spot and a large quadrangular one between the radial veins, sometimes another smaller one below it. Beneath 

 the hindwing is red-brown with deeper red-brown, torn macular bands. Venezuela. 

 gmijoni. D. gaujotli Mab. is allied to e-pipJianeus. Above black with 3 confluent subapical dots and 3 separate 



discal spots, the lowest punctiform, the third touching the cellular spot. Hindwing with 3 large, reddish -yellow 

 spots, one of which is at the base of the cell. Fringes at the ends red-brown. Beneath the hindwing is red- 

 brown with the spots as above, bordered by 4 black transverse lines, the basal spot being double owing 

 to another one being situate above it. Ecuador (Zamora). 



D. ochrolimbata sf. nov. (179 k). Above blackish-brown with a coppery reflection and ochreous-brown 

 fringes. In the cell-end and below it there are 2 insignificant, small, ochreous-yellow spots and subapically 

 3 minute dots. Beneath the apex of the forewing, and the hindwing are chestnut, the spots of the forewing 

 are expanded and lighter towards the proximal margin. According to 1 .^ from Peru (Pozuzo) from the Coll. 

 Seitz. 



D. quadristriga Mab. (179 k) initiates a group of smaller species being above unmarked blackish-brown. 

 The fringes are somewhat lighter, the forewing is scantily strewn with yellowish k'ales. Beneath the forewina 

 is jet-black in the basal two thirds, at the apex and the costal margin red-broln; at the margin there is a 

 triangular, reddish-white spot, tripartite by the veins, beginning near the proxirivl angle. Hindwing red-brown 

 with 4 rows of small black strigiform spots, forming dissimilar transverse lines/ costal margin and submedian 

 space blackish. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Described from Merida (Venezuela). 

 bolivienvls. D. boHviensis Mab. is very much like quadristriga: above brown with a Ightcr reflection and a yellowish 



middle of the distal margin and black veins; fringes dark grey. Forewing beipth blackish, at the costa and 

 apex greyish-white, in the submedian space a large, white triangular spot withC small ones above it ; proximal 

 margin ashy-grey. Hindwing dark grey, at the co.stal margin almost black a|d with 3 small brown bands in 

 the middle of the wing, the 2 distal ones close together, near the costal angle vectingularly broken, at the costal 

 margin united; the 3rd at the cell-end is more blackish. Bolivia. 

 mcnila. D. merula Mab. (179 k) is above monotonously brownish-black, hetwen the veins with a somewhat 



reddish reflex and with dirty grey fringes. Beneath black, the proximal margin c the forewing, the distal half of 

 the submedian space and a spot above it are purely white ; the blackish hindwig is powdered with yellow or 

 yellowish-grey atoms, at the proximal margin more densely so, and traversedby 3 blackish, undulate lines, 

 2 nearing each other at the margin, a broader, somewhat blurred one in the liddle. Bolivia (Chaco). It is 

 perhaps synonymous with eburones (p. 925). 

 )iiorvii. D. morva Mab. is brown with a light ferruginous reflection, veins ad marginal line black, fringes 



red-brown. Beneath the forewing is yellowish-grey, dusted with a light grey, tb middle of the margin blackish, 

 the proximal margin in a triangular shape dirty white. Hindwing dark yel wish-grey, strewn with yellow 

 with 3 fine blackish transverse lines which are somewhat blurred. Bolivia. 

 ri-a. D. riza Mab. is ferruginous-brown with a red reflection: the forewir exhibits 2 subapical dots, the 



upper quadrangular one being larger, a third reddish white spot is situate in e disc between the lower radial 

 veins. The margin is narrowly blackish. Hindwing similar, between the upperadial veins and below the costal 

 margin with 2 small lighter red-brown spots, just like the inner- marginal fo covered with long yellow hair. 

 Forewing beneath light ferruginous, the inner-marginal part yellow, below le discal spot a yellow dot: on 

 the ends of the veins there are black dots. Hindwing in the disc light vioh ferruginous-brown at the base, 

 between the veins with two brownish-black strigiform lines. Expanse of wis: 22 mm. Colombia. 



granites. D. granites Mab. is allied to riza. Forewing with 3 subapical dot^nd 2 white spots in an oblique 



line between the median veins, the lower large, quadrangular, almost fused ith a similar cell-spot; hindwing 

 black with red-brown fringes. Forewing beneath black, at the costa and ex red-brown, the spots form a 

 band being below light yellow, above reddish-yellow. Hindwing light red-twn with 2 small undulate stripes 

 beginning at the blackish proximal margin and disappearing in the middle. Ecuador (Loja). 



polydesmu. D. polydesma Mab. Above brown with 3 light yellow subapical do a spot in the middle of the cell 



and 2 more behind it and below it. Hindwing with a dot in the middlif the cell and 4 greyish-yellow 

 ones behind it in the shape of a small discal band. Forewing beneath very lij reddish-yellow, distally blackish. 

 at the apex reddish-brown. Hindwing light reddish-brown with blackish Is, composed of bent streaks, bor- 

 dering on an irregular oval, beneath bordered by a dentate line; a cell-enc'reak. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. 

 Venezuela (Merida). 



itjhara. D. ibtiara Btlr. (= crithote i/ew., plancus Hpffr.) (179 k) is a-'e blackish- brown with a slight 



olive tint and somewhat lighter spots on the forewing: one in the cell, o behind it and below it, by two 

 far distally removed spots connected with the 2 subapical ones to a curved r ; in the submedian .space, separated 

 by the fold, 2 more oblong nebulous spots. Beneath light brownish-grey, the disc blackish, the spots whiter, 

 near the proximal margin united into a large triangular spot. Hindwi strewn with yellowish-grej- scales, 

 traversed by 4 fine, undulate transverse lines. Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, > in Brazil (Para). 



(jyram. D. gyrans Plotz (= anomala Mab.) (180 a). Above similar, but 1 spots only punctiform, and instead 



of the 2 submedian spots there is only 1 dot removed far proximally. Thindwings are un.spotted or exhibit
