Nearest to D. JEsaca, from Borneo. Differs from the same sex 

 of that species in its smaller size. On the fore wing above the 

 lower marginal grey spots have a decidedly acute inner point. 

 On the hind wing the marginal grey spots are of three times the 

 width, and form a broad marginal band. Underside differs in 

 being of a uniformly paler colour, especially at the apex of fore 

 wing and along the exterior border of hind wing ; the brown 

 strigse also showing up more prominently.
