The White-bar Bushbrown (''Mycalesis anaxias'') is a species of satyrid butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia. In South Asia, it inhabits Sikkim, eastwards through the hill-ranges to Assam, Cachar, Myanmar and Tenasserim. Also in Southern India, in the Nilgiris and Travancore. ==Description== :''See glossary of Lepidopteran terms for terminology used'' Wet-season form: male and female: Upperside dull van dyke-brown, paler in the female; subterminal and terminal fine lines on both fore and hind wings fulvescent: cilia brown.
