Hindwéng with a small black spot at an unusua distance from the base of the tail, the outer 
margin rufous,” 
‘This is a species of peculiar interest, and unlike anything we have yet seen. I place it 
here with some doubt. In its form and the colouring of the underside it resembles Axops” 
{=Curetis, Hiibner]. (Hewstson, 1, c.) 
I have no doubt that Hewitson and Felder described, within a few months of each other, 
Opposite sexes of one species as two distinct species, though Hewitson says that the AZyrina 
usira of Felder is “ very near to JZ, donina, but differs from it, according to Felder’s figure, in 
the arrangement of the inner band on the underside of the forewing.” (Ill. Diurn. Lep., Suppl. 
Pp. 4, n. 49 (1869). There is aslight difference certainly, but I think it is due to the rough drawing 
of Felder’s figure. The male and female are very nearly alike, the former is rather smaller, the 
wings less broad, the double series of white spots near the outer margin of the hindwing on 
the upperside about half as large. Mr. W. Doherty obtained this species in the Chittagong 
Hill Tracts, Major C. T. Bingham captured a single female specimen in the Donat Range, 
Upper Tenasserim in January, Mr. Hewitson recorded it from Burma, and Dr, Felder from 
Malacca interior. It is not included in Mr. Distant’s ‘‘ Rhopalocera Malayana.” 
The figure shews both sides of the female specimen from the Donat Range, Upper Tenas- 
serim, in my collection. 
An apparently allied species has been described as below* from’Singapore. It differs 
in coloration in the male very considerably from D. donina, Hewitson, as the basal two-thirds 
of the forewing on the upperside is brilliant blue, which colour is absent in the female, in which 
sex the two species would be more nearly alike,

“MALE. Wings large, broad. FOREWING, triangular, first subcostal nervule emitted at 
nearly half before the end of the cell, second at one-fourth, ¢hird bifid and emitted from near the 
end of the cell, fourth at half from below the third and terminating at the apex, 7/th from the 
end of the cell ; désco-cellular nervules slightly recurved, disco¢dal nervule from the middle ; 
second median nervule at one-fifth before the end of the cell, f#vs¢ median at one-third before the 
end ; submedian nervure recurved ; no tuft onthe posterior margin. HINDWING, broadly ovate ; 
exterior margin slightly sinuous below the apex; anal lobe large; furnished with a single 
long slender ¢az/; no costal glandular patch; costal mervure much arched and terminating 
at the apex ; first subcostal nervule emitted at one-third before the end of the cell ; disco-cellular 
nervules oblique, déscoidal nervule from the middle; second median nervule emitted at one- 
eighth before the end of the cell ; frst median at nearly one-half before the end ; submedian 
nervure straight ; ixfernal nervure recurved. Body very robust ; antenne with a long thickened 
club, Type, Z. evyx, Linnzeus.” (Afoore, 1. c.) 
In the forewing of the male the outer margin is very straight and oblique, the second 
subcostal nervule originates nearer to the base of the first than to the base of the upper dis- 
coidal, the third subcostal nervule is given off from the costal nervure about midway between the’

male (1863). Hasirar: Singapore. Expanse: Made and female, 1°55 inches. DescrirTIon: “* Mate. Up- 
peRsipe, both wings dark brown. /orewing brilliant blue from the base to beyond the middle. Hindwing with 
one tail, the anal angle and a marginal line black; a ([subanal] band of four spots, two caudal spots (one 
touching the margin), the fai/, and the ci/ia, white. UNDERSIDE, both wings white. /orewing with its outer 
half rufous, marked at the anal angle by two white spots, and bordered inwardly by darker colour, forming a 
transverse band across the wing. Hindwing witha short rufous band at the apex ; the outer margin, two spots 
near it (one on each side of the tail), a band above them, and a spot above the band, all black. Femate 
does not differ from the male, except thatit is without the blue colour on the uppErsiDE of the forewing.”

This species is not included in Mr. Distant’s ‘‘Rhopalocera Malayana.” I place ita little doubtfully in 
this genus, though it has many points in common with the type species, the shape of the wings is much the same, 
the tail is the same, both species have white spots on a blackish ground on the upperside of the hindwing, and 
the ground-colour of the underside is the same. Both species appear to lack secondary sexual characters in 
the male. I have seen no specimen of it,
