only tlie lines bordering on it being present. 1 $ from Bali, captured in the lowlands by W. Doiierty in March 
or April 1896. 
D. croceago Hmps. (48 i). Forewing bright orange-yellow, with,orange veins, 4 distinctly undulated 
orange antemedian lines; 2 curved distal and 2 dentate subterminal lines are orange; on both ends of the disco- 
cellular one black dot each; the disc is arched with dark brown; hindwing with similar brown clouds in the 
disc and black dots at the cell-angles; 1 central, 1 distal, and 2 dentate subterminal lines are orange; under 
surface pale. Described from 1 from Tenasserim. 
D. magnifica Swh . Ochreous-brown; thorax and the 2 basal abdominal rings with light ochreous bands; 
forewing with a dark subcostal streak near the base and another one towards the apex, forming the parts of 
a band: from behind the centre of the hind-margin to the distal margin above the centre a broad dark band; 
at the cell-end a brown spot; at the distal margin a dark brown line, and fringes brown. On the hindwing a 
short subbasal band from the hind-margin with a white band at its proximal edge, and a broad discal band 
from the distal margin below the apex, touching the distal margin above the anal angle. All the bands are 
longitudinally streaked, with bright orange lunular lines. Beneath the wings and body are almost pure white. 
Singapore (Malay Peninsula). 
D. nunimularia Snell. (48 i). Forewing creamy white; the veins and the dentate transverse lines 
formed of small crescents are rust-brown; the distal line is double and more prominent; behind the proximal 
line in the cell an oval white spot, behind it an irregular rust-coloured spot covering the reniform macula; 
from the centre of the hind-margin to the centre of the distal margin a brown triangular shadow. Hindwing 
at the base and distal margin cream-coloured with rust-brown lines, between them broad brown with a median 
darker line and 2 black cellular dots. Type from Java; also from Borneo. 
D. lunulata Worr. (48 i). Forewing brownish ochreous; hind-margin at the base and an oblique streak 
from the apex to the centre of the hind-margin ochreous; in the proximal area several brown streaks being 
angular in the centre of the wing. The light streak towards the apex crossed by 2 rows of sagittiform brown 
markings, followed by 6 broad white small crescents, the 3 last of which are situate in a line running oblicpiely 
to the hind-margin; at the anal angle a dark brown triangular area; on the discocellular 2 black dots. Hindwing 
with a yellowish basal area traversed by 2 brown lines; median area greyish ochreous, behind it a darker 
distal line; 2 black discal dots; marginal area grey, towards the anal angle widened, in front of it a row of large 
irregular yellow lunulae, all of which are inwardly bordered by a lighter lunar spot; thorax and abdomen brownish 
ochreous; face and vertex light ochreous. Type from Java. 
D. interlineata Warr. (48 i). Forewing pale brownish ochreous, costal margin white; a subcostal line 
of lustrous black small scales from the centre of the base almost to the apex before which it is rectangularly 
flawed and undulating as far as vein 4; then more oblicpiely to the hind-margin before the centre of which it 
is bent, proximally broadly bordered with light from below the apex; from the hind margin near the base 2 similar 
brownish lines being parallel before the apex; from the apex a fine dark subterminal line of crescents, exhibiting 
black dots on the veins, extending above the anal angle to % of the hind-margin away from the distal margin, 
where it is thickened; costal margin at the base and towards the apex with a few black streaks; on the disco- 
cellular 2 diminutive black dots. Hindwing traversed by a number of straight lines; basal area light; 2 dark 
proximal lines enclose a brown band with a central line; cellular dots in a light band bordered by a brown line; 
distal line black, finely notched with a broad light proximal border, before and behind it a double brown line; 
subterminal line straight, marginal area darker. A couple from South Java. 
D. nialulata Fldr. (= ? obliquifasciata Swh.) (48 i as obliquifasciata). Head, thorax, and abdomen 
white; wings white with broad flesh-coloured ochreous stripes bordered by chestnut-brown lines; the first 
stripe extends along the costa of the forewing, the second from the hind-margin of the hindwing near the base 
to beyond the centre of the distal margin of the forewing; the third across the centre of the hindwing from 
below the centre of the hind-margin to the costal margin before the apex; all these stripes are straight and 
smooth; the second has 2 white spots at the distal margin of the forewing and a white band in the centre; 
the third has a more distinct white band, dentate and below broadly bordered with brown; distal margin of 
both wings with a band of the same colour as the stripe, proximally bordered by a notched chestnut-brown 
band. Described by Swinhoe from a from Pulo Laut (Borneo); another $ i s ' n the Tring Museum from the 
Khasia Hills in Assam. Felder’s type is a $ from Java with whiter bands not being filled with brownish. 
Owing to the scanty material we cannot decide whether there is a sexual difference or whether the Indian 
differ specifically from the Javanese §. 
D. circumscripta sp. nov. (48 i). Forewing yellow; costal area and distal-marginal area and the lines 
of a dull orange; 3 proximal lines, only recognisable below the centre and 3 undulating distal lines, the most 
proximal one being of a subdued colour; a black punctiform spot at both ends of the discocellular; a metallic 
bronze-brown streak extends from the base of the costa along the costal vein and is obliterated behind the 
centre, where it is replaced by another stripe from above the cell-end almost to the apex; the latter stripe is 
thickened there and is situate obliquely to vein-7, then it extends as a subterminal line of contiguous bronze 
metallic lunulae to the hind-margin. Hindwing with 2 straight proximal and 3 distal though somewhat
