The Orange Bushbrown (''Mycalesis terminus'') is a species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found in Indonesia (Irian Jaya, Maluku), New Guinea and Australia (Queensland).〔(Australian Faunal Directory )〕 The wingspan is about 40 mm. Adults are dark brown with a large orange patch on each forewing and an eyespot on each forewing and three on each hindwing. They suck the juice of rotting fruit but have also been recorded feeding on dew and sap.〔(Australian Insects )〕 The larvae feed on various Poaceae species, including ''Themeda triandra'', ''Panicum maximum'', ''Imperata cylindrica'' and ''Oplismenus'' species. Young larvae feed on the leaftips of their host plant. They are brown with a faint dark dorsal line and obscure diagonal markings.
