Mycalesis patiana (Eliot)

Uncommon denizen of deep undergrowths. Can be differentiated from M. anapita by its deeper russet brown undersides, a darkened apical patch on the forewing underside. On the uppersides, the black wing borders are wider and touch the ocelli which is not white-ringed like in M. anapita.
