opportunity of being able to determine these two insects as the sexes of one another, 

 we are indebted to Dr. Rogenhofer, the Custodian of the Zoological Museum, Vienna, 

 who has kindly favoured us with a coloured drawing of Dr. Felder's type specimen, 

 and which we reproduce on our Plate No. 78, fig. 2a. 



This species is closely allied to D. Sinorix, but the male is distinguishable from 

 it, on the upperside, by the forewing not possessing the pale ochreous subapical 

 spots, and by the hindwing having the black spots and their reddish-ochreous border 

 more clearly defined. On the underside, the male of D. Samio is of a redder tint 

 throughout ; the transverse subbasal and the discal line are both narrower, less 

 narrow than even in D. Eansa; on the hindwing the discal line is much outwardly- 

 angulated in its middle, and it is also incurved much closer towards the subbasal 

 line at its upper end than in either D. Sinorix or D. Kansa. On the forewing 

 beneath, there are only four ocelli present in D. Samio. The female {D. Purana of 

 Felder) differs from the same sex of D. Sinorix, on the upperside, in the forewing 

 having a more defined transverse discal white band, and one — the lower — subapical 

 spot only being present ; the markings on the hindwing, however, are similar. On 

 the underside the colour of the female is also paler, and more ochreous in tint ; and 

 on the forewing there are only four ocelli present ; on the hindwing the discal line is 

 much angulated outwardly in its middle and incurved upwards nearer to the subbasal 

 line than in D. Sinorix.

Imago.- — -Male. Upperside glossy, dai-k olivescent ochreous-brown. Foreioing with 

 a slender very indistinct dusky-black transverse subbasal and a discal straight nearly 

 erect line ; a subapical series of three pale ochreous yellow small round spots, between 

 the two upper of which is a smaller black spot, and another lower black spot between 

 the middle and lower median veinlets ; a slightly-apparent dusky transverse fascia 

 composed of glandtilar scales crossing the wing before the discal line. Hindwing with 

 a broad outer discal angular-bordered pale reddish-ochreous fascia, upon which are six 

 black spots, of which the upper third and the lowest are very minute ; the extreme 

 outer margin being darker reddish-ochreous. Underside very pale olivescent-brown, 

 the discal area and apex of forewing washed with chalybeate lilacine-white ; marginal 

 lines dark purphsh-red. Forewing with a subbasal and a discal transverse straight 

 dark purple-red thick line, and a dentate inner mark within the cell ; beyond which 

 is a series of six small pale spots, the upper being white, the others ocellate, the 

 second, fifth, and sixth with black centre and white pupil, the third and fourth
