SATYRID^E MTCALESIS. 



Underside, with tlie basal half rufous-brown ; both wings crossed at the 

 middle by a hroad hand of pale yellow, followed by a broader band of lilac, marked 

 with numerous ocelli ; four on the anterior wing, the second and third small -. six on 

 the posterior wing, crowded together, of nearly equal size, except the fifth, which is 

 largest, all with pupils of blue and rufous margins ; both wings with a submarginal 

 band of pale yellow ; the margins rufous. 



The male does not differ, except that it is smaller ; that the upper side has 

 the margins of a darker browm, the base less clouded, and the underside of the pos- 

 terior wing crossed at the middle by a narroiD baud of lilac.

MYCALESIS MUCIA. 11, 1:2. 



Upperside. Female brown. Anterior wing with the base rufous, succeeded 

 by a broad irregular band of orange-yellow ; the outer half dark brown, with three 

 ocelli ; two near the apex, one of which is very minute ; all with pupils of light blue : 

 posterior wing rufous-brown, with three ocelli, the midtUe one largest and most 

 distinct ; both wings with a submarginal band and line of black. 



Underside, with the basal half white, slightly tinted with yellow ; both wings 

 crossed at the middle by a broad irregular band of dark rufous-brown, curved on 

 its outer border, so as to make room for the ocelli, which follow ; from this band 

 to the outer margin rufous-grey, with two submarginal waved brown lines : anterior 

 wing with two large ocelli : posterior wing with four, the outer one smallest ; all with 

 white pupils and rufous borders. 



The male differs only in being smaller, of a much darker brown above, with one 

 ocellus only on the posterior wing : on the underside the sexes are alike.

The insects of this and the preceding plate differ so much in their general appearance and 

 colour that I have examined them carefully, wishing to fiud some character by which to separate them, 

 but without success. Dr. Fekler has, however, done so, but without sufficient foundation upon which 

 to establish his new genus: first, the somewhat longer and narrower cell; and, secondly, the hirsute 

 eyes. jM. Malsara has a cell of the same form, and more than two-thirds of the species of Mycalesis 

 have hairy eyes. It is a character of no value in this genus, e.xcept to distinguish species, some of 

 those which are the most nearly allied being with or without hirsute eyes.
