brown colour. Hindwing, according to the author, only with three delicate small basal stripes, whereas allied 
binghami. forms exhibit four of them. — binghami Moore (141 b) is figured here from the under surface according to a 
sketch drawn for me by orders of Mr. Riley of the British Museum according to the author’s type. 3 deviates 
from fruhstorferi from Java by a cuneiform, yellowish transcellular spot of the forewing reminding us of henrici 
Holl. from Hainan and by a parted, black distal border of the hindwing running likewise as in henrici. The 
submarginal band bearing a reddish-yellow spot between the posterior median and the submedian, is more 
uniform than in henrici. Under surface recognizable by small subbasal, red-brown longitudinal stripes of the 
hindwings being neater and homogeneous in extent. There are only three 33 from Burma without an exact 
statement where they were found, in the British Museum; they presumably belong to a rainy period-form. 
angela. Of. D. angela 8m. (140 a) we also know only some specimens from Burma and the one figured by us, 
belonging to the Tring Museum, from the Khasia Hills in Assam. It is most likely that the specimens denoted 
as S3 by Smith and Moore are in fact and that binghami represents the 3 °f the species. In this case, 
angela would have the precedence. Ground-colour pale cream. Under surface silky white with small chocolate- 
brown bands. The £ beneath somewhat darker than the specimens considered by Moore to be S3- 
aponata. D. aponata Senvp. deviates from D. henrici by a triangular black patch in the apical district of the 
forewing surrounding three yellowish-white spots. Upper surface of the hindwings with a broader black mar¬ 
ginal area than in all the vicarious types. Under surface with more pronounced red-brown bands. Only two 
specimens differing but slightly from each other have come to Europe: l 3 from the mountain Apo in South 
East Mindanao from an altitude of 2000 m, where evergreen myrtles cover the slopes, and a second one in the 
Tring Museum from Lepanto in North Luzon. 
D. fruhstorferi, originally described according to specimens I collected in Java, was soon after also 
fruhstorferi. discovered in Sumatra and Borneo. — fruhstorferi Rob. (139 d). Upper surface yellowish, under surface silvery 
white. The apical third of the upper surface of the forewings blackish dark brown with a subapical yellowish- 
white spot between the radials and an ecpially coloured, somewhat larger submarginal spot between the medians. 
Upper surface of hindwings with a blackish brown distal border being broad from the costal margin as far as 
to the posterior median, from where it is dissolved. Basal parts of all wings dusted in dark. Beneath, the fore¬ 
wings exhibit three, the hindwings four chocolate-brown bands in the basal part of the wings, the two outer 
ones being at the costal margin, the second (broadest) one at the wing-base, and the first one running parallel 
to the inner margin; these four bands approach each other before the anal angle. A similar band runs from 
the middle of the costal margin of the forewings to the last median (not far from the end of the discocellular), 
where it unites itself with a similar band rising at the costal margin (in the middle of the outer half of the wing) 
and runs (in single width) towards the inner angle which, however, it does not reach. The under surface of the 
forewings, furthermore, has an equally coloured, broad terminal band broadened in the apex, exhibiting at 
the distal margin small white striated spots, and in the apex two white spots. The under surface of the hind¬ 
wings has a similarly coloured submarginal band ending before the anal angle, with an indistinct light line 
parting the band. The terminal margin of the under surface of the hindwings is likewise chocolate-brown with 
a thick white line interrupting it and stopping at the posterior median. The anal part of the hindwings has 
beneath greyish-white scales, a large black spot with a proximal broad yellow border, and a small yellow stripe 
in the indentations at both sides of the anal lobe. The small tail is longer than in D. windu Fruhst. fruhstorferi 
was exclusively found on the Volcano Gecle, West Java, at an elevation of about 1200 m. 2 33 and 1$ of 
nicevillei. my collection are probably the only specimens that have come to Europe. — nicevillei Dohrn originates from 
the Battak Mountains, North East Sumatra. Judging from the sole $ of the Stettin Museum, nicevillei excels 
the Javanese sister-form by its larger size, rounder wing-contours, a darker yellow ground-colour of the upper 
surface and more intensely red-brown bands of the under surface. The yellow maculae in the apical spot of 
pryeri. the upper surface of the forewings are considerably smaller. ■— pryeri Moore (141 b) described according to a $ 
from Sandakan, North Borneo, is excelled in size by nicevillei, exhibiting more prominent brown bands of the 
under surface and a broader longitudinal stripe of the upper surface of the hindwings. Figured according to 
Moore’s type in the British Museum. 
D. deodata, the most eminent of all the Dodona- species ,distinguished by the long tails reminding us 
longicau- of the most glorious Theclids. Three geographical forms: longicaudata Nicev., a rare butterfly observed exclusi- 
dcda. vely in Assam from July till November. Upper surface blackish with small white dots on the forewings.* Both 
wings with a white, moderately broad median band. The very long tail with a tip covered extensively with 
deodata. white. Under surface blackish, with a faint purple shine and more prominent white punctiform spots. — deo¬ 
data Hew. differs by more than twice as extensive median areas and the lighter red-brown under surface of 
all w’ngs. The type comes from Moulmein; later on some specimens were reported by Doherty in March and 
April from the Karen Hills (from an altitude of 4 to 5000 ft.), as well as from Pegu and the Shan States. —
