snbmedian vein. There are three small snbapical dots. The marginal baud of 

 the hindwino; is 7 mm. wide in the centre, being posteriorly a little broader than 

 anteriorly ; it is as shar|)ly defined as on the forevving, and does not bear any light 

 spots, its inner edge being slightly diffuse posteriorly on account of the long white 

 hairs of the abdominal area. 



On the underside the black marginal band of the forewing is narrower 

 posteriorly than above and its inner edge less regular, the subcostal spot situated 

 be)'ond tlie cell is larger, and there are snbapical orange spots as in the d^,but .some- 

 what larger. The hind wing differs from that of the c? in the much greater extent 



of black and a corresponding rednction of the light markings. Moreover, the central 

 area is white with a peculiar bu9ish tone, and the band of red and white Innules 

 is more distal and the orange spots at its outer side are reduced to two or three 

 spots before the anal angle and more or less indistinct traces of them farther 

 forward. 



Length of forewing : S 30 mm., ? 29 mm.

c?. Upperside white. The black costal border of the forewing does not enter 

 the cell. There is no discocellular bar ; the black marginal baud anteriorly extends 

 to the subcostal fork and gradually narrows to a point posteriorly. There is a faint 

 trace of a white subapical dot. The fringe and extreme edge of the hindwing are 

 black. 



On the underside the forewing bears a narrow discocellular bar and three or 

 four yellow subapical spots, the marginal band being centrally narrower than on the 



upperside. The central area of the hindwing is more rounded than in D. iltis and 



the preceding species, the part situated in front of the cell being essentially larger ; 

 the area is white with a distinct huffish yellow tint in the centre. The black post- 

 median band is narrower than the black streak situated before the abdominal area, 

 and is not lunate as in the previous species. The red line bordering the black band 

 is thin, being usually interrupted below the bend. It forms the inner border of 

 a pure white submarginal band, which is, below the miildle, half as wide as the 

 central area. This band is not at all broken up into spots, the black marginal border 

 being thin and only slightly widened at the veins, and this chiefly owing to the 

 margin itself being a little scalloped. 



?. The ground has a faintly yellowish tint. The forewing above bears two 

 white snbapical dots and the black marginal band is a little wider from the centre 



backwards than in the S , measuring nearly 2 mm. at the hind angle. The black 



border of the hindwing is as thin as in the c?. 



The underside is as in the <?, except for the forewing having a yellowish tone 

 proximally and distally, the yellow snbapical spots being larger, the centre of the 

 hindwing rather more extended yellowish, and the black bands and the red line 

 visibly broader.
