio 

 minvto. Ocelli annulo communi retiiformi includuntur. Margo

 — Ent. Syst. 



This seems to be identical with the M. samba of Mr. Moore's 

 ' Catalogue,' p. 233. n. 498 ; it diifers from lalassis. Hew., in having 

 smaller and less distinct ocelli, and not so many in the front wings ; 

 it is also rather smaller. 



Sp. 4. Mycalesis medus. 



Papilio medus, Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 488. u. 198 (177.5). 



Hab. Cape of Good Hope (Fabricius) ; Borneo. B.M. 



Fabricius has made a mistake as to the locality of this species ; it 

 is evidently identical with P. doris of Cramer ; the latter is said to 

 be from China, and is only a variety of M. hesione. 



Sp. a. Mycalesis martius*. 



Papilio martius, Fabricius, Ent. Svst. iii. pt. 1. p. 219. n. 68C 

 (1793). 



Hab. Java. B.M. 



"Alee omnes supra nigrce, immaculatce, subtus ifidem nigrcc mar- 

 gine pallidiore et in hoc margine alee anticce ocelli quatuor, 2. 4. 

 minutissimi, posticce ocellis septem tertio 7najori." — Ent. Syst. 



This species is closely allied to M. nala of Felder, the mamerta 

 of Moore's 'Catalogue;' it is, however, slightly smaller, and differs 

 in the width of the margin and the number and relative size of the 

 ocelli. 



Sp. 6. Mycalesis terminits. (Figs. 3, 3«, p. 718.) 



■^Papilio terminus, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. pt. 1. p. 220. n. 687 

 (1793). 



Hab. New Holland. B.M. 



* Felder has recently described and figured a variety of this species, only dif- 

 fering in the number of the ocelli of the front wings, as M. mourei, Feld. 

 + 1 be type is in the ISaiiksian collection.
