182 Mr. BE. Doubleday on some new Diurnal Lepidoptera. 
This species as closely resembles A. Hippocoon and Eupl. Nia- 
vius as D. dubia does Eupl. Damocles. I have adopted the name 
under which it stands in Dr. Boisduval’s cabinet. 
D. Euryta. OD. alis omnibus supra nigro-fuscis, fascia media, com- 
muni, transversa, albida, anticis punctis duobus basalibus albis, 
nigrisque quinque, fascia subapicali alba, posticis subtus basi ru- 
fescente, punctis utrinque basalibus, nigris decem ( 2). Exp. alar. 
3 unc. 3 lin. vel 82 millim. 
Hab. Africa Occidentali. 
This insect is the true P. Euryta of Clerck, t. 31.f. 4, but not 
the A. Euryta of Godart. Perhaps P. Hirce of Drury (Diadema 
FMirce, Cat. of Lep. Brit. Mus. 97) is only the male of this spe- 
cies. I have however seen a specimen, apparently a male, more 
nearly resembling D. Euryta in colour in the fine collection of 
M. Marechal at Paris. I therefore give the characters of D. Hirce. 
D. Hirce. D.alis anticis rufo-fuscis, basi nigro punctatis supra ma- 
cula subapicali alteraque marginis interni rufis, posticis rufis basi 
nigro punctatis, striato fimbriatoque margine externo nigro subtus 
basi saturatiore. 
D. Nyctelius. D. alis anticis supra nigris, apice ceruleo-nitente, 
margine externo albido striato; posticis albidis, basi, nervulis, 
margineque externo fuscis. Exp. alar. 3 unc. 3 lin. vel 82 millim. 
Hab. Sylhet. 
Anterior wings brownish black, the apex broadly shaded with 
pale blue, the colour varying with the direction of the light : be- 
tween the nervules isa series of whitish strize, becoming less elon- 
gate towards the anal angle; posterior wings dusky white, fus- 
cous at the base, the outer margin narrowly fuscous, the colour 
extending inwards between the nervules, which also are fuscous. 
Below the anterior wings are fuscous, with a marginal series of 
whitish spots, and two submarginal ones near the anal angle. 
Posterior wings fuscous ; the ner margin and a double series of 
ill-defined spots towards the outer margin, of which those of the 
inner series are rounded, of the outer elongate, geminate, whitish. 
Head and thorax black with white dots; antenne with an 
elongate club, fuscous. 
Abdomen fuscous. 
In the collection of the British Museum. 
This species closely resembles some of the Indian Huplee.
