with white, and with black and white vein-dots behind it; the maculae are indicated by white, the reniform 
macula being proximally prolonged on the median; before the whitish undulate line there are short black 
streaks. Hindwing blackish-brown. Brazil. 
M. sanctanna Gn. (38 1) is somewhat similar to bertha, larger, lighter brown, only in the costal-marginal sanctanna.

the anterior line double, the small white oblique ring-macula is surrounded with black, the similar reniform 
macula has a brown centre; behind the distal transverse line at the costal margin a quadrangular black spot

sides bordered with white, the anterior line more with yellow, the posterior line in the lower half with black 
vein-streaks; between the maculae, which are surrounded with white and below almost connected, there is 
a black cellular spot, behind the reniform macula another one; before the indistinct whitish undulate line there 
is at the costal margin a black spot with small white costal-marginal dots, in the centre 2 minute black spots. 
Hindwing brownish with a darker postmedian line. Brazil. 
M. phlegyas Schs. (42 c) is a very small species with whitish-brown forewings, at the costal margin phlegyas.

line only begins below the cell and has a dark brown, distally white-edged spot behind it on the submedian 
fold; the large maculae are white, the reniform macula has a light brown centre, between and behind them

area there are indistinct darker subterminal spots. Hindwing dark brown. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. French

M. pulchra Drc. (39 a) is a well-known, more widely distributed small species with whitish forewings pulchra.
