SATYRID.E MYCALESIS. 



Underside rufous, brighter towards the anal angle of the posterior wing ; both 

 wings crossed near the base, and again at the middle by a rufous band ; both with the 

 outer margin and two parallel lines black, the inner line of the anterior wing zig-zag ; 

 anterior wing with four ocelli : three near the apex small, the other large ; posterior 

 wing with seven ocelli of nearly equal size ; all black, with white pupils, the iris rufous, 

 bordered with black, and again with rufous-yellow.

MYCALESIS JOPAS. 24. 



Upperside. Male, bromi ; the outer margin grey, traversed by two dark brown 

 hues : the cilia grey-white. 



Underside grey-brown ; both wings crossed beyond the middle by a narrow 

 band of white and by four submarginal lines of white and black alternately. An- 

 terior wing with four ocelli touching each other : the two apical ocelli smaller than 

 the others ; posterior wing with five ocelli touching -. the middle ocellus out of line, and 

 less than the others ; all black, with large pupils of white, the iris rufous, bordered 

 with brown, and again with white.

Nearly allied to M. Hesione of Cramer, of \Ybioli it is, probably, only a variety. 



MYCALESIS ANAXIAS. 25, 2G. 



Upperside. Male, brown ; anterior wing crossed near the apex liy an oblique 

 band of white. 



Underside dark brown from the base to beyond the middle (its border on the 

 anterior wing angular), followed by a l)road margin clouded with lilac and grey, aud 

 rufous-brown : traversed by three lines of dark brown : the cilia lilac ; anterior wing 

 with the white band as above, and three small ocelli, two above, one below the band ;

Believing that all names which are not necessary for its elucidation, servo only to retard the study 

 of natural history, and to disgust those who might, if more simply constructed, make it tlieir pursuit, 

 I have retained tliis species in tbe genus Jlycalesis, although the first disco-cellular iiervure of the 

 posterior wing is very singularly placed, taking its rise from the subcostal nervure near the base of the 

 wing; aud, instead of crossing the wing transversely or obliquely, running down longitudinally, until it 

 meets the second disco-cellular nervure at the usual place.
