24 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



Underside rufous brown, glossed with purple. Both wings with a large spot at the end 

 of the cell : a transverse rufous-brown band beyond the middle (not continuous where the wings 

 meet), nearly straight and equal on the anterior wing, broad and slightly broken on the 

 posterior wing and bordered on both sides with white : the caudal spot (which is crowned with 

 orange) and the lobe black, the space between them irrorated with silvery white: a sub- 

 marginal line of white : the margin black.

This species is so closely allied to D. Chozeba that I had passed it over, beheving it to be its 

 female, until I found that they were both of the same sex ; it differs from D. Chozeba in the 

 less acute apex of the anterior wing and the larger proportion of blue. On the underside it is 

 tinted with purple : the spots and bands are much more distinctly marked than in D. Chozeba, 

 and resemble D. Varuna. I regret that there is no figure, being quite aware of the futility 

 of attempting to define, by written description only, the minute traits which serve to mark the 

 specific distinctions of closely allied species amongst the Lycamida.

Upperside. Male. — Brown, glossed with blue. Posterior wing tailed : the anal lobe 

 with a spot of orange-yellow. 



Underside rufous brown. Both wings with two lines at the end of the cell : both crossed 

 beyond the middle by a transverse band (not continuous where the wings meet), on the 

 anterior wing straight and even, slightly interrupted on the posterior wing : both with a very 

 indistinct band near the outer margin : the caudal spot (which is crowned with orange) and 

 the lobe black : a large space between them irrorated with silvery white : a submarginal line 

 and a line above the lobe white.
