anal angle; a large blackish triangular spot in and behind the median area in the costal half ; undulate line not 
at all prominent in the grey ground-colour. Fringe distinctly speckled grey and black. Hindwing light grey, 
a black spot divided by white is at the anal angle. Colombia. 
D. nigriplaga Jones. Forewing yellowish ochre, strewn with olive brown and black, with a black cell- 
end spot and double dark transverse lines, a small white costal-marginal spot behind the distal line, and a 
large triangular dark costal-marginal spot extending to the apex and downwards to the lowest radial branch, 
with 2 black internerval streaks in it; undulate line composed of a series of faded olive spots; a large black 
spot at the base below the cell. Hindwing yellowish, the veins, costal and distal margins strewn with brown, 
with a light brown double faded postmedian line. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Brazil (Castro, Parana). 
D. contracta WJcr. has light grey forewings strewn with brown, with single interrupted transverse 
lines nearing each other below the median vein, so that the darker dusted median area- assumes the shape of a 
sand-glass; two black dots in the cell-end are above each other, in somewhat lighter rings and with darker 
shading before and behind them; a large brown triangular spot in the basal part below the cell, a light undulate 
subterminal line is shaded with black inwards and followed anally by two thick black spots; black lunular 
subterminal streaks; fringe speckled light and dark. Hindwing brownish-grey, darkened at the margin, fringe 
light. Brazil. 
D. divisa Sells. The larger basal half of the forewing is dark slate-coloured as far as the reddish-brown 
median line, traversed by quite obsolete lighter transverse lines, with a light grey spot behind the red-brown 
basal line; the distal part is light brown, darkened at the cell-end; postmedian line darker brown, shadowy, 
double, a series of black spots before the light undulate line, small dark spots also at the ends of the veins. 
Hindwing whitish, brownish on the veins and margin, with a double dark anal spot. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. 
Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
D. cervina Mschlr. has light reddish-brown forewings strewn with blackish and red-brown shading 
before the yellowish notched undulate line; both the transverse lines are indistinctly double, darker red-brown, 
black and white dots are on the veins behind the distal line; a large reniform orange macula at the cell-end 
is centred reddish and finely surrounded with black, 2 red-brown successive dots before it in the cell; the veins 
of the marginal area are blackened and strewn with white, 2 black dots each are between them. Hindwing 
whitish, slightly shaded reddish-brown at the margin. Guiana. It has remained unknown to me. 
D. sylvia Schs. has white forewings strewn with grey and olive, with an irregular median shadow 
angled at the cell-end, and dark grey spots in the base of the cell and below it; instead of the postmedian 
line a double row of black vein-dots, partly shaded with olive; a darker spot before the apex at the costal 
margin, and a feeble grey subterminal shadow below it, black vein-streaks on the margin. Hindwing whitish, 
shaded with blackish at the apex and distal margin. Brazil (Castro, Parana). 
D. isidra Schs. (150e). The white forewing is widely strewn with black and brownish orange scales, 
with interrupted traces of black transverse and median lines, the posterior one double, partly scaled orange; 
a black crescentiform streak at the cell-end, black wedges of the undulate line before the margin, marginal 
streaks behind them between the veins. Hindwing densely strewn with blackish-brown, with traces of a white 
postmedian line. Mexico. 
D. spectra Schs. is closely allied to isidra , distinguished by the abdomen being yellowish ochreous 
- grey in isidra — and lighter greyish-brown hindwings; it is somewhat larger. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
D. eusebia Drc. is a very much larger species with greyish-brown forewings, the fine black transverse 
lines are double, notched, the two anterior ones near the base, the third behind the cell; a red-brown spot bordered 
with black is at the cell-end; the subterminal line is light reddish-yellow, a marginal row of black dots behind 
it, fringe brown. Hindwing brown, lighter towards the base and at the inner margin, with a small black 
anal spot parted by white. Expanse of wings: 64 mm. Described from Colombia. 
D. tuna Schs. has somewhat longer and more slender palpi and narrower forewings than the other 
species of the genus; forewing light reddish-yellow in the basal half and postmedianly, with a dark-striped median 
vein, strewn with brown below it; distal half strewn with reddish-brown, with a black subcostal stripe ending in 
a black subapical spot; the double postmedian line is "marked brown with interruptions, the black undulate 
subterminal line is shaded spot-like above the anal angle. Hindwing greyish-brown. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. 
Colombia. 
D. patricia Schs. has light grey forewings with a velvety black oblique streak from the base of the costa 
to the submedian vein at the undulate anterior transverse line, and a white lunular spot bordered with brown
