Hind wing upper surface pale yellow, suffused with dull red. Genitalia. <J scobinate bar and cornutus as in Text-fig. 40. Material examined. Madagascar: Betioky-Sud, <$, (Prochaska), in MNHN, Paris. Distribution : Madagascar. Remarks. Allied to M. decorata and M. leucosticta. The absence of pink from the proximal area of the costal region in M. decorata distinguishes it from M. prochaskai. Differences between leucosticta and prochaskai are less marked; in leucosticta the pink longitudinal costal band is comparatively narrow, passing through only a part of the costal region, and often broken postmedially.
