patch very prominent. Underside ochreous, with the fascie and other markings 
similar to those in male D. Zal. Female. Upperside paler ochreous-brown, externally 
and between the markings dusky-brown. Forewing with the three transverse rows 
of ochreous spots larger than in male, the discal row being much larger, very 
prominent, and slightly paler, the dusky-brown cell dots and discocellular spot 
present. Hindwing with a complete discal row, and two submarginal rows of much 
larger paler ochreous spots, and outer lunular border. Underside paler than in male; 
crossed with fasciz as in D. Zal, the basal area also being speckled with transverse 
brown strige, the two small ocelloid spots on hindwing as in D. Zal. 
Expanse, ¢ 3,%, ? 4;% inches.

The male of D. spiloptera is distinguishable from the same sex of D. Zal, by 
the difference in size, shape, and colour of the spots on the forewing; the female also 
differing from that sex of D. Zal, in these spots being larger, both the inner and 
middle series being erect, and wide apart at their upper end. The type specimens, 
from which our descriptions and figures are taken, are now in the possession of the 
Honble. Walter Rothschild, who has kindly lent them for this purpose, and were 
taken in Sikkim by Mr. Otto Moller’s native collectors, in the middle of March, 
1887, at about 2000 feet elevation. 
Our illustrations of this species, on Plate 154, fig. 1, la are taken from the type 
specimens of the male and female, which have been kindly lent for this purpose by 
the Honble. Walter Rothschild.

figure by Stoll, and the females with the type specimen of Menetho, in the “ Linnean 
Cabinet,” in the possession of the Linnean Society of London, a label upon which 
latter specimen states that, Jones’ figure (from which Fabricius’ description was 
taken) was made from this identical specimen. The Javan female has the ochreous 
band on the forewing broad only at its upper end (from the costa to the upper 
median), below which are two inner-discal small spots and two outer lunules, 
followed by the submarginal row of five lunular patches and the marginal lunules,
