M. mnasicles, Hewitson, Ex. Butt., vol. iii, pi. Mycalesis v, figs. 32, 33, male 
(1864). 
Hewitson. Grose Smith. Hagen as mnasicles [sic]. Distant. Kirby. 
Originally described from Sumatra. Rather rare in the forests and in 
pepper gardens ; not found at so low an elevation even as Namoe Oekor, 
somewhat plentiful at Loeu Boentoe near the Battak frontier. This 
species is the largest of all the Sumatran Mycalesis, and small males only 
may be equalled in size by very large females of M. mineus, Linnaeus, 
or M. orseis , Hewitson. The shape of the forewing also is very different 
from all our other species of the genus. 
57. Mycalesis ( Martanda ) janahdana, Moore. 
Grose Smith. Snellen. Hagen. Distant. Occurs not uncommonly 
in the forests of the plains. The large deep velvety black spot — which 
is a “male-mark”—in and around the discoidal cell of the forewing on 
the upperside of the male, and the mottled underside of both wings 
makes this species of easy recognition. The caterpillars feed only at 
night. The butterfly emerges from the pupa very late in the day, not 
before two or three o’clock p. M., all the other species bred by Dr. 
Martin emerged between nine and ten o’clock a.m. It flies mostly at 
dawn and the dusk of the evening, and is a good example of the crepus¬ 
cular habits of so many tropical butterflies. 
58. *Mycalksis ( Martanda) megamede, Hewitson. 
Hewitson. Grose Smith. Originally described from Ternate; 
Hewitson records it from Macassar in Celebes, Gilolo, Batchian, Ternate, 
Sumatra, Malacca and Java; Moore records it from Celebes, Cilolo and 
Batchian. It is unknown to us. 
59. Mycalesis ( Mydosama ) fuscum, Felder. 
Hewitson as diniche. Snellen. Grose Smith as diniche twice over. 
Hagen. Distant as fusca [sic]. Common in the forests at the foot of the 
hills and also in the plains, near rivers, and at Stabat. In coloration 
it is intermediate between the fuscous and yellow species of Mycalesis. 
60. Mycalesis ( Mydosama ) anapita, Moore. 
Hewitson. Grose Smith. Snellen. Hagen. Common in the 
forests of the plains.

Mydosama marginata, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, p. 307.
