Very nearly allied to D. smaragdina, Brem. (E. Siberia), from 

 which, however, it eeems to me distinct. Judging from Bremer's 

 figure, the two species would seem to be alike on the upper-side ; but 

 D.japonica differs beneath in the absence of the discocellular markings, 

 and in the transverse white streak of the hind-wing being acutely an- 

 gulated towards the anal angle (not oltuse, as Bremer describes D. 

 smaragdina). Between the two black spots at the anal angle of hind- 

 wing is a third small one, bearing some whitish scales in the middle. 

 There are a few metallic-blue scales on the outer edge of the spot at 

 the anal angle. The orange is continued along the inner margin for a 

 Bhort distance.

Very closely allied to D. Taxila, Brem. The fore-wings are 

 brown, darker at the apex, and along the hind margin, and possess in the 

 male a yellowish square patch at the end of the cell, which is con- 

 tinued obliquely in the direction of a point on the hind margin a little 

 above the anal angle. This portion is ill-defined. On the under-side, 

 the pattern of the wings much resembles that of D. Taxila, but the 

 transverse streak of fore-wing is longer than in that species (judging 

 from Bremer's figure), and the streak on the hind-wing is distinctly an- 

 gulated in the form of a W, which does not appear to bo the case in 

 the allied species.
