Male. Upperside dusky purpurescent-brown in fresh examples, fading 
to dusky ochreous-brown ; cilia ochreous. Forewing crossed by a discal and two 
submarginal rows of bluish spots ; the discal row very small, the upper spot largest, 
either rounded or linear in shape, and in some they are more or less obsolete, or 
occasionally, all, except the upper spot are absent; the middle row larger, dentate, 
the upper being sometimes coalesced with its opposite discal; the outer row smaller 
and either rounded or lunate. Hindwing with a large discal velvety black glandular 
patch of raised scales; these scales being slightly longer and of more irregular 
width than those in D. Celinde; with or without faint traces of a submarginal row 
of pale ochreous lunules or points, and sometimes also of an inner discal series of 
points ; this wing also has the exterior margin either quite even, and angulate in its 
middle, or is somewhat scalloped and less distinctly angulate. Underside brownish- 
ochreous, with numerous short transverse, more or less intense dark brown strige, 
and which are generally less apparent basally ; crossed by a dark brown slender 
zigzag subbasal line, a broad discal fascia, an ill-defined slender sinuous submarginal 
line, and a lunular marginal fascia, the interspace between the latter being more or 
less washed with lilacine-white, which is most intense posteriorly. Forewing also 
with three dark brown dots across base of the cell, a ringlet-spot on the discocellulars 
and a dot below it. Hindwiig also with two basal cell dots and a discocellular dot ; 
and a large upper and lower ocellus, both with ochreous centre, white lunate- 
pupil, and a slender black outer ring; a third smaller lower ocellus sometimes 
being present between the upper medians ; and, in some specimens, generally in 
those which have the exterior margin of hindwing most angulate (probably the 
dry-season brood), the upper and lower ocellus are both smaller and less-defined. 
Body beneath, palpi, and legs ochreous; abdomen beneath with a small glandular 
patch of laxly raised ochreous scales placed on each side of the keel near the base ; 
antenne brown above, ochreous beneath. 
Female. Upperside somewhat paler, darkest upon the discal area. Vorewing 
with the three transverse rows of spots bluish-white, larger, the lower discal 
diamond-shape, the upper largest and disposed inward; the middle row broadly- 
dentate, the upper incurved and coalescent with the opposite discal; the outer row 
rounded or broadly lunate ; the discocellular spot of the underside sometimes slightly 
apparent. Hindwing with a complete discal row and two submarginal rows of pale 
ochreous decreasing spots, the discal spots being obtusely dentate, the middle row 
acutely dentate, and the outer row more or less lunate or rounded; followed by 
marginal lunules. Underside pale olivescent-ochreous, numerously covered with
