from that of licinia only by the bluish-grey colouring above being fainter and more diffuse. Transvaal, Matabele 
Land, Mashuna Land, Delagoa Bay, German and British East Africa, Madagascar. 
L. livia King (66 e) is very closely allied to the preceding and only deviates by the black markings livia. 
beneath; the black marginal band on the forewing above grows posteriorly much narrower and is more pointed. 
Wings in the $ above lighter brown; with a bluish-grey tint as far as beyond the middle. — The larva in its 
young state is green, later on flesh-coloured, and lives in the pods of Acacia nilotica and farnesiana, and is said 
also to harm the fruits of the pomegranate-tree. British East Africa, Somali Land, Nubia, Arabia and Nigeria. 
D. dohertyi Bah. is unknown to me. The forewing, according to the description, is in the above dohertyi. 
lead-coloured with a large, orange-yellow, almost square spot of the posterior margin, extending from the middle 
of the posterior margin to the cell-apex and vein 5 and being distally slantingly cut off; hindwing orange-yellow 
with a lead-coloured base, proximal and costal margins; distal margin finely black; under surface with a light 
grey ground-colour. British East Africa; Kikuyu. 
D. dinomenes Smith. $. Wings above orange-red, lustrous, only the apex and distal margin (very dinomenes. 
narrow) of the forewing black. Basal dots and transverse lines beneath red; forewing beneath at the posterior 
margin orange-yellow. $ similar to that of dinochares (66 R), but above more grey and.with a distinct, black 
submarginal spot in the area 1 c. Sierra Leone; Transvaal and Delagoa Bay. 
D. antalus Hpfjr. (66 e). wings above monotonously coppery brown without any other markings antalus. 
but two small, black submarginal dots of the hindwing in 1 c and 2; anal lobe scaled blackish-blue, at the proxi¬ 
mal margin yellowish; under surface grey with black basal dots and dark transverse lines. The $ is very much 
like the $$ of the allied species, above brown, dusted bluish-grey beyond the middle and in the middle of each 
wing brightened up by whitish, the submarginal spots and anal lobe of the hindwing as in the <$. — The larva 
lives in the pods of Crotalaria capensis, being above greyish or flesh-coloured with black dots and spots and 
covered with short, black bristles; the first and second joints are yellow. Pupa of the usual shape with a blackish 
thorax and wing-sheaths, the posterior body reddish-yellow, densely covered with small black dots and a black 
dorsal line. On the whole continent common, also in the Comoro Islands and in Madagascar. — ab. 9 kitobolensis kitobolensis. 
Strand is larger and has the ground-colour of both wings beneath more brownish-grey and the transverse bands 
of the forewing beneath a little narrower; the under surface of the hindwing is distinguished by the presence 
of only 2 distinct, black, basal punctiform spots, that in the dorsal area being only very feebly indicated.

D. caliginosa Lathy (66 e). <$. Wings above blackish with a purple lustre, beneath dark slate-coloured caliginosa. 
with the usual markings, but without black submarginal dots above on the hindwings. 9 unknown. Nigeria. 
D. tsiphana Bsd. <$. Wings above blackish-blue, strewn with light blue scales. Hindwing above tsiphana. 
at the margin in the areas 1 b to 2 greyish-yellow with distinctly prominent black dots in 1 c and 2. The under 
surface is almost white and rather considerably deviates from the other species in the marking. Forewing with 
a thick, submarginal nebulous line from vein 1 to vein 6, and with a slanting nebulous band extending from 
the submarginal spot of area 1 b to the middle of the costal margin; the areas 4 and 5 in the middle a little 
darkened; hindwing in the middle somewhat darkened with a black basal dot in 7, a transverse streak at 
the cell-end, a broad transverse spot in 7, opposite the apex of the cell and the border-lines of the indistinct 
discal band coloured greyish-brown; the submarginal spot of the area 2 proximally bordered with a reddish 
yellow; anal lobe long and narrow; the small tail short. In the 9 the wings above are blackish-grey, at the base 
suffused with bluish. Madagascar. 
D. rava Holl. 9 upper surface dark brown with an oval orange spot in the forewing behind the cell rava. 
and the distal third of the hindwing from the costal angle to the anal angle also orange-yellow; the margin 
of the hinclwing is dark brown and the orange-yellow colour before the little tail interrupted by a brown round 
spot; the little tail black with a white tip. The under surface marked almost as in eleala Hew. (66a). This 
description is too scant for the diagnose of the species, rava may be the 9 °f aruma or it may be allied to 
orisona. Ogowe River. 
D. renidens Mab. is another species entirely unknown to me, described as Hypolycaena, but probably renidens. 
belonging to Deudorix. Wings above black; forewing with a postmedian, blue, bright area with a, green 
reflection; hind wing in the middle with a triangulai, blue spot and a bluish anal lobe; fringes black. Wings 
beneath dull blackish, forewing in the discal cell with a darker spot proximally bordered with white, and with 
a dark marginal band pointed towards the anal angle; hindwing beneath at the base with 3 black dots surrounded 
with white, in the cell with 2 transverse streaks, 2 rows of white transverse streaks in the middle and 2 at the 
margin; a black marginal spot bordered with red in the area 2; anal lobe with blue scales. Madagascar.
