Wings above dark brown; forewing near the middle with a light yellowish, round spot covering the middle 
of the area 1 b and the base of area 2; hindwing between the veins 1 c and 5 with a broad, ochreous-yellow, 
submarginal transverse band and close in front of the margin with a fine, white line from the anal lobe to vein 
5 or 6. Forewing beneath white, close behind the middle with an almost straight, blackish, somewhat slanting 
transverse band of 1 mm width extending from the costal margin almost to vein 1, and at the margin with 
two grey marginal bands incompletely separated by a white longitudinal line; hindwing beneath with an indis¬ 
tinct transverse band only represented by two dark lines, with two dark submarginal lines in 3 to 6, with a 
black marginal spot surrounded by red in 2, a smaller similar spot scaled blue in 1 c, and a black anal lobe dusted 
with blue. The latter is above black, scaled red and blue. Sierra Leone. 
Fourth Group of Species. 
In this group I combine all those speciesAn which the ground-colour beneath both wings is neither 
yellow nor green or purely white. Besides the forewing never exhibits in or somewhat behind the middle a 
dark transverse band of 1 to 2 mm width, but one or two light transverse lines at most. 
It is rather difficult to give a satisfactory review of the numerous species comprising both sexes, parti¬ 
cularly the colouring of the forehead, being so very important for the division, is unfortunately often not mention¬ 
ed in the descriptions. In order to facilitate the determination of the species, I distribute them among three 
subdivisions. 
Review of the Subdivisions. 
A. Hindwing beneath in the basal part as far as the apex of the discal cell one-coloured without markings 
or at most with a fine, white transverse line in the discal cell behind its middle or with a transverse 
band, but without round dots. 
a. Both wings beneath blackish-brown or blackish with fine, white transverse lines. Forehead black 
with white lateral margins. First Subdivision. 
[i. Wings beneath greyish-brown or whitish-grey, with a distinct transverse spot bordered with white 
at the end of the discal cell. Forehead white, often above in the middle covered with orange-yellow *). 
Second Subdivision. 
B. Hindwing beneath in the basal part with 1 to 4 red or black, white-curled, distinctly prominent dots 
(in the areas la, 1 c, 7, and in the discal cell). Third Subdivision. 
First Subdivision. 
The species are easy to discern from those of the two other subdivisions, but they are not entirely homo¬ 
geneous among each other, since the three first species evidently deviate rather considerably from the others. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Margin of the forewing almost straight or only slightly convex; its apex obtuse or rectangular. •— $ 
forewing beneath in area 1 b close at the discal cell with a jet-black, lustrous spot, above never as far 
as the margin monotonously lustrous blue. 
a. Hindwing beneath on either side of the final vein of the discal cell with a fine, white transverse streak 
which is separated afar from the final vein. -— tf. The hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the fore¬ 
wing beneath is black. 
*. Hindwing above black with blue marginal spots and blue longitudinal stripes ($) or quite smoky 
brown ($). — rf. Hindwing above in the basal part of the area 1 c with a large, black hair-pencil 
fastened at the median and showing towards the proximal margin. — Pilodeudorix Ham. Druce. 
D. camerona. 
**. Hindwing above in the areas 1 c to 5 as far as the margin ($) or at least as far as beyond the 
middle ($) of a bright blue. — Hindwing without a hair-pencil in 'ea 1 c. 
[3. Hindwing beneath as far as beyond the discal cell one-coloured without light markings. — <$. The 
hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the forewing beneath yellow. Wings above black with blue 
longitudinal streaks. D. diyllus. 
*) The colour of the forehead of catori and zelomimq has remained unknown to me.
