c? <? ■ Closely resembles in both seasonal forms M . mineus. The 

 S can be discriminated by the sex -mark on the underside of the 

 fore wing : this is brown or ochraceous brown as in M. perseoides, 

 but very much longer and broader, extending to but not going 

 beyond the transverse band crossing the wings (fig. 16, C.) 



Exp. s 2 48-60 mm. (1-9-2-35").

($ 9. . In colour and the markings on the wings both seasonal 

 forms of M. visala closely resemble those of M. mineus. On the 

 whole, however, M. visala runs larger, and as a rule both sexes 

 (in the continental form, not in the insular race) can be 

 discriminated from the males and females of allied forms by the 

 shape of the fore wing. This is, as a rule, produced and acute 

 at apex, with the termen below sharply transverse. The males, 

 moreover, have the sex-mark on the underside of the fore wing 

 rather bright ochraceous and very long, extending beyond the 

 transverse bands crossing the wings (fig. 16, D, p. 56). 



Exp. 6 $ 52-61 mm. (2-05-2-4"). 



Hob. Eecorded from Kumaun, Sikhim, Bhutan. Bengal, the 

 Central Provinces, and South India. Eastwards, M. visala has 

 been sent from the Naga Hills, and is spread generally through 

 Burma and Tenasserim. 



Race andamana, Moore. — c? $ • Male sex-mark on the under- 

 side of the fore wing as in M. visala. Shape of wings much 

 more rounded in both seasonal forms of both sexes ; in this 

 closely resembling M. mineus, but the ground-colour of the w 7 ings 

 is darker and the ocelli proportionately larger. Disposition of 

 the ocelli apparently quite constant. Upperside: fore wing — two 

 ocelli, the posterior the larger ; hind wing — none in the 6 , an 

 obscure one in the $ . Underside : both sexes, fore wing with two, 

 hind wing with seven ocelli ; the posterior four of the latter 

 disposed as in M. mineus. 



Exp. S 52-58 mm. (2-05-2-27").
