 wint< , with a transverse dark fascia bordered with greyish at and of cell ; a narrow and strongly dislocated 

 fascia outwardly bordered with greyish (dislocated at the nervulcs from cosfca to second median nervule 

 and then continuous and broader to abdominal margin) crossing wing between end of cell and posterior 

 margin ; a marginal and submarginal fascia as on anterior wings, a black marginal spot surrounded with 

 greenish scales between the second and third median nervules, a patch of greenish scales between the third 

 median nervule and eubmedian nervure, a black spot at lobular anal angle, and two small fuscous spots 

 beneath costal nervure.

ELuj. — Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit, Mus.)* 



The female specimen captured in Malacca by Capt. Pinwill, and presented to the British 

 Museum, was identified in error by Mr, Butler as I). petosiris, Hew., a species, however, from 

 which IX sequetra differs by the distinct markings on the under surface of the wings, such as 

 the absence of the transverse spot in the cell of the anterior wings, and by the strongly 

 dislocated transverse fascia to the posterior wings, &c. The male has still to be discovered, 

 and will doubtless prove to have the wings above of some shade of rufous-brown. My 

 collection contains a Burmese example of the true D. pctv&iris, which perfectly agrees with 

 Hewitson's figure.

Dtiulutix {JuTytimti, hull, (nee Tb-wit.s. >. Trans. I. inn. Boo, h.t. '1. ZpoL v.-b i. p. ft -I 1 .), n. 2 il$77). 



Male. Wings above dark rufous; a black spot at the lobular aual angle of the posterior wings. 

 Wings beneath pale brownish, with a transverse dark brown spot margined with greyish, in and at end 

 of eells of both wings, followed between ends of cells and outer margins by a narrow transverse dark 

 brown fascia outwardly margined with greyish, which on posterior wings is strongly dislocated and 

 sinuateil from upper median nervule to abdominal margin, where it is considerably widened; an obscure 

 submarginal fascia to both wings, and three marginal spots to posterior wings near anal angle, the first 

 and third black, and the central one composed pf givem*h W$M ; extruine outer margin inm<,\vly paler, 

 the fringe dark. 



Female, Wings above pale bluish, the margins irregularly pale fuscous. Wings beneath as in male.

Hab. — Malay Peninsula; l'enang (coll. Dist.); Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus.J. 



A male specimen in the British Museum captured by Capt. Pinwill in Malacca, and 

 a female Peuaug specimen in my own collection, are the materials which have induced 

 the description of this species. Though Mr. Butler included it in his list of the Malaccan 

 butterflies as D. pheretinm, he now quite agrees with the writer as to its perfect distinctness 

 from that species, as a refereuce to Hewitson's iigure will testify. D. plierctima, Hew, (aBornean 

 species), not only has the spots and fasciee on the under surface of the wings of a larger 

 character than in D. utimutis, but also possesses a large spot above the cell of the posterior 

 wiugs,
