Review of the Species. 
A. Wings above with a broad, common, orange median band extending from vein 1 b of the hindwing 
to vein 5 of the forewing and appearing also beneath, where it is bordered with white, almost reaching 
to the proximal margin of the hindwing and to the costal margin of the forewing. D. perigrapha. 
B. At least the forewing above without any orange colouring. 
a. Hindwing above with a yellow longitudinal stripe at the costal margin (chiefly in area 6), beneath 
with a rounded light costal-marginal spot. D. mimeta. 
[3. Hindwing above without a yellow longitudinal stripe and beneath without a light costal-marginal 
spot. 
*. Both wings above with several greenish blue longitudinal stripes following the veins. $. Wings 
above dull smoky brown or almost black. D. virgata. 
**. (J. Both wings above almost to the margin uni-coloured cyaneous with a fine black transverse 
streak at the cell-end. $ unknown. D. ula. 
D. perigrapha Karsch (65 h) is distinguished by the greyish-green ground-colour and the yellow median 
band being beneath bordered with white. Apparently rare and hitherto only found in South Cameroon and 
in the Congo District. The is unknown to me. — unda Gaede. ,,On the hindwing above the orange median 
band appears dentate distally on the veins; beneath the median band of the forewing is much broader towards 
the costal margin, its edges are almost parallel, whereas in perigrapha the shape is almost triangular; behind 
the band is not dentate, but at the proximal margin so mewl) at broader than in perigrapha. Expanse: 26 mm.“ 
Cameroon near Dengdeng. 
D. mimeta Karsch (65 h). Wings above black; forewing with single, small blue scales at the costal 
margin, at the median, at the posterior margin, and at the distal margin; hindwing at the costal margin with 
a yellow longitudinal stripe which, however, does not reach the base and vein 5, in 1 a and 1 b and 1 c dusted 
with blue. Wings beneath dark verdigris; in the forewing with 3 short transverse streaks at the cell-end, and 
2 often indistinct, delicate, undulate, whitish transverse lines, beyond the middle; hindwing beneath with a 
roundish, light spot between the costal margin and vein 4, followed behind as far as the proximal margin by 
a yellow zigzag line edged with black and white; before the black anal lobe with an arcuate row of yellow scales 
touching distally some blue ones; area 1 c at the margin black with a whitish marginal line and strewn with 
blue and yellow scales; area 2 with a large, black marginal spot proximad bordered with yellow; area 3 with 
a smaller marginal spot dusted with blue. South Cameroon to the Congo District in the primeval forests as far 
as the 6th degree of southern latitude. — It may be the $ of perigrapha ? 
D. virgata Ham. Druce (65 k). Wings above jet-black with bright bluish-green stripes along the veins; 
hindwing at the costal margin broadly blackish-brown; anal lobes and small tails black. Wings beneath verdigris 
behind the middle with two parallel, serpentine, fine white transverse lines which are often indistinct or absent 
on the forewings; hindwing with a black anal lobe and a large black marginal spot in area 2. In the $ the 
wings are above dull smoky brown or black. Sierra Leone. 
D. ula Karsch (&5di). Wings above beautifully cyaneous; costal margin, apex, and distal margin 
of forewing narrowly black; hindwing at the costal margin in the areas 7 and 6 black, and at the proximal 
margin in 1 a and 1 b black or blackish-grey with or without blue scales; on both wings we sometimes notice 
black longitudinal streaks at the margin on the internerval folds. Abdomen with light, above blue, beneath 
white transverse rings. $ unknown. South Cameroon and Congo District. 
Third Group of Species. 
The species of this group are easily recognizable by the snow-white and beyond the middle entirely 
unmarked under surface of both wings. The marking beneath very much recalls that of the species of Hypolycaena, 
and He wit sox in fact described them as Hypolycaena. In the the wings are generally above of a beautiful 
blue colour. The $$ are rarely scaled light blue above, generally blackish-brown and white without any blue 
or red colouring. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Hindwing at the end of vein 3 only angled, without any tail-appendage. 
a. The postdiscal transverse band on the forewing beneath is equally broad (about 2 mm) and extends 
quite freely to the costal margin. Anal lobe of hindwing above scaled red.
