Description
The dark Brand Bush Brown is one of the most common species of the many look-alike species of the genus Mycalesis. It is a drab-looking butterfly, with a dark-greyish brown upperside and a paler underside which features a white post-discal stripe on the fore and hindwings. There are fewer ocelli on the underside of the forewing than when compared with the other species of the genus. There are a total of 6 species of the Genus Mycalesis which are found in Singapore. As these are rather common butterflies, they are usually ignored by most observers.
