band of white spots; at vein 2 a small, broad tail 10 to 12 mm long. Wings beneath purely white; forewing 
with a postmedian black transverse band and a dark marginal band of almost 3 mm width, parted by 2 withe 
lines; hindwing with a black submarginal band parallel to the margin, and a fine, black marginal line; between 
them with black spots in 1 c, 2 and 5. South Cameroon. The following two forms presumably certainly belong 
to angelita ; but I do not possess sufficient material in order to decide whether they are to be regarded as races 
or only as individual variations. —- makala Baker (65 k). Wings above beautifully blue; forewing at the 
costal and distal margins black; beneath almost entirely as in the typical $; the transverse bands of the fore¬ 
wing, however, at the costal margin broader. Congo District near Makala. Ruwenzori. — schultzei Auriv. (65 k). 
Frons black with white lateral margins. A- Wings above as in makala of a beautiful blue; costal and distal 
margins of forewings narrower black; marginal band of forewing beneath only about 1 y 2 mm broad, entirely 
undivided; hindwing beneath with a blackish, about 2 mm broad marginal band in which there are small, black, 
white-curled dots of the areas 3 to 7. In the $ the white submarginal band scarcely extends beyond vein 3 
and is much narrower than in the principal form; the small tail at vein 2 is only about 8 mm long. If Sttffert’s 
statement about the colour of the forehead in angelita is correct, schultzei is probably a distinct species. Cameroon 
near Mangeme; discovered by Capt. A. Schultze. 
D. otraeda Hew. (66a). $. Wings above blue; costal and distal margins of forewing narrow, apex some¬ 
what broader black; in the middle a round, black mealy spot covering the base of the area 2 to 5 and all round 
encircled by the blue colour. Hindwing between the veins 1 c and 6 almost as far as the base blue, otherwise 
black. Beneath white with a dark marginal band which on the forewing is entirely united with the postdiscal 
transverse band. The $ is not described and unknown to me. Sierra Leone to Congo. 
D. leonina Baker only differs from otraeda by the blue colour of the forewings above being less extensive 
and the black marginal band being thereby broader; the round mealy spot is distally united with the black 
marginal band; all the veins are distinctly black. On the hindwing the blue colour scarcely extends beyond 
vein 5 and the veins are black. $ unknown. Sierra Leone. 
D. eleala Hew. (66 a). Frons white, above laterally black. Hind wings at veins 2 and 3 with small tails. 
Wings beneath white, with a postmedian, almost straight, orange transverse band finely bordered with black, 
which on the hindwing is 4 mm distant from the margin at vein 5; forewing with one, hindwing between the 
costal margin and vein 3 with two dark submarginal lines; forewing at the margin broadly darkened; an oblong, 
black marginal spot broadly encircled by orange in 2 of the hindwing; anal lobe black, proximally red; the 
black colour bordered with blue. -— <$. Forewing beneath at the posterior margin Avith a yellow hair-pencil. 
Wings above of a beautiful blue; apex and margin of forewing broadly black, at the anal angle tapering off; 
anal lobe of hindwing without any red. $. Wings above blackish-brown; forewing in the basal half, hindwing 
almost to the margin thinly dusted with a bluish grey; anal lobe of hindwing in front and proximally scaled 
red; a fine Avhite line close in front of the margin. Sierra Leone to the northern Congo District. 
D. ituri Baker (66 a) is unknown to me, but according to the description and figure it seems to resemble 
eleala very much and only to differ by the upper surface of the A being smalt, and the transverse band 
beneath somewhat broader. The hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the forewing beneath light yelloAV. Congo 
District near Makala. 
D. obscura Baker. Both wings above dull black, between the veins a little dusted blue. Both 
wings beneath white, with a postmedian, rather narroAv, orange transverse band; forewing beneath with a 
narrow, submarginal grey stripe and at the margin broadly grey; transverse band of hindwing at the proximal 
margin distinctly dentate like a W; a fine submarginal line as far as the marginal spot of area 2; margin fine 
black and proximally accompanied by a grey stripe growing broad in front; marginal spot of area 2 jet-black, 
curled yelloAV; anal lobe black Avith some blue scales, in front and distally bordered with orange. $. Both wings 
above dull brown; forewing uni-coloured; hindwing with a black marginal line, a fine white antemarginal line 
and white submarginal spots; anal lobe black dusted with blue, proximally with a fine orange line; under surface 
as in the the orange markings, however, yelloAV. Nigeria. 
D. fusca is a new species which will be described in the ,,Results of the second German Central African 
expedition in 1910—1911.“ It originates from Belgian Congo. 
D. elealodes Baker (66 a) resembles the two last species, but it deviates by the transverse band beneath 
being very narroAv and extending almost in the middle, and by both wings being white as far as the margin 
Avith a fine submarginal line. The submarginal spot in area 2 on the hindwing beneath is small and surrounded 
by a very light yellow; anal spot black with blue scales. The pencil at the posterior margin of the hindwing 
beneath is black. Wings of the A above blue and black as in eleala-^. The $ is unknoAvn. Congo District near 
Makala. 
D. bimaculata Hew. (66 a) is knoAvn only in the female, but it probably belongs as a female to 
one of the species of the third group mentioned above. Frons white, above in the middle yellowish-broAA’n.
