I have very briefly characterised ttis genus, which only contains, 

 at prcBcnt, a single species, D. TetJiys, Men. Hitherto this insect has 

 been associated doubtfully with Pyrgus (sect. Erynnis) or with Niso- 

 niades, but it differs considerably from both in structure. The an- 

 tennre are long and very slender, and terminate in a gradually formed 

 hooked fusiform club. They are provided with a tuft of hair at the 

 base. The palpi have the second joint covered beneath with squamous 

 scales, whilst the terminal joint is scantily clothed with short hairs. 

 The fore-wings of the male appear to be destitute of the costal fold 

 found both in Pyrgus and Nisoniades.

PampJiila Dara, KoU. ? — I am doubtful about the identity of the 

 Japanese insect with this Himalayan form ; but Indian examples in 

 Brit. Mus. (so named) come very close to those sent by Mr. Pryer.
