M. mnasicles, Hewitson, Ex. Butt., rol. iii, pi. Mycalesis v, figs. 32, 33, male 

 (1864). 



Hewitson. Grose Smith, Hagen as mnasicles [sic]. Distant. Kirby. 

 Originally described from Sumatra. Rather rare in the forests and in 

 pepper gardens ; not found at so low an elevation even as Namoe Oekor, 

 somewhat plentiful at Loeu Boentoe near the Battak frontier. This 

 species is the largest of all the Snmatran Mycalesis, and small males only 

 may be equalled in size by very large females of M. mineus, Linnseus, 

 or M. orseis, Hewitson. The shape of the forewingalso is very different 

 from all our other species of tlie genus. 



57. Mycalesis (Martanda) janardana, Moore. 



Grose Smith. Snellen. Hagen. Distant. Occurs not uncommonly 

 in the forests of the plains. The large deep velvety black spot — which 

 is a " male-mark " — in and around the discoidal cell of the forewing on 

 the upperside of the male, and the mottled underside of both wings 

 makes this species of easy recognition. The caterpillars feed only at 

 night. Tho butterfly emerges from the pupa very late in the day, not 

 before two or three o'clock p. M., all the other species bred by Dr. 

 Martin emerged between nine and ton o'clock a.m. It flies mostly at 

 dawn and the dusk of the evening, and is a good example of the crepus- 

 cular habits of so many tropical butterflies. 



58. # Mycalesis (Martanda) megamede, Hewitson. 



Hewitson. Grose Smith. Originally described from Ternate ; 

 Hewitson records it from Macassar in Celebes, Gilolo, Batchian, Ternate, 

 Sumatra, Malacca and Java ; Moore records it from Celebes, Gilolo and 

 Batchian. It is unknown to us. 



59. Mycalesis (Mydosama) fuscum, Felder. 



Hewitson as diniclie. Snellen. Grose Smith as diniche twice over. 

 Hagen. Distant as fusca [sic]. Common in the forests at the foot of the 

 hills and also in the plains, near rivers, and at Stabat. In coloration 

 it is intermediate between the fuscous and yellow species of Mycalesis. 



60. Mycalesis (Mydosama) anapita, Moore. 



Hewitson. Grose Smith. Snellen. Hagen. Common in the 

 forests of the plains.
