A variable species. The male is sometimes, as in Kollar's figure, without the red spot on the 

 middle of the anterior wing ; sometimes it is more distinctly marked than in the figure 42 of 

 the plate. In colour it differs from other allied species, and, like the females of Varuna and 

 Pheretima, is of a dull grey- or indigo-blue. On the underside the transverse band is far apart 

 where the wings meet. 



20. Deudorix Orseis, Hewitson. 



Upperside. Male. — Dark brown, glossed with dull indigo-blue. Anterior wing with the 

 apex rounded. Posterior wing taded : the anal lobe black, with a spot of orange-yellow.
