quadristriga. 



spot and a large quadrangular one between the radial veins, sometimes another smaller one below it . Beneath 

 the hindwing is red-brown with deeper red-brown, torn macular bands. Venezuela. 

 gaujoni. D. gaujotli Mah. is allied to epiphaneus. Above black with 3 confluent subapical dots and 3 separate 



discal spots, the lowest punctiform, the third touching the cellular spot. Hindwing with 3 large, reddish-yellow 

 spots, one of which is at the base of the cell. Fringes at the ends red-brown. Beneath the hindwing is red- 

 brown with the spots as above, bordered by 4 black transverse lines, the basal spot being double owing 

 to another one being situate above it. Ecuador (Zamora). 



D. ochrolimbata sp. nov. (179 k). Above blackish-brown with a copperj^ reflection and ochreous-brown 

 fringes. In the cell-end and below it there are 2 insignificant, small, ochreous-yellow spots and subapically 

 3 minute dots. Beneath the apex of the forewing, and the hindwing are chestnut, the spots of the forewing 

 are expanded and lighter towards the proximal margin. According to 1 ^J from Peru (Pozuzo) from the Coll. 

 Seitz. 



D. quadristriga Mab. (179 k) initiates a group of smaller species being above unmarked blackish-brown. 

 The fringes are somewhat lighter, the forewing is scantily strewn with yellowish scales. Beneath the forewing 

 is jet-black in the basal two thirds, at the apex and the costal margin red-brown; at the margin there is a 

 triangular, reddish-white spot, tripartite by the veins, beginning near the proximal angle. Hindwing red-brown 

 with 4 rows of small black strigiform spots, forming dissimilar transverse lines; costal margin and submedian 

 space blackish. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Described from Merida (Venezuela). 

 hoHviensis. D, bollviensis Mab. is very much like quadristriga: above brown with a lighter reflection and a yellowish 



middle of the distal margin and black veins; fringes dark grey. Forewing beneath blackish, at the costa and 

 apex greyish-white, in the submedian space a large, white triangular spot with 2 small ones above it ; proximal 

 margin ashy-grey. Hindwing dark grey, at the costal margin almost black and with 3 small brown bands in 

 the middle of the wing, the 2 distal ones close together, near the costal angle rectangularly broken, at the costal 

 margin united; the 3rd at the cell-end is more blackish. Bolivia. 

 merula. D. merula Mab. (179 k) is above monotonously brownish-black, between the veins with a somewhat 



reddish reflex and with dirty grey fringes. Beneath black, the proximal margin of the forewing, the distal half of 

 the submedian space and a spot above it are purely white; the blackish hindwing is powdered with yellow or 

 yellowish-grey atoms, at the proximal margin more densely so, and traversed by 3 blackish, undiilate lines, 

 2 nearing each other at the margin, a broader, somewhat blurred one in the middle. Bolivia (Chaco). It is 

 perhaps synonymous with eburones (p. 925). 

 vwrva. D. morva 3Iab. is brown with a light ferruginous reflection, veins and marginal line black, fringes 



red-brown. Beneath the forewing is yellowish-grey, dusted with a light grey, the middle of the margin blackish, 

 the proximal margin in a triangular shape dirty white. Hindwing dark yellowish-grey, strewn with yellow 

 with 3 fine blackish transverse lines which are somewhat blurred. Bolivia. 

 riza. D. riza Mab. is ferruginous-brown with a red reflection; the forewing exhibits 2 subapical dots, the 



upper quadrangular one being larger, a third reddish white spot is situate in the disc between the lower radial 

 veins. The margin is narrowly blackish. Hindwing similar, between the upper radial veins and below the costal 

 margin with 2 small lighter red-brown spots, just like the inner-marginal fold covered with long yellow hair. 

 Forewing beneath light ferruginous, the inner-marginal part yellow, below the discal spot a yellow dot; on 

 the ends of the veins there are black dots. Hindwing in the disc light violet, ferruginous-brown at the base, 

 between the veins with two brownish-black strigiform lines. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Colombia. 



granites. D. granites Mab. is allied to riza. Forewing with 3 subapical dots and 2 white spots in an oblique 



line between the median veins, the lower large, quadrangular, almost fused with a similar cell-spot; hindwing 

 black with red-brown fringes. Forewing beneath black, at the costa and apex red-brown, the spots form a 

 band being below light yellow, above reddish-yellow. Hindwing light red-brown with 2 small undulate stripes 

 beginning at the blacldsh proximal margin and disappearing in the middle. Ecuador (Loja). 



-pohjdesma. D. polydesma Mah. Above brown with 3 light yellow subapical dots, a spot in the middle of the cell 



and 2 more behind it and below it. Hindwing with a dot in the middle of the cell and 4 greyish-yellow 

 ones behind it in the shape of a small discal band. Forewing beneath very light reddish-yellow, distally blackish, 

 at the apex reddish-brown. Hindwing light reddish-brown with blackish lines, composed of bent streaks, bor- 

 dering on an irregular oval, beneath bordered by a dentate line; a cell-end streak. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. 

 Venezuela (Merida). 



ibhara. D. ibhara Btlr. (= crithote Hew., plancus Hpffr.) (179 k) is above blackish-brown with a slight 



olive tint and somewhat lighter spots on the forewing: one in the cell, two behind it and below it, by two 

 far distally removed spots connected with the 2 subapical ones to a curved row ; in the submedian space, separated 

 by the fold, 2 more oblong nebulous spots. Beneath light brownish-grey, in the disc blackish, the spots whiter, 

 near the proximal margin united into a large triangular spot. Hindwing strewn with yellowish-grej' scales, 

 traversed by 4 fine, undirlate transverse lines. Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, also in Brazil (Para). 



gyrans. D. gyrans Plotz (= anomala Mab.) (180 a). Above similar, but the spots only punctiform, and instead 



of the 2 submedian spots there is only 1 dot removed far proximallJ^ The hindwings are unspotted or exhibit
