Original description (Oberthür 1913). “ Phassus bouvieri is close to regius, Str., and roseus, Obthr.; however, Phassus bouvieri does not present any vestige of the pink hue which characterizes regius and roseus . It is a very pretty species whose designs on the upper wings are very complicated and delicate.”

Female. Unknown.

Flight period. Unknown

Remarks. Forewing pattern with oblique white band (orange outline in Fig. 30b) broken by dark brown patch over outer anterior and central discal cells. Very similar to M. zhiduoensis . Male genitalia (Fig. 10) distinguished from all other species (where male is known) by larger and rounded lateral corners and broadly rounded anterior margin of the saccus. Sympatric with S. roseus (Fig. 31).
