Female. Reddish ochraceous, tinged with cinereous beneath,

 Wings moderately broad ; fringe of a deeper hue than the rest of 

 the wings, blackish along the subapical excavation of the fore 

 wings; line whitish, straight; under side minutely speckled with 

 black; discal point black, minute, larger beneath. Fore wings very 

 falcate; line partly bordered with cinereous on the outer side,

This species can hardly be distinguished from D. Bicesaria, 

 except by the less recurved tips of the fore wings.
