Fenutli'. Uppekside tawiiy, darkest towartls the base, and on the posterior 

 wings. Anterior wings with an irregular blaclc dasli on the upper pai-t of th(^ 

 end of the cell, and the apex and hind margin with a black border, broadest on 

 the costa, projecting inwards at the middle of the inner margin, and a curved 

 row of four white dots near the apex, wliicli is rather more truncated than in the 

 male. Posterior wngs with a black marginal and two submargiual lines, the 

 innermost faintest, within which are three black dots, two corresponding to the 

 usual large eyes of the underside, and the third smaller, nearer the costa. Anal 

 angle blackish, slightly clouded with grey. 



Underside light brown, with a slight pearly grey lustre, with a common 

 brown band, which, on the anterior wings, is slightly zigzag at each end, and 

 does not extend to the costa ; on the posterior wings it is nearly straight and 

 oblique. The hind margins shade into yellowish tawny, especially on the 

 j)o?terior wngs. Anterior wings with four rufous lines in the cell, a whitish 

 patch towards the apex, and eight whitish submarginal spots, the four first 

 corresponding to those of the upperside. Posterior \vings with two rufoiis 

 curved lines towards the base, one in and one above the cell, and three eyes, the 

 uppermost nearly obsolete, the pupils of which are black nnd pale blue, and the 

 rings light brown ; the space between hardly darker than the ground-colour, liut

 from Duke of York Island ; but a considerable series of both sexes in the Collection of Mr. 

 Grose Smith, we think, wan-ants its separation as a distinct species. What we consider to be the 

 true male of D. Browni is a larger insect, with a tawny bar across the black apex of the anterior 

 >vings, very much as in the male of D. Bisaltide, Cramer.
