somewhat oljlong. Exterior band obsolete, lilackisli, from the costal margin obliquely outward to vein 4, then 
obliquely inward. dark oblique shadow from the a])ex towai’ds the bend. A grey s])ot below it between veins 
o and .‘k Hindwing violettish red with a round Idack spot between veins b and 2, broadly brown at the inner 
margin. Thorax of $ somewhat red. Forewing red, densely striated broAvn. Hindwing less brown at the inner 
margin. 80 mm. Niger District, Uganda. 
M. discolor Gn. (24 e) is just as varial)le as phaeoso'nia. bid^ at once discernible from it by the red ab¬ 
domen. Thorax and forewing orange, densely striated dark brown. A dark band from j/;} costal margin to the 
distal margin at vein 2. An exterior band is traceable, slightly broken behind the lower cell-angle. Of the 3 
white sjmts at the cross-vein the lower one is mostly considerably larger. A submarginal line, excurved behind 
tire cell, is mostly discernible, ofteir darker behiml it as far as the margin, exce])t at the apex. Hindwing light 
red. forewing often also yellow, slightly drrsted Irrown. The line from the costal margin to vein 2 is mrrch 
more consiricuorrs, also the others ofteir more distinct, especially one from the lower cell-angle inward. 75 to 
85 mm. West. South, and East AlHca, Madagascar. 
26. Genus: I>ermaleipa S'aaZwi. 
Of the 12 forms hitherto known from this genns one lives in the East Indies where it extends very 
far to the north as far as the Hoccaido and the Amur Land; this is D. jirno figured in Vol. Ill, ])1. 60 d. Three 
species are Australian, the rest from Africa. Many GcJ have a very pretty scent-organ. — Proboscis normal, 
])alpi erect, antennae of G finely ciliated. Hind tibiae laterally long-haired, the middle and hind tibiae spined. 
Neuration of forewing normal. Vein 5 of hindwing above the lower cell-angle. G wdth a hair-pencil at the centre 
of the inner margin. Type; pnrnlleJvpipeda Gn. 
D. rubricata HoU. {=- ignicans limps., daseia, Fairc.) (24 b). Thorax and forewing red-brown, ab¬ 
domen greyish brovm, red at the end. Eorewing darker at the costal margin, lighter around the reniform 
macula. Interior line yellow, rusty red outside, very oblique. A black dot in the cell, reniform macula large, 
pointed above, edged black, sometines filled with black below. Exterior line also yellow and rusty red, ob¬ 
liquely outward, slightly bent inward at vein 5. Often traces of a dark postcellular spot. Submarginal line 
obsolete, light, with black dots at the veins, ending at the anal angle. Hindwing orange, more or less tinged 
with red. Blackish from the cell to the inner margin, a broad sidimarginal band as far as vein 6 forward. 
42—52 mm. West, Central and East Africa. 
D. minians 3Iab. (24 f) is somewhat different from the other s])ecies. Body and foi*ewing brownish 
ochreous, dusted red-brown. Interior line brown, oblique, undulate. Ring-macula small, edged dark. Reni¬ 
form macula large, edged dark, with a dark median streak. Exterior line brown, slightly inward, excurved 
in the middle. Submarginal line indistinctly brown, undulate, with black dots. The $ is more intensely red¬ 
dened on both rvings. Hindwing orange. 50 mm. Madagascar. Tanganyica District. A great rarity. 
D. quadrilineata Sfrd. (24 b). Thorax and forewing jmle led-brown. Interior line light, oblicpie, slightly 
distally convex at the median vein, somewhat darker behind it. Cellular s]3ot black, reniform macula not so 
pointed aboA^e as in 7'uhricafa. Exterior line light, steeper than in rubricata, darker behind it, especially at the 
costal margin. Exterior line fine, light, straight. At the inner margin the exterior line is almost as distant 
from the su])marginal line as from the interior one. Hindwing yellow, i)ale 1)rown at the inner margin as far 
as the cell, with a narrow submarginal band. $ 45 mm. East Africa. 
D. meterythra limps. Thorax red-brown, abdomen yellow with a red apex. Forewing red-brown, 
darker at the costal margin. Interior line yellowish with dark margins, very oblique, straight. Ring-macula 
and reniform macula greyish-brown, edged with yellow. Exterior line yellow, edged dark outside, ending near 
the anal angle, where there is a dark shaflow outside. G ^8 mm. Central Africa. 
D. arcifera Hmps. (24 f). Thorax and forewing coloured as in quadrilineata. Abdomen yellow. In¬ 
terior line straight, very obli([ue. Reniform macula edged dark. Exterior line light, convex in the middle. 
Submarginal line pale, somewhat inward below the costal margin, then vertical. The exterior line terminates 
at the inner margin somewhat nearer to the submarginal line than to the interior line. Hindwdng uniformly 
yellow. $ 52 mm. East Africa. 
D. nubilata Holt. Similar to arcifera. (24 f.) A dark dot in the centre of the cell. Reniform macuda 
edged dark. Exterior line at the ends as in a.rcijera, but straight between them. A triangular dark shadow' 
behind it in the apical area. An inwardly bent submaiginal line is indicated by black dots. Himhving brow'iiish 
ochreous. G ^5 mm. (Vjngo. 
D. parallelipipeda Gn. (= saalnndleri Mab.) (24 f). Thorax and forewing red-brown, abdomen yellow. 
Interior line of forewing somewhat stee])er, the exterior one somewhat more oblique, terminating at the anal 
angle. Reniform macula brown, edged dark. Submarginal line ])ale, meeting the exterior line at the anal 
angle. (Mostly a blackish s])ot before it, behind the cell. Hindwing yellow, slightly brown at the innei' margin. 
— lu renimacula 8trd. (25 b) the reniform macula is black, but there are also specimens in wdiich only the 
low'er part of the macula is black (see the figure). luteimaculata Strd. has this low'er angle yelloAv; hind¬ 
wing red at the margin. brunneipicta Htrd. Hindwing with a brown inner margin and the beginning of a 
submarginal band. - In ochribrunnea Strd. the forewing is more yellowish brown. 45—50 mm. West Africa.
