Dictynna, Hilb. 40, 41. 
Expands from 1-25 to 1*75 in. Very mucli resembles the last 
species, but is smaller, the ground colour of the wings is darker 
fulvous, the black spots are closer together, and the hind margins 
are more broadly black ; the marginal fringes are narrowly streaked 
with black. The wings are much darker at the base than in 
Daphne. Under side : The markings of the hind wings greatly 
resemble those of Daphne, but are more defined on account of the 
darker colour of the purple marbling, which is very dark violet, 
the light-centred spots showing out upon it very distinctly. PI.
