Submarginal line interrupted black, light-edged. Hindwing in front light coppery red, behind grey, with a 
white median line, before the inner margin angled. Inner-marginal fold white. $ greyer. In the hindwing 
the median line is angled more in the middle, the costal margin darker. Inner margin near the base black.

D. leucocephala Wkr. (= stolida Btlr.). Similar to adjutaria. Larger, paler, more silvery grey. The 
spots plainly edged with white, not besides enclosed by a brown line. Without submarginal spots. $ brownish

D. conifera Mr. (59 h). Similar to adjutaria. More uniformly red-brown. On the forewing the border 
of the spot at the costal margin is indistinct. The spot at the inner margin larger. On the hindwing the median 
line begins nearer at the apex. 22 mm. Ceylon. 
D. erectionata Warr. Like conifera , but greyer. The dark chocolate spot at the inner margin more 
pointed, reverted to vein 2. Scent-hairs in the hindwing silky ochreous brown. 22 mm. Ron Is. 
D. integra Warr. Forewing grey, both the lines fine pale ochreous brown. The first from x / 3 costal 
margin to Y 3 inner margin, strongly angled outwards in the middle. The second from % costal margin to 4 / 5 
inner margin. Below the costal margin strongly excurved, at vein 4 incurved, then straight to the inner margin. 
Median area darker. Submarginal spots dark greyish-brown. Hindwing at costal margin pale. Interior line 
indistinct, exterior line bent in the middle. At the cell-end a rust-coloured spot. Submedian fold whitish. 
Hindwing with 2 dents. 17 mm. Lombok. 
D 0 kosemponicola Strd. (59 h). Greyish brown, somewhat violet. Interior line of forewing strongly

inside bordered with black, outside with brown. 20 mm. Formosa. 
D. columbaris Warr. Forewing dove-coloured, dusted with dark, lines brown. The first on x / 3 costal 
margin, sharply angled in the middle. The second obtuse-angular at vein 6, incurved on vein 4, outside finely 
bordered with white. Marginal lunae brown. Interior line of hindwing twice angled, exterior line obtuse- 
angular at vein 4, outside edged with white. 2 distinct dents on the hindwing. 28 mm. Penang. 
D. pendula Warr. Grey, dusted with reddish. First line black, from l / 3 costal margin to the centre of 
the inner margin to a black spot. Second line from 5 / 6 costal margin excurved, incurved at vein 4, then straight 
to the inner margin before the anal angle, expanded into a thick spot at veins 4 and 5. Fine black submarginal 
spots. Exterior line of hindwing yellow, bent in the middle, bordered with black at the costal margin and at the 
inner-marginal fold. Fine black marginal lunae. 16 mm. Bali. 
Do strigulicosta Strd. (59 h). Light grey, dusted with brown, median band bent, clark-edged with 
horizontal lines. Distal margin dark. Hindwing with a similar median band and a black central dot. 18 mm. 
Formosa. 
D. alikangensis Strd. (59 h). Similar to conifera, but more uniformly brown. On the hindwing the two 
lines at the inner margin are a little bent towards each other. 18 mm. Formosa. 
Do tridentata Heyl. Light brown. Forewing with bands of rust-brown spots, inside and outside bordered 
with white. Median area whitish. Costal margin of hindwing concave in the middle, with small tails at veins 4, 
6 and 7, and 3 transverse lines similar to those of forewing, the two first bent in the middle, the third almost 
straight along the dents. 17 mm. Java. It is doubtful, whether it belongs to this place. 
D. crepuscularis Hmps. (59 h). Violettish-brown. Forewing with an indistinct, strongly angled interior 
line. Exterior line rust-brown from 2 / 3 costal margin slightly bent to % inner margin. On the hindwing the 
interior and exterior lines are rust-brown, more bent near the inner margin. 18 mm. Ceylon. 
D. funebris Hmps. Forewing greyish-brown. First line in the middle, indistinct, blackish, below the 
cell bent obliquely inwards. Exterior line below the costal margin obliquely outwards, incurved below vein 4, 
inside bordered with black. Distal area lighter. Hindwing greyish-brown with 2 indistinct interior lines near 
the inner margin, and faded dark bent lines in the middle and behind it. Marginal dots fine black. 28 mm. 
Bombay. 
D. hepaticata Warr. Dark violettish grey. On the forewing 2 delicate ochreous-brown lines. The first 
on y 3 , in the middle rectangular, outside bordered with blackish. The second on % straight, inside black. 
Behind the cell a dark spot. On the hindwing the first line is sharply angled, the second feebly produced. 
15 mm. Ivhasis. 
D. latibrunnea Warr. Dark brown. The first line in the centre of the wing obtuse-angular, the second 
from 3/ 4 costal margin to the inner margin near the anal angle, dark red-brown. At the inner margin between 
the lines blackish. Apical spot and a dot below it black. Hindwing with a spot on x / 3 inner margin. Exterior 
line dark brown, angled at vein 4, edged with white. White submarginal spots. Distal margin of fore wing

dent at vein 6. 20 mm. Lifu.
