This species exhibits many slight variations in the proportion 

 and arrangement of the red and black marks in the fore wings. 

 The red marks are most prevalent in a specimen from Ashanti, and 

 are least apparent in one from Port Essington and in another from 

 Congo. Nearly all the black marks are wanting in a Turkey D. 

 pulchra.
