Mycalesis dentata, sp. n. (Figs. 4, 4 a, 5 on plate, p. 66.) 
Both wings entirely dark brown on the upper side; a dull 
ochreous patch near the apical portion of the fore-wing, but not 
very distinct; two submarginal lines, one light brown and the 
second much darker, strongly marked on the hind-wing. The 
hind margin of both wings very much dentated, approaching 
M. suassurri, Dewitz, in appearance. 
Under side : basal area very dark brown, ending in a wavy 
line which extends from the costa to the inner margin of the 
hind-wing, above the discoidal cell; the marginal border lighter 
in tint, suffused with ochreous yellow; a slightly sinuated line 
traversing the submarginal border, and a larger patch of the same 
colour near the apex. Three distinct white-pupilled black ocelli, 
with a yellow iris encircled with dark brown, the outer portion 
again encircled with a violaceous gloss. Of the ocelli near the 
apex, the lower one is very minute, the third being large and 
between the first and third median nervules. 
Hind-wing very similar to the fore-wing, but with no ochreous 
shading. A complete submarginal row of ocelli from the costal 
margin to the submedian nervure, varying in size, the smallest 
being between the second and third median nervules. All these 
ocelli have the yellow iris surrounded with brown and a violaceous 
gloss as in the fore-wing; there is an additional ocellus, very 
minute on the inner margin, just above the anal angle. 
Hab. £ Kavirondo. Nov.—Dec. 1889. Expanse, 1.7 inch. 
The female is very similar to the male, somewhat larger, and 
paler in colour. The ochreous-yellow apical patch on the under 
side is rather larger and a little deeper in colour (only one ocellus 
being visible near the apex), and has a minute spot above and 
below. The submarginal row of ocelli on the hind-wing are not 
quite so large, and the two between the second and third median 
nervules and the discoidal nervule are almost obsolete.
