silvery in D. gcetulia; the lines defining the disco-cellular nervules 

 and those forming the discal band much closer together ; there are 

 also no metallic green scales on the outer margin of the hindwing 

 in the first median interspace and anterior to the anal lobe usually 

 found in D. epijarhas. It is also allied to D. diovis, Hewitson, from 

 Australia, to D. woodfordi, Druce,* and to D. viridens, Druce,t both 

 from the Solomon Islands, but the broad blact margin to the hind- 

 wing on the upperside and the entirely red anal lobe will at once 

 distinguish it from those species. Another allied species is the 

 D. calderon of Kheil,t from Nias Island, but it has the scarlet areas 

 on the upperside smaller, and from the description there does not 

 appear to be any discal fascia on the underside of the forewing. 

 Still other allied species are D. ribhei, Eober,§ and D. affinis, 

 Rober,|| both from South Celebes, but the former has far more, 

 while the latter has considerably less, scarlet on the upperside of. 

 both wings than I), gcetulia. 



Described from two specimens, one (the winga of which have 

 been placed between talc) in the collection of the Rev. Walter 

 H. Hamilton, the other in my own collection, and kindly presented 

 to me by that gentleman, both obtained in the Khasi Hills by 

 Mr. Hamilton's native collectors. 



P. 8. — Since the above was written I have seen the MS. type male 

 specimen of Mr. Elwes' " Bu'pala" hyjoargyria from the Karen Hills, 

 East Pegu. On the upperside of the forewing in D. gcetulia the 

 coppery-red discal area extends just anterior to the third median 

 nervule, in " R." hypargyria it barely reaches that vein ; on the 

 hindwing in D. gcekdia the anal lobe is coppery-red, in " E." 

 hypargyria it is jet-black crowned with snow-white. On the under- 

 side " JB." hypargyria is paler, much more silvery- white, on the 

 forewing there are no disco-cellular lines or discal macular band, and 

 on the hindwing also the disco-cellular lines are absent, and the
