latter with a black inner border: two narrow marginal brown bands, two black purple- 
bordered dots at anterior angle, and black and white lines bordering the black lobe. 
" Feninle. DuU fuliginous brown, somewhat black apically : fore wing with medial broad transverse

" Male. Closely allied to D. er/eon. Wings of the same shape, and the form of the tail of the hind 
wing the same. Upperside dark, blackish brown. Fore wing with a narrow line across the 
middle (touching neither the costa nor the hind margin), a carved streak near the hind angle, 
and about thirteen small spots pretty equally distributed over the apical half of the wing ; 
all these marks are whitish, except the transverse line and marks near the hind angle, which 
are slightly tinted with reddish tawny. Hind wing with the outer portion traversed by four 
indistinct brownish tawny lines, converging from the costa towards the anal angle ; at the 
apex are two black spots edged with light brown. On the broad square lobe at the anal 
angle is a quadrate black spot, a slender taU arising from its outer edge. Underside : the 
wings are precisely similar to those of B. egeon, being tawny brown, with stripes and spots of 
white, silky and shining on the hind wing and costa of fore wing.
