 Type D. trigonalis Guen. 



Mainly an eastern and tropical Genus. 



D. trigonalis Guen. (= sextalis Walk.) (72 h, i). Forewing dark fuscous brown; the basal area and trigonalis.

D. frustalis spec. nov. Like trigonalis Guen., but distinguished as follows; the lines are grey, not fruslalis. 

 white; the outer line straight, not waved; the inner obliquely curved outwards appears to join outer line 

 abr.ve inner margin, the base and inner margin below vein 1 being uniformly grey; the oblique patch 

 from apex is grey, not whitish ; hindwing paler yellow, the dark terminal border fuscous, not black, less defin-
