"Mycalesis patnia", Glad-eye Bushbrown, is a species of Satyrinae butterfly found in Asia. The South Indian race "Mycalesis patnia junonia" Butler, 1868 (Malabar Glad-eye Bushbrown) is identical to the nominate race from Sri Lanka but on the upperside is a duller brown colour; the median ocellus on the fore wing encircled with pure white; no discal patch, or merely faint traces of one. Underside markings are similar to those in "Mycalesis patnia patnia", but altogether of a duller and browner shade, without any general ochraceous tint, a large bright ochraceous spot posteriorly on the hind wing in the male. The median ocellus on the fore wing broadly encircled with white. Male sex-marks are seen in one morph.
