*. $. Hindwing above with a large, brownish-red spot almost entirely covering the areas 1 b to 4; 
also the forewing generally above with a small, similar spot on the posterior margin. Frons 
black with white lateral margins. Forewing beneath at the base in area 1 b with a large black 
longitudinal spot. Hair-pencil on the forewing beneath dark brown. D. aruma. 
**. c?. Hindwing above as far as the margin scaled blue; forewing above in the basal half for the 
greatest part blue. D. mera. 
a. The postdiscal transverse band on the forewing beneath is expanded towards the costal margin 
(where it is about 4 to 5 mm broad) or entirely united with the black marginal band — $. Wings 
above for the greatest part blue. 
*. The black postdiscal band on the forewing beneath is only at the costal margin united with the 
dark marginal band, otherwise broadly separated from it by the white ground-colour. Anal 
lobe of hindwing above without red scales. — Forewing above without a black mealy spot. 
—- $. The small tail at vein 2 of hindwing long and very broad, white. D. angelita. 
**. The brownish postdiscal band bordered with dark on the forewing beneath is entirely united 
with the blackish-grey marginal band. Anal lobe of hindwing above scaled red. Frons white, 
above lined orange. •— Forewing above behind the discal cell with a very large, round, black 
mealy spot. — $ unknown. 
1. The large mealy spot on the fore wing above does not reach the black marginal band. 
D. otraeda. 
2. d'- The large mealy spot on the forewing above reaches the black marginal band. 
D. leonina. 
B. Hind wing at the end of vein 3 with a distinct small tail. The transverse band on the forewing beneath 
is situate almost in the middle, being equally broad and generally yellowish. Frons white, above with 
two short dark streaks (whether this is also the case in ituri and elealodes ?). ■— <$. Forewing beneath 
with a black longitudinal spot in the basal part of area 1 b; hindwing above with a black hair-pencil 
in area 1 c. 
a. Transverse band of forewing beneath at least 2 mm broad and yellowish. — Hair-pencil of forewing 
beneath white or light yellow. 
*. Forewing above far beyond the discal cell (almost as far as the middle of area 4) densely scaled 
blue; hindwing above as far as the margin blue. — $. Wings above at least to the middle 
scaled light bluish. D. elealci. 
**. Forewing above only as far as the end of the discal cell thinly strewn with blue scales or uni- 
colourecl blackish-brown without blue scales. 
1. <$. Both wings above strewn with blue scales; hindwing above without a mealy spot in area 1 c. 
D. obscura. 
2. Wings above without any blue scales at all; hindwing above about in the middle of area 1 c 
with a small, light mealy spot. D. fusca. 
(3. The median transverse band of the forewing beneath very narrow, linear and light yellow. Wings 
beneath at the margin not darkened. — <$. Hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the forewing beneath 
black. D. elealodes. 
D. aruma Hew. (65 i). Frons black with white lateral margins. $ wings above black; forewing with arumu. 
a small red spot near the base in the areas 1 a and 1 b; hindwing with a large, red, almost triangular spot almost 
covering the areas 1 c to 4 and covering the anal lobe and a part of the cell. Wings beneath marked 
almost as in eleala. Hair-pencil of hindwing beneath black. $ unknown to me. Cameroon to Gabun. — In 
var. simplex Schultze the red spot of the forewing is absent. Belgian Congo. — Gaede describes as $ of aruma simplex. 
a form which on the upper surface seems entirely to correspond with D. bimaculata Hetv. (see below), but which 
is much smaller, only 20 mm. 
D. mera Hew. (65 i). Wings above blue; forewing at the costal margin narrowly, at the apex broadly mera. 
black, at the margin as far as the anal angle gradually narrower black; besides with a black spot in the cell 
and at the cell-end; veins finely black. Anal lobe of hindwing above scaled red. Wings beneath white with 
an almost straight yellow transverse band, the distal side of which is 3 mm distant from the costal margin on 
the hindwing; foiewing at the margin rather broadly darkened; hindwing there little darkened, with a black 
marginal spot encircled with yellow in the area 2. Cameroon to Angola. 
D. angelita Suff. (65 i) was described according to the $ figured here. Frons white. Wings above angelita. 
blackish-brown with a faint blue reflection; hindwing between the anal angle and vein 5 or 6 with a fine black 
marginal line’ a white line in front of it, a row of submarginal black bows and within them with a transverse
