 to D. Bolina $ , but postmedian white l^and distinctly 

 quadritid, less broadly surrounded with purple ; subapical 

 spot bitid, discal points obsolescent ; secondaries with a 

 large circular central purple patch, without any white

 below rather paler; primaries nearly as in D. Bolina S, 

 but with postmedian wdiite band unsullied ; discal spots 

 smaller, submarginal lunated spots dusky ; secondaries 

 with large white costal spot ; a nebulous squamose central 

 transverse whitish streak ; a bifid subanal blackish-edged 

 white spot on abdominal margin ; six internervular discal 

 white dots ; two squamose submarginal interrupted lunulate 

 series of subochraceous spots ; fringe white-varied ; body 

 as in D. Bolina : expanse, 3 inches, 1 line. 



? . Similar to JD. Alcmene 5 , excepting that the post- 

 median band of primaries is distinctly quinquefid, lilacine 

 irrorated with white, or entirely white, that the subapical 

 spot touches the costal nervure, is large, trifid, and edged 

 with lilacine ; that the discal spots are larger, the sub- 

 marginal spots on all the wings smaller and less distinct, 

 and that there is no trace of tawny on them ; secondaries 

 with more or less distinct central blue spot ; wings below 

 uniform olive-brown : markings arranged as in D. Alcmene 

 but all clear creamy white ; the postmedian band of 

 primaries distinct and well marked as in D. Auge ? , the 

 transverse nebulous postmedian band of secondaries 

 broader than in D. Alcmene.
