LYC.ENID/E. ' III 



This close ally of D. Diodes, Hewits., may at once be recognised by the red 

 sub-basal ocelli on the under side of the hind-wings, and, as regards the $ , 

 by the uniform dark-brown of the fore-wing. In the latter sex of Dariaves 

 the forehead and tip of abdomen are red, but the former is of a duller 

 tint. The female, to judge from Hewitson's figure and description, is darker 

 than that of Dwdes, and without any violaceous-blue gloss, while possessing 

 a whitish band in the hind-wings not represented in Diodes. On the under 

 side the hind-wings, except near base, are much whiter than the fore-wings 

 (owing to the enlargement of the white edges of the principal markings), — a 

 character which also distinguishes the species from Diodes. 



D. Dariaves was discovered at Delagoa Bay by the late Mr. J. J. Mon- 

 teiro, and I have received a specimen of the $ taken by Mrs. Monteiro in 

 the same locality.

 angle, where there is a fine linear black edging ; tail black, white- 

 tipped ; a small hind-marginal black spot immediately below tail ; a

 lobe. Under side. — Brov:nish-grey (except inner-marginal area of
