Mycalesis mineus

Mycalesis mineus, the dark-brand bush brown,[1][2][3] is a species of satyrine butterfly found in Asia.

[1][2] Wet-season form: Upperside dark Vandyke brown; forewings and hindwings with slender subterminal and terminal pale lines.

Forewing with a single white-centred, fulvous-ringed, black ocellus, generally set in a square pale area, in interspace 2, occasionally a similar smaller ocellus without any pale surrounding area in interspace 5.

Underside from ochraceous brown to dusky brown of a darker shade; basal half of the wings conspicuously darker than the outer portions; the whole surface irrorated (sprinkled) with fine brown striae; sometimes a distinct dark discal band crosses both wings; ocelli nearly obsolete, indicated by minute white specks, the posterior four on the hindwing in a straight line as in the wet-season form.

Male sex-mark in form 1 as in M. perseus, but the patch of specialized scales on the underside of the forewing half as large again.
