Mycalesis subdita, the Tamil bushbrown,[1][2] is a satyrine butterfly found in south India and Sri Lanka.[1][2] It is not resolved whether this is a good species or is a subspecies of Mycalesis visala.[1][2]
Description
Closely resembles in both seasonal forms Mycalesis mineus. The male can be discriminated by the sex-mark on the underside of the forewing: this is brown or ochraceous brown as in M. perseoides but very much longer and broader, extending to but not going beyond the transverse band crossing the wings.[3][4]
