M. umbrina Hmps. (25 h). Forewing ochreous tinged with bright rufous except on inner area; the 
costal area, the median nervure and nervules, and the terminal area with brownish suffusion; inner line obscure, 
inangled in cell, inwardly oblique and rufous from cell to inner margin; a dark dot in cell at middle and 
slight lunule at its end; median line oblique and rufous from cell to inner margin; outer line double red- 
brown, strongly excurved to vein 4, then oblique to inner margin; hindwing brownish grey. Found in the 
Nilgiri Hills, Madras and at Pirmad, Travancore, S. India. 
Sect. II. Antennae of $ shortly ciliated; veins 3 and 4 stalked. 
M. separata Walk. (25 h, i). Forewing whitish; the basal area flushed with ochreous and dusted 
with fuscous, the median with dark olive brown, the whole irrorated with dark brown; inner line blackish, 
defined by white on inner side, inwardly oblique from subcostal vein to inner margin; outer line w r hite edged 
on each side with dark, oblique from costa to vein 6, and followed by a pale striga, then generally interrupted 
and retracted basewards to below reniform, then outwardly oblique and slightly sinuous to inner margin; 
the reniform with white annulus, the centre either wholly dark or formed of two black spots united by a line; 
veins beyond end of cell with blackish streaks defined by white, often very much confused; subterminal line pale, 
indented on both folds and excurved between, preceded by blackish wedge shaped marks in the interspaces; 
fringe with yellowish white basal line, black middle line, and fuscous tips; hindwing grey brown; usually the dark 
dusting is strongest in the $<$, which therefore appear darker. The type from Borneo; also found in India, 
the Malay peninsula, Hainan, Java. 
M. renalis Moore (25 i). Slightly larger than separata ; the brown triangular area between inner 
and outer lines of forewing decidedly broader and pale olive brown; the outer line straight not sinuous contin¬ 
uous with the inner edge of reniform, its costal arm not followed by a pale striga as in separata', the terminal 
third less darkly dusted; the reniform with two black spots at centre; a diffuse oblique brownish shade from 
apex. An Indian species, occurring in the Punjab, whence Moore’s type, and in the Ivhasia Hills, Assam. 
M. curvilinea spec. nov. (25 i). Forewing with basal area pure white with a dark brown costal streak 
and sometimes pale brown on inner margin; inner line black, oblique inwards and crenulate below middle; 
outer line distinct only from lower end of reniform to anal angle, followed by a broad white band pointed 
at lower end; the reniform large and white, with two dark spots at centre, the lower the larger, sometimes ob¬ 
solescent, connected with costa by a white diffuse curved mark; it is followed by a diffuse black brown 
blotch connected with a dark brown oblique streak from apex; median triangular area black brown except 
at inner margin which is paler olive brown, like the terminal area; subterminal line diffuse whitish, inwardly 
marked with blackish, only shortly indented at each fold; fringe pale below apex and at anal angle, iron grey 
and fuscous between; hindwing pale grey, darker towards apex with a grey cellspot; underside of forewing 
dark fuscous, the costal beyond middle and the veins yellow; hindwing white with black dusting at costa; a 
black triangular cell spot, dark waved outer line, and traces of a subterminal; head and thorax brown more or 
less mixed with white; abdomen grey white. Larger than renalis ; distinguished by the contrast between the 
black brown and pure white markings. The Nilgiri and Palni Hills, Madras. 
M. lativitta Moore (25 i). Forewing with basal area white suffused with pale golden brown, more 
deeply in $; a black dot at base of cell; rest of wing golden brown; inner line as in curvilinea ; outer line 
oblique outwards from costa to vein 6 and white, with a black striga on each side at costa; black and obscure, 
incurved, from 6 to lower end of cell, then black broadly edged with white to tornus; reniform white with two 
black dots separated by a pale brown cloud; a diffuse black cloud beyond middle of outer line, nearly connect¬ 
ed with an oblique black streak from apex; subterminal line whitish, faintly indented on the folds, preceded 
by yellowish and followed by blackish scaling; fringe iron grey, with a yellowish basal line and a yellow patch 
below apex; hindwing dark grey, darker at apex; cellspot grey. Occurs in Madras and Travancore, S. India, 
and in Ceylon. 
M. ferrugina Trnr. (25 i). Forewing with median and terminal areas bright fulvous brown; 
the basal area white with grey dusting slightly mixed with brown at costa and inner margin; in¬ 
ner line oblique inwards black edged with white on inner side; outer line white, oblique from costa to 
vein 6 and edged with brown, vertical and fine to 4, then slightly incurved and straight to inner margin, 
followed below middle by some greyish white scaling; reniform stigma 8-shapecl, white with two black spots 
at centre; subterminal line greyish white, fine, inangled at vein 7 and indented on each fold; fringe white,
