(3. The discal band of the forewing beneath coherent and almost straight. — Forewdng above without 
a velvety spot and beneath without a black mealy spot in lb. 
*. <$. Wings above blackish, in an oblique light with an intense blue reflection in the marginal half, 
in the basal part not or only faintly bluish. $ unknown. 
1. Wings without reddish-yellow markings. D. odana. 
2. <$. Hindwing above with a reddish-yellow marginal band or at least with a reddish-yellow spot 
in the area 2. D. galathea. 
**. <$. Wings above blackish-brown without a blue reflection; the forewing with a reddish-yellow spot 
of the posterior margin, reaching at least vein 2; hindwing from the apex of the discal cell to the 
margin broadly orange-yellow. 9 - Wings above changing from blackish to greyish-brown, at the 
base and in the middle more or less covered with a greyish blue. D. diocles. 
D. kafuensis Neave (66 b). Wings above dark blue with black veins, forewing at the costal margin 
as far as the discal cell, at the apex and margin as far as the anal angle rather broadly blackish, the blue basal 
part of the areas 4 and 5 about 3 mm long; hindwing at the costal margin as far as vein 6 and at the proximal 
margin in 1 a and 1 b blackish, anal lobe scaled orange-red. Wings beneath whitish-grey with a yellow transverse 
streak at the end of the discal cell and a fine, yellow discal line; forewing with a yellowish submarginal line 
and a black mealy spot at the base of area 1 b; hindwing with two submarginal lines, a black submarginal 
spot encircled by orange-red in 2, a black anal lobe scaled blue, and a red streak at the proximal margin from 
the anal lobe to vein la. $ similarly coloured as the but somewhat lighter and larger. North Rhodesia. 
D. catori Baker is known to me only by the description running as follows: $. Both wings above 
black, everywhere suffused with smalt; forewing at the costal margin as far as the subcostal vein, at the apex 
and margin black; the black colour gradually narrows to a line towards the anal angle; on the hindwing the 
anal lobe, the small tail and the mealy spot at the costal margin are black. Both wings beneath light grey with 
the usual square transverse spot at the end of the cell, a yellow discal line distally bordered with white, and 
a similar submarginal line ending on the hindwing at the spot of area 2; the discal line of the hindwing towards 
the proximal margin dentated in the shape of a W; the submarginal spot of the area 2 black, proximally and 
laterally encircled by red; anal lobe black, proximally scaled blue, and at the proximal margin accompanied 
by a red stripe bordered with black. Hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the forewing beneath black. Sierra 
Leone. 
D. bemba Neave (66 b, c). The £ is not known; the description of the under surface of D. catori Baker 
mentioned above, however, so exactly corresponds with that of bemba that it is probable that bemba is the $ 
of catori. Wings above blue; forewing at the costal margin, at the apex almost as far as the cell and at the margin 
broadly black; hindwing all around about 2 mm broad black; anal lobe red, at the apex black with blue scales. 
North Rhodesia. 
D. zela Hew. (66 c). <$. Wings above blackish with a bluish tint; forewing without markings; hind¬ 
wing with bright blue lines along the veins 1 b and 2 and with similar marginal streaks in 1 c to 6. The under 
surface has been described above in the review of the species; anal lobe and submarginal spot of area 2 black 
proximally bordered by red. The 9 above monotonously dark smoky brown. Sierra Leone. •— zeloides Btlr. 
seems to be the southern form and is said to deviate only by the lighter colouring and broader, more irregular 
markings beneath. Forewing above dull greenish steel-blue; hindwing above light blue. Rhodesia and Nyassa 
District. 
D. zelomima Rbl. This species, unknown to me, is described according to a single <$: ,,above like 
D. zela Hew., from which it differs by its purer ashy-grey under surface being intensely lustrous blue and much 
more distinctly and differently marked. The forewing exhibits two complete, antemarginal, brown transverse 
bands feebly bordered with white, being convergent towards the proximal margin and distinct as far as the 
anal vein. The double discal streak is here also filled up with brown and towards the base bordered with white. 
The hindwing has a similar scheme of markings as zela, but in a basal direction from the double discal streak 
filled up with brown, there is another brown transverse band bordered with white extending from the subcosta 
to the cubital end. The distal, interrupted transverse band is filled up with a lighter brown, and the black 
dot in cell 2 is towards the base bordered with hemochrome (and not orange-red as in zela). Length of forewings: 
15 mm.“ North western shore of Lake Tanganyika. 
D. caerulea Ham. Druce (66c). <$. Wings above lustrous light blue; forewing with the costal margin 
almost to the discal cell and the apex very broadly (about 4 mm) blackish-brown, in the middle with a large, 
black velvety spot dusted with blue, covering the cell-apex and the bases of the areas 2 to 6, 9 and 10; hind¬ 
wing in 1 a and 1 b and at the costal margin as far as vein 6 blackish-grey, in 1 c to 5 and the cell blue 
with a fine, black marginal line; anal lobe at the apex black with blue scales, proximally scaled red. The under 
surface is described in the review. The hair-pencil at the posterior margin of the forewing beneath is black. 
In the 9 the forewing above is dull violettish-blue with a broad dark brown costal margin, apex and distal 
margin, the hindwing also blue with a broad blue costal margin and apex, the distal margin being narrowly
