LYCANID. DEUDORIX. 449 
In the forewing the costal nervure terminates opposite to the end of the discoidal cell, 
the base of the second subcostal nervule is nearer to the base of the first than it is to the base 
of the upper discoidal nervule, the third subcostal originates about midway between the base 
of the upper discoidal nervule and the apex of the wing, which it does not reach, the middle 
and lower disco-cellular nervules are concave, upright, the middle one-third shorter than the 
lower, originating from the upper discoidal nervule but a little distance from its base, the 
second median nervule originates some little distance before the lower end of the cell, sub- 
median interspace broad. Male without secondary sexual characters on either wing. In the 
hindwing the costal nervure is very strongly arched at the base, the first subcostal nervule 
originates some little distance before the apex of the cell, the disco-cellular nervules are 
strongly outwardly dblique and in a straight line, the upper slightly shorter than the lower, the 
second median nervule originates just before the lower end of the cell. The palpi are con- 
spicuously thicker and longer in the female than in the male. The eyes are hairy. 
It is more than probable that true Deudorix is confined to the single type species, and that the 
other species here included in it is not a true Deudorix at all. Mr. Trimen in his “ South-African 
Butterflies” gives four South African species of Deudorix, but as they all have the secondary 
sexual characters in the male found in Rapala, Moore, and allied genera, they are not true 
Deudorices from my point of view. The male of D. efijarbas is rather deep red on the upperside, 
the costa and outer margin of the forewing black, the costal base of the hindwing black. The 
female is fuliginous-black on the upperside, somewhat inclined to fulvous on the disc of the 
forewing. Both sexes have abroad catenulated white band on the disc of both wings on 
the underside, the disco-cellular nervules also marked witha white line on either side, the 
anal lobe of the hindwing black, a black spot with outer orange ring in the first median 
interspace on the margin, with some metallic greenish scales between the anal lobe and black 
spot. D. darthema, Distant, I have not seen, butit is evidently a very different-looking 
insect. The female alone is known, On the upperside it is probably very similar to the same 
sex of D. efijarbas, on the underside however it is quite different, having a yellow instead of 
a pale brown ground, the catenulated band of D. efijarbas replaced by a linear fascia, The 
transformations of D. efijarbas will be found detailed under the description of the species.
