Mycalesis visala orcha Evans, 1912[1] | |
Mycalesis orcha, the pale-brand bushbrown,[2][3] is a satyrine butterfly found in south India.[2][4] Some authors consider this as a subspecies of Mycalesis visala.[4]
Description
The male brand is as in Mycalesis visala. But the wings are not so pointed. In underside, the ocelli are smaller and never quite developed. In the dry-season forms, the lower ocellus on the fore-wing below shows up as a very prominent white spot. The white discal line is much diffused outwards.[1][5]
