India: Madhya Pradesh, Jubbulpore, 2 $. Distribution. India. Remarks. The four specimens in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History) appear faded. In one specimen the fore wing upper surface has traces of pale red on the costal and anal regions. The colour and virtual absence of pattern from the upper surface of the fore and hind wings separate modesta from all but one other species in the genus, artaxoides. M. modesta and artaxoides can be separated on differences in the scobinate bar. The bar in modesta is more convex and closely packed with upward of 40 spicules (Text-fig. 99); in artaxoides the spicules are sparsely scattered and rarely exceed 20 in number (Text-fig. 95).. \j- -^ '1 'â â ,â â â > \ \ 97.
