( 5S7 ) 



A remarkable species on account of its close agreement with D. eickhorni in 

 the markings on the underside of the hindwing. The nenration of the two species 

 shows a constant difference. In eichhorni the lower angle of the cell of the fore- 

 wing is pointed, while it is obtuse in catim, and the cross-vein of the hindwing i-i 

 distinctly incurved or angulate in eichhorni and straight or very feebly incurved in 

 catisa. The forewing of catisa is broader than in eichhorni, and the hindwing more 

 evenly rounded, being shorter costally. 



The costal border on the upperside of the forewing is 2 mm. broad ; the distal 

 border extends to the cross-vein, there being sometimes diffuse white scaling 

 just outside the black cross-vein, and has a width of 3 mm. at the lower median 



vein ; one subapical dot is sometimes indicated, The border of the hindwing is 



1 mm. wide or less, being nearly restricted to the fringes posteriorly and more or 

 less interrupted at the veins. 



The black costal border on the underside of the forewing is broader than 

 above, occupying about one-half of the cell ; the discocellnlar bar is broad and 

 joined to the distal border, a short band of three yellowish spots being isolated 

 from the light-colonred area and situated at the subcostal-radial fork. There is 

 a curved row of three subapical dots, usually followed by two or three submarginal 

 dots : the first dot is yellow, and the second, which is the largest of all, is 

 tinged with yellow proximally, the others being also more or less shaded with 

 yellow. The light-coloured area, which extends to the base and iiindmargin, and 

 is anteriorly bounded by vein R', is white as far as it is covered by the hindwing 

 and anteriorly more or less deeply suffused with sulphur-yellow ; in D. eichhorni 



this area is uniformly orange. The pattern of the hindwing is the same as in 



I), eichhorni ; but while the white central marking shaped like the figure 3 bears 

 a prominent yellow streak in each cellule in D. eichhorni, the streaks are absent, or 

 at most indicated, in cellules W — R^ and R' — M' in catisa. Moreover, the fourth 

 and fifth submarginal spots are larger and more triangular ; the last spot is less 

 extended yellow, and the yellow line along SM- is appreciably deeper in tone. 



Length of forewing : 23 mm.

The black border of both wings is narrower than in true bornemanm, the white 

 area of the forewing extending to the lower angle of the cell. The spots on the 

 underside of the hindwing are larger and much duller red, the first submarginal 

 spot being 12 to 14 mm. long. These spots vary a good deal in size, especially the 

 cell-spot and the submarginal spots 2 to 5, but are never so small as they are in 

 the majority of the specimens of true bornemanni.
