Mai. p.'48, t. vii. fig. 4 £ • A single female of this species from Perak agrees with the plate, except that the dull orange band of the fore wing is much fainter and almost obsolete except near the costa. MYCALESIS JANARDANA. M.janardana, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. i. p. 234 ; Butt. hid. i. p. 128; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 54, t. v. fig. 2. Martanda janardana, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 169. Seems fairly common at Perak in January and February. Fresh males show a black velvety sexual patch of scales covering the whole of the centre of the fore wing, which is not mentioned by Moore or Di.^tant. The female is larger and with rounder wings. I should include this in the same group as M. fuscum and dohertyi and probably maianeas; though Moore says the subcostal tuft of hairs on the hind wing is double, I can see no difference in it. MYCALESIS MNASICLES. M. mnasicles, Hew, Ex. Butt. iii. Myc. t. v. ?2, 33 S ; Butt. Ind. i. p. 126. This species, which has hitherto been considered rare, was taken in some numbers by Doherty at the foot of the Karen Hills in East Pegu. MYCALESIS ANAPITA. M. anapita, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. i. p. 232 ; Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 418, t. xxxix. fig. 8. Not rare at Perak in January. LETHE BHAIRAVA. Debis bhairava, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. i. p. 217 (1857); Butt. Ind. i. p. 139. Abundant in the Naga Hills at 6000 to 7000 feet and agrees with Sikkim specimens. LETHE LATIARIS. Debis latiaris, Hew. Ex. Butt. iii. Debis, t. 1. 4 (1862); Butt. Ind. i. p. 140. Abundant in the Karen Hills at 4000 to 5000 feet. LETHE SINORIX. Debis sinorix, Hew. Ex. Butt. iii. Debis, t. 3. 19, 20 (1862). Lethe sinorix, Butt. Ind. i. p. 144. Occurs in the Naga Hills, and in the Karen Hills at 4000 to 5000 feet. |
