Posterior wing about as wide as the anterior, sub-ovate, the apex 
pointed and the costal margin but slightly convex; the costal attains the 
margin behind the middle; the discal cell is closed by a much curved 
discal vein which emits eb branches to the posterior margin : the sub- 
costal sends a branch to the apex from near the end of the celland beyond 
the discal vein becomes furcate, both branches attaining the margin behind 
the apex. Median and submedian both simple, and both attain the pos- 
terior margin. 
‘The roughened head and palpi and the shape and neuration of the 
wings ally this genus to Zevea and its congeners. 
D. corruscifasciella. NV. sp. 
fead, palpi, basal joint of the antennae, thorax and basal half of the 
anterior wings golden yellow ; antennae glistening snowy white, the apical 
half annulate with velvetty black ; just before the middle of the anterior 
wing, in the yellowish portion, is a brilliant metallic fascia. ‘he central 
portion of the apical part of the wing is occupied by a large, nearly 
circular, greyish drab spot, containing four longitudinal velvetty black 
streaks, bordered before by a brilliant metallic costal streak which points 
towards the fascia ; and behind by a similar costal streak pointing towards 
the dorso-apical margin. The grayish drab spot is separated from the 
dorsal margin by a rather large triangular velvetty black patch, the apex 
of which touches the dorso-apical margin. ‘This triangular streak is 
dusted a little with grayish drab scales; two metallic spots on the disc, 
and four dorsal spots of the same hue. Costo-apical margin and the apex 
brownish golden, with a bright metallic fascia interrupted in the middle, 
and another streak of the same hue at the extremeapex. Posterior wings 
purplish fuscous; under surface of both wings purplish fuscous mixed 
with yellowish green, and the fascia and streaks of the forewing visible 
through the wing. Abdomen black washed with golden, and cach seg- 
ment margined beneath with silvery; legs black, ue with white.
