the where it usually reappears as a small spot at the apex and is very commonly developed as a more or 
less continuous band, at least on the underside. — $-ab. affluens Bcistelb. has this yellow band developed on 
the upperside also. Particularly prevalent on Nias, but occurs also on Sumatra, etc. — (J-ab. chrysocraspedata 
Warr., founded on a from N.S. Sumatra, is the corresponding; but much rarer, mate form. — 9-ab. albescens 
Prout, from Borneo, has the ground-colour much mixed with white. Hindwing border as in affluens. — ab. 
nigrostriata Bastelb. (7 e) is an extremely darkened aberration with the veins in part thickly blackened. Kina 
Balu, 1500 m, I A (J. Waterstrad t). Tring Museum has intermediates from the same collection. Examples 
from the mountains of North Borneo are in general deeply coloured and with the yellow spot reduced, especially 
in the <$, but I have not named them separately, believing that azurea Bastelb. (described above) will prove 
available for them. — auriplaga Warr. has the yellow anal patch extended, often crossing in front of the outer 
black line, sometimes running narrowly along a great part of the abdominal margin. Perak, also from Langkavi 
and Mergui. Like the corresponding race malayanus malayanus, it is not quite constant. — aurilimbata Moore 
has the yellow on the hindwing still more extended, forming a broad distal border. Tenasserim, quite local. - 
deflavata Warr. (= paupera Th.-Mieg, sericata Bastelb.) (6f), from W. Sumatra, shows the opposite extreme, 
the yellow spot being entirely obsolete. Warren and Bastelberger regard it as a separate species. 
interrupta. D. interrupta Bastelb. (7 d) and the three species which follow are distinguished by their red ground¬ 
colour, at least in the middle of the wings, interrupta is the reddest species. Bastelberger’s type, from the 
Battak Mountains, N.E. Sumatra, lacks the central black submedian streak which generally characterizes 
sumatren- the genus. — ab. sumatrensis Fawcett is the normal form, with this streak developed. Confined to the mountains of 
Sumatra.

D. cuprina Felcl. (7 d, as palestraria). Less deep red, proximally becoming yellow, the maculation 
somewhat different, the white subterminal spots larger. Mountains of Java. 
D. palestraria Guen. (9 b) has hitherto been supposed to represent a faded example of cuprina, with 
erroneous locality. Having, however, recently seen the type §, I observe some slight differences and give a 
figure of it in the hope that it may really represent a lost species from Timor, the reputed habitat. Rather 
less red than cuprina, much more uniform than fruhstorferi. Markings on the whole less zigzag, the antemedian 
of the forewing forming a streak rather than spot at its end behind the 2nd median, the streak in front of 
the 2nd sub median enlarged, the outer row of white spots less out of alignment, their distal extremity 
forming an almost regular curve. The distal margins of this unique specimen have been broken and patched up, 
and cannot be relied upon. 
D. fruhstorferi Bob. (7 d). Proximal region still more extended yellow than in cuprina, especially the 
abdominal part of the hindwing, Black markings much broadened. W. and S. Java, in the mountains. 
D. flavidiscalis Warr. is a rare species, or possibly an extreme form of glaucescens { 7 c), though the hindwing 
appears still more elongate. Patagia yellower, wings mixed with white, the yellow part of the hindwing paler 
and much extended, reaching the 2nd radial and approaching the base of the wing. ,,Burma.“ 
D. glaucescens Walk. (— regalis Btlr .) (7 c) varies little, except in the depth of the colouring, and is 
recognizable by its shape and by the form of the cadmium-yellow patch. On the less hairy abdomen and less 
dilated hindtibia of the Thierry-Mieg founded an unnecessary genus Fareuschema. Borneo (type), Perak, 
Malacca and Sumatra. 
D. ares Weym. ( = lyra Druce, semiflava Warr.) (7 c). Spots of fore wing whiter, hindwing with 
cell-spot much extended, the yellow colour spread over a great part of the wing. Nias. 
D. electra Weym. (= antianira Druce, fannitta Swinh.) (7 c). Hindwing throughout, forewing in 
proximal half, with the ground-colour entirely yellow. Nias, possibly an extraordinarily constant dimorph of 
the preceding. 
D. bivexillata Prout. As small as flavifusa, rather narrower, similarly coloured or a little lighter, the 
forewing more definitely yellow proximally and distally to the cell-mark, the hindwing clearer yellow, with 
cell-spot rather less small, outer spots reduced, especially in celhdes 3 and 4. Sumatra. Also from Perak. 
D. flavifusa Firnps. Recognizable by the relatively short forewing and rounded hindwing, the 
blurred markings, small cell-dot of the hindwing, etc. Beneath with the yellow brighter, in the forewing 
considerably more extended than above. 
vilis. D. vilis Walk. {= limbata Moore). Rather larger than flavifusa, forewing deeper purple, with the 
markings white, hindwing brighter yellow with a broad purple border, which is scarcely marked with yellow. 
Abdomen yellow in the densely clothed ventrally and laterally. Ceylon.
