378 L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 
Subfamily Satyrinjj. 
48. Mycalesis ( Satoa ) maia, de Niceville. 
M. (Satoa) maia, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lxiii, pt. 2, p. 1, n. 1, pi. i, figs. 
1, male ; 2, female (1894). 
Grose Smith as maianeas. Snellen as majaneas [sic]. Hagen as 
maianeas. Occurs only in the large forest, and never at low elevations, 
its region commencing at Namoe Oekor and thence into the hills. It 
is always found on or very near to the ground. Very easily damaged, 
hardly ever is a perfect specimen obtained. 
49. # Mycalesis ( Dalapa ) sudra, Felder. 
Moore. Not rare in Java, unknown to us from Sumatra. 
50. Mycalesis ( Suralaya ) orseis, Hewitson. 
Grose Smith. Hagen. Snellen. Kirby. Distant. Also a true 
butterfly of the high forest, and is the only Sumatran Mycalesis which 
has a bluish gloss on the upperside of the wings as so many forest butter¬ 
flies have in a greater or less degree, such as the Coelites , Thaumantis , Ama- 
thuxidia dilucida , Honratli, and others ; even the Lampides of the forest, 
L. saturata , Snellen, L. elpis, Godart, and L subdita, Moore, are far 
richer and deeper blue than the Lampides celeno , Cramer, of the roads. 
51. Mycalesis ( Orsotrisena ) medus, Fabricius. 
Hewitson as hesione . Snellen as hesione. Grose Smith as hesione. 
Hagen. Distant. Very common in the plains. The dry-season form of 
the species found in many parts of India, M. runeka , Moore, is quite 
unknown in Sumatra. Dr. Martin has bred it in Sumatra on grass, 
from eggs laid by females shut up in glass prune bottles. He considers 
that Orsotrimna should be used in its full generic sense, as the larva and 
and pupa differ greatly from the larvie and pupae of species of Calysisme 
and Mydosama which he has also bred from the egg laid in confinement, 
the larvae of these subgenera also feeding on various species of grass. 
M. medus in Sumatra occurs all the year round, generation following 
generation in rapid succession. Dr. Martin notes that “ The ocelli on 
the underside of the wings possess in this species a quite peculiar glossy 
surrounding, which I know to occur only in the Indian genus Zipoetes , 
Hewitson.” 
52. Mycalesis ( Calysisme ) perseus, Fabricius. 
Grose Smith as samba and lalassis. Hagen as blasius , var. lalassis 
Hewitson. M. blasius is the wet-season, and M. perseus the dry-season
