12 LEPIBOPTERA IN DIG A. 



and obtusely pointed, exterior margin almost even, oblique, with a slight tendency 

 to angulation below the apex ; posterior angle pointed ; first subcostal veinlet 

 emitted at one-eighth before end of the cell, second at a nearly equal distance 

 beyond the cell, third at nearly one-half, and fourth and fifth at four-fifths ; cell 

 closed by a slender lower discocellular veinlet. Hindiving triangular, posteriorly 

 produced ; apex convex ; exterior margin slightly scalloped ; precostal vein acutely 

 bent at its middle and with a short inner spur at the angle ; cell closed by a slender 

 lower discocellular veinlet. Palpi rather stout, apex thick ; antennge stout ; eyes 

 hairy. Sexes dissimilar. 



Type. — D. Morgiana. 



Differs from typical Potamis (Iris) in both wings having the exterior margin 

 more even, the cell in both fore and hindwings being closed by a slender lower dis- 

 cocellular veinlet. The forewing is narrower at the apex, the posterior angle more' 

 pointed, and the second subcostal emitted beyond the cell. The palpi are stouter, 

 and the eyes are hairy.

Imago. — Male. Upperside golden-black, the basal area thickly studded with 



lustrous golden scales ; cilia alternately edged with white. Forewing crossed by an 



outwardly-oblique discal golden-yellow macular band and a shorter broken band 



beyond, both being edged with brighter and lustrous golden scales ; the outer border 



below the apex also studded with dark golden-yellow scales ; before the apex are 



three superposed pure white spots, the two lower being minute. Eindwing crossed 



by a very broad discal lustrous golden-yellow band, and a submarginal golden-yellow 



narrow lunular line, which latter is dilated anteriorly and posteriorly ; the abdominal 



margin greyish-brown. Underside. Forewing paler, the black duller, the base 



yellowish-white, the apex pale olivescent-brown ; subapical spots, a patch at the 



apex, and another patch at the posterior angle being lilacine-white. Hindioing pale 



olivescent-brown, olivescent and yellowish anteriorly across the disc, the base and 



abdominal border being washed with lilacine-white; two slightly-defined yellow 



dots, or a lunule, within the cell and a lunule at its end ; a less distinct submarginal 



row of yellow dots. Body and palpi above golden-brown ; palpi beneath and body 



beneath white ; forelegs and femora white ; middle and hind tibice pale olivescent- 



yellow ; antennae black, club red ; eyes hairy, reddish.
