The two forms of the female here described seem to negative the probability that we are 

 dealing with anything but a simple variety of D. hyparete, more especially as in Bornean 

 specimens in the writer's collection, Sarawak examples agree with the form found in the 

 Feninsala, whilst others received from BanjermasBin are almost inseparable from Javan 

 I), kyparete.
