Nearly allied to MW. corythus, but all the markings of primaries darker and better- 
defined, the inner transverse bar filled in with blackish towards internal margin; second-

under surface of wings redder. Expanse of wings 2 inches. 
Silhet (Stainsforth). Type, B.M. 
A local representative of M. corythus. We have two examples in the collection of the 
British Museum; it is in Mr. Moore’s collection from Darjeeling.
