1. The orange-red spot of the posterior margin on the forewing of a moderate size, and the 
black marginal band anteriorly very much expanded, at vein 4 at least twice as broad 
as at vein 1. D. licinia. 
2. The orange-red spot of the posterior margin on the forewing very large; the costal margin, 
apex and distal margin therefore only narrowly black; the marginal band between the veins 
1 and 4 almost equally broad and only about 2 mm broad. D. dinochares. 
oo. Hindwing beneath with 2 or 3 black basal dots, one in the discal cell, one in area 7 and 
sometimes also one in 1 a. D. livia. 
D. dohertyi. 
§§. Forewing above as far as the costal margin orange-red, only the apex and the distal margin, 
posteriorly very much narrowed, black. 
B. Wings above one-coloured without red spots or areas. 
a. Wings above rather light monotonously brown, not darker at the margins with a faint coppery lustre 
and at the base of the forewing with a violet or blue reflection. D. antalus. 
(3. Wings above black, at the proximal margin of the hindwing light grey. D. caliginosa. 
y. Wings above blackish-blue and strewn with bright blue scales. I), tsiphana. 
The under surface is in all the species rather similarly marked. It suffices therefore to describe it here and only 
to state the differences in the single species. Both wings at the end of the cell on each side of the transverse vein with a 
straight, black or reddish-brown transverse streak, then about in the middle between the cell and the margin with a discal 
transverse band which, however, is not or only slightly darker than the ground-colour and for this reason only prominent 
by its bordering, as it is bordered on both sides by dark, white-bordered transverse streaks; the transverse band of the 
forewing is broad and almost straight, sometimes a little interrupted at vein 4, the spot in 3 being nearer at the base than 
that in 4. On the hindwing it is very irregular and almost entirely broken up into angular or curved spots; the spot (or the 
transverse streaks) in 7 much more towards the base than that in 6, the latter somewhat nearer at the base than those of 
the areas 4 and 5, which are equidistant from the margin and form a straight transverse band; the spots in 2 and 3 
are also coherent, but they are somewhat nearer at the base and slanting compared with the others; the spot in 1 c is 
strongly curved and the last spot in 1 b is long and narrow and very slantingly directed towards the middle of the proximal 
margin. Forewing with one, hindwing with two dark submarginal lines of which the proximal one is more distinctly prominent, 
being continued at the proximal margin as far as vein 1 and bordering on the submarginal spots of the areas 1 b to 2 towards 
the base, whilst the distal one ends at vein 3 or is indistinct towards the anal margin. Anal lobe beneath black with blue 
scales; a small, often transverse, black submarginal spot scaled blue in 1 c and a larger one proximally bordered with reddish' 
yellow in 2. A fine, dark marginal line proximally bordered with white. 
D. dariaves Hew. (66 c). <$. Forewing above one-coloured black with a faint, bluish reflection; hind¬ 
wing reddish-yellow, at the base as far as the cell-apex, and at the proximal margin blackish-brown; a fine, 
black marginal line. Basal dots on the hindwings beneath large and red; the discal bands bordered with black, 
only in the area 7 of the hindwing inside bordered by a red transverse spot. In the $ both wings above are 
dark blackish-grey, in the middle somewhat lighter and between the veins 2 to 6 of the hindwing with a distinctly 
defined, whitish-grey submarginal band of about 2 mm width. Delagoa Bay to British East Africa. 
D. lorisona Hew. (66 d). Forehead black with white lateral margins. A; forewing above black with a 
round, red spot in area 1 b; hindwing at the base and at the proximal margin almost to vein 2 black and with a 
black marginal band of I mm width, otherwise reddish-yellow; the mealy spot at the costal margin slate-coloured. 
On the under surface the discal bands are filled up with dark, and the hindwing at the costal margin broadly 
brightened up by whitish; basal dots large and black. The $ is unknown to me. Sierra Leone to the Niger. 
(British East Airica?). 
D. diopolis Hew. (<$ = rutila Mob. ; $ = wardi Mab.) (66 d) only differs from lorisona by the marks mentio¬ 
ned in the review. The hindwing beneath is at the costal margin not lighter. In the $ which probably belongs 
to this species the forewing is above black with a large, distinctly defined, almost white spot covering the areas 
1 c and 2 from the base to about 4 mm from the margin; hindwing at the base, costal margin and proximal 
margin broadly black in the areas 2 to 5 light bluish-grey with black submarginal dots in 1 c and 2. Madagascar. 
D. licinia Mab. (= derona Smith) (66 d) *). The $ only deviates from the allied species by the marks 
mentioned in the review. In the $ the forewing above is blackish with a greyish-blue spot of the posterior 
margin, reaching vein 4 and distally bordered by a dark marginal band of at least 3 mm width, strongly expanded 
at the posterior margin; hindwing dull greyish-blue, at the base somewhat darker with the usual markings 
at the anal angle. Madagascar. -— batikeli Bsd., described according to a $, owing to the figure only differs 
by a somewhat larger, greyish-blue spot of the posterior margin of the forewing and is probably nothing else 
but a $ of licinia, in which case the species must be called batikeli. Mabille, in Grakdidier’s large work, states 
that the $ of batikeli is almost quite similar to the this statement, however, is certainly attributable to the 
fact that he took small $$ to be J'J. Madagascar. 
D. dinochares Smith (= licinia Trim, non Mab.) dieclen Karsch) (66 d). <§. Forewing above orange- 
red, only at the costal margin as far as the cell, at the apex and margin black; apex about 4, distal margin 
about 2 mm broad black; hindwing as far as the margin orange-red, at the proximal margin as far as vein 1 b 
and at the base only to the middle of the cell blackish; ground-colour beneath slate-coloured. The $ differs 
*) Our figure 66 d exactly reproduces a specimen from the satellite island Nossi-BA But since it does not well corre¬ 
spond with the original description, we mention it here as doubtful.
