M. coccinea Moore is very much distinguished by 3 brown transverse bands bordered with red on 
an orange ground; the proximal band is connected in the cell with the median band, being here angled towards 
the base, the median band is connected with the distal band below the median vein; an antemarginal row of 
carmine spots. Hindwings carmine-pink. Body orange, shoulder-covers spotted blackish-brown. 32 mm. — 
Assam. 
M. eccentropis Meyr. (18 d). The white forewings exhibit an orange-yellow median band, in front of 
it two rows of black spots; at the cell-encl a black spot, in the marginal area black vein-streaks. The yellowish- 
white hindwings also show small black streak-spots at the border. — Assam, Burma. 
M. maculifasciata Hmps. (18 d) is twice as large as eccentropis , with much more extended wings and 
of a yellow brownish ground-colour, otherwise, however, similarly marked. — Burma. 
M. parameia Rothsch. <$: antennae black, head orange; thorax the same, on the patagia and posterior 
part of the thorax small black spots; abdomen orange. Forewing milky-white with an orange base; a small 
basal spot, three antemedian bands composed of three small black spots each, the distal two fifths of the wing 
black, with white internerval stripes. Hindwing semi-diaphanous white with a sooty margin. The $ is larger, 
all the wings creamy-white, two curved antemedian bands, a median band and a stigma on the forewing are 
brownish-black. The veins in the distal two fifths of the forewing black; on the veins in the distal fifth of 
the hindwing brownish-black stripes. Length of forewings: 16, $ 18 mm. Manson Hill in Tonkin (H.

M. nigralba Hmps. (18 d) is also like eccentropis, the rows of black spots extend into the middle of 
the wing, behind them follows a dentate transverse line with particularly long teeth on the lowest subcostal 
vein, the lower radial vein and upper median vein; in the marginal area interrupted black streaks. — Burma. 
M. radians Moore (18 d). The marking is similar as in the preceding, but the ground-colour light 
ochreous-yellow, the posterior transverse line only little dentate, and the black vein-streaks in the marginal 
area uninterrupted. -— Occurring from Assam and Sikkim, Calcutta to Java (Batavia). 
M. syntypica Swinh. greatly resembles radians ; ground-colour purely white; two basal transverse 
lines and one median line, each composed of 3 parts, their distal bordering quite straight and not distally 
angled as in radians ; distal dot and vein-streaks the same as there. -—- Sumatra. 
M. zebrina Moore (18 d) is also similar, but the wings are narrower and longer, the median line rather 
coherent, the posterior transverse line almost straight, not dentate on the upper radial. — Bhutan, Calcutta. 
M. prominens Moore (18 e) is larger than zebrina, of a darker yellow; the row of spots representing 
the anterior transverse line is angularly broken in the cell, the median line coherent, almost straight; the posterior 
transverse line is pointedly dentated on the lowest subcostal vein, the upper and lower radial veins. •— Assam. 
M. delicata Moore ( 1 8 f) differs from prominens by the almost extinct macular lines in the basal part 
and the posterior transverse line being dissolved into dots. -— Sikkim. 
M. linga Moore (= tripartita Whr.) (Vol. II, 11 e), from the Himalaya and Sikkim, extending in 
Kashmir as far as into the palearctic region, is much larger than the preceding, in the scheme of marking similar, 
but only with a proximal and a median row of spots, the subbasal one being absent, the postmedian one only 
faintly indicated, from which black vein-streaks proceed, not quite reaching to the margin. 
M. phaeoxanthia Hmps. ( 1 8 e) has ochreous-yellow forewings with somewhat faded, obliquely running, 
blackish-brown dentate lines; in a marginal direction from the posterior transverse line the cell-spaces are 
filled up by more or less confluent spots extending at the apex, at the proximal angle and on the lower radial 
as far as the margin. — Assam. 
M. multidentata Hmps. (18 e) is orange-yellow, on the hindwings and abdomen suffused with pink. 
The forewings exhibit 4 black dentate lines, the one situate most closely to the margin is broken up. — Burn. 
M. quadrifasciata Rothsch. In the the head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen are yellow, with a 
salmon-tint over it. Forewings yellow, with a scarlet tone; an antemedian band, a median one and two post¬ 
median ones, more or less dentate, slate-coloured. Hindwings semi-transparent rosy-buff. Length of forewings: 
13 mm. German New Guinea.
