  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  pinkish-brown, 
  siiffused 
  with 
  dull 
  purple 
  in 
  

   certain 
  lights. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  unicolorous. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  an 
  obscure 
  

   patch 
  of 
  reddish-brown 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  and 
  

   two 
  submarginal 
  obscure 
  streaks 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  colour 
  between 
  the 
  discoidal 
  and 
  

   middle 
  median 
  nervules.

  Closely 
  resembles 
  D. 
  Ptdchra, 
  Gucrin, 
  and 
  D. 
  Dccumtn, 
  

   Hewitson, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  both 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  basal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   wings 
  much 
  darker, 
  and 
  the 
  pale 
  narrow 
  row 
  of 
  streaks 
  on 
  these 
  wings, 
  which 
  

   crosses 
  the 
  disc 
  on 
  its 
  outer 
  fourth 
  uninterruptedly, 
  curves 
  inwardly 
  towards 
  

   the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  and 
  terminates 
  further 
  from 
  the 
  apex 
  in 
  two 
  elongate 
  wliite 
  

   spots, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  additional 
  white 
  spot 
  between 
  the 
  veins 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell. 
  

   The 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  more 
  orange-brown, 
  and 
  the 
  light 
  spots 
  and 
  markings 
  

   are 
  less 
  distinctly 
  indicated, 
  many 
  of 
  them 
  being 
  tinged 
  with 
  pale 
  orange- 
  

   brown.
