Imago. — "Wings large. Forewing elongated, triangular, narrow ; apex rounded, 

 exterior margin very oblique ; costal vein extending to more than two-thirds the 

 margin ; subcostal vein three-branched, the first branch emitted at one-fifth before 

 end of the cell, second bifid, the third being thrown off from the second at fully one- 

 fourth from the apex, and the upper radial at about one-fifth beyond end of the 

 cell ; cell extending to more than half-length of the wing, very broad ; discocellulars 

 both slightly concave and oblique, lower radial from their angle ; middle median 

 at one-third and lower beyond half before end of cell ; submedian recurved. Hind- 

 wing oval, somewhat lengthened ; precostal vein straight, curved outward at tip ; 

 costal vein much arched ; first subcostal branch emitted at one-third before end of 

 the cell; discocellulars very oblique, slightly concave, radial from their angle; cell 

 very long, lower part extending two-thirds the wing ; middle median at one-fifth 

 and lower at nearly half before end of the cell; submedian straight, internal vein 

 curved. Body moderately stout, abdomen compactly scaled, slightly hairy dorsally; 

 thorax and head hairy ; palpi extending beyond the front, very laxly hairy 

 beneath, third joint long, slender; legs long, slender; antennse with a stout 

 grooved-club. 



Type. — D. Egialea. 



Mimics. — The species of the Blymniine genus Mimadelias (Lep. Ind. ii. 

 pp. 165-8, pi. 142-3) are excellent mimics of certain species of Delias and also of 

 Piccarda.
