    Mycalesis perseoides.

    1. Broad white striae.
    2. HW HW inner margins of eyespots form an irregular (spikey) line indenting away from the white band.
    3. HW dark line forms a tooth at vein 1b.
    4. FW cell often with dark striae.

    Forms with a less defined 'tooth'.

    Thank you, Dr Seow.
    I am trying to update my species checklist. We have previously ID this as M.visala. Is it correct?

    Also is this M.visala?

    Post 3.

    1. Mycalesis mineus.

    a. Peripheral white striae (ie marginal & submarginal) not much broadened, & do not merge with the other white striae around the eyespots.
    b. HW inner margins of eyespots indent deeply in upper third often triangular in shape.
    c. HW lower 4 eyespots almost in a straight line.
    d. HW dark line without a 'tooth'.
