S • Upperside : closely resembles 2). dipcea in the ground-colour 

 and markings, but on the hind wing the markings are broader 

 and more diffuse, and the lobe has a short filamentous black white- 

 edged tail. Underside a brighter brown than in D. dipcea : the 

 markings very similar, but twice as broad. 



Exp. S $ 38-49 mm. (1-5-1-93").

S . Upperside. Tore wing black, the basal area to the middle of 

 the cell dark ochraceous red ; a short, broad, oblique yellow subbasal 

 band from subcostal vein to vein 1 ; discal yellow spots beyond in 

 interspaces 1, 2, 4 and 5, the upper tw r o and lower two spots 

 respectively separated by the veins only, the latter two spots 

 joined to the subbasal band by an elongate reddish-yellow spot in 

 interspace U; a postdiscal series of a yellow crescentic mark 

 surmounted by a yellow spot in interspaces 2 and 3, and three 

 upper postdiscal whitish smaller spots in interspaces 4, 5, 6 shifted 

 somewhat further towards the termen ; lastly, two preapical white 

 dots. Hind wing ochraceous yellow T , the dorsal margin broadly 

 shaded with brown, a medial straight fascia and an upper shorter 

 discal fascia dark brown ; a postdiscal macular, subterminal and 

 terminal more continuous dark brown bands, all three coalescing 

 at the apex ; tornal lobe and slender tail black. Underside chestnut- 

 red, with the following more or less silvery markings: — Fore 

 wing : a short streak at base of costal margin, transverse basal, 

 medial and discal broad bands, a postdiscal irregular series of 

 transverse spots and a very slender and delicate transverse series 

 of short subterminal lines ; between the discal and postdiscal 

 markings there are two silvery subcostal and a transverse similar 

 spot in interspace 3 ; the other markings are silvery anteriorly, 

 ochraceous posteriorly. Hind wing : a short transverse silvery 

 streak at base, a narrow 7 similar streak along vein 1 not reaching 

 the torn us, a silvery streak along the dorsal margin turning 

 upwards and joining an interrupted discal silvery transverse fascia 

 from the costa, a broader straight transverse medial fascia between
