with a proximal projection, postmedian line less convex, the lunular line behind it more distinct. Antemedian 
and postmedian lines on the fold connected by a green streak. 2 from West Africa in the Berlin Museum, 
type from Spanish Guinea. 
D. barbara sp. n. (21 g, h). Body olive-greenish, abdomen more yellowish-grey, dorsal tufts blackish, barbara. 
Forewing quite olive-green, with olive-brown transverse lines which in the $ are often quite indistinct. Subbasal 
line sinuate, terminating in a dark dot on the fold, antemedian line rather little dentate, below the cell slantingly 
towards the base to the hind-margin. Postmedian line almost parallel to it, macula on the cross-vein light reddish- 
brown, almost parallel to the postmedian line a dentate discal line distally to it, a row of submarginal moon- 
spots. Hind wing yellowish-grey, under surface pale straw-coloured. In the similar lampra the moon-spots 
before the margin are very convex, in barbara they are strigiform, and in lampra the abdomen is apparently 
without liair-tufts. $ $ types from German East Africa in the Berlin Museum. 
D. chloroscia sp>. n. (21 h). Body dark olive-green, dorsal tufts blackish-brown. Forewing dark green, chloroscia. 
in some places darkened by violettish-brown powdering which is particularly distinct in a dark straight band 
from the costal margin across the cross-vein obliquely to 1 / 3 of the hind-margin. Of the transverse lines there are 
some traces at most. Hindwing light brownish-grey, often with a dark spot on the cross-vein. Under surface 
yellowish-brown with darker postdiscal stripes. $ type from Togo in the Berlin Museum, type from Cape 
Coast in the T. ing Museum, also from Bingerville. 
D. pista sp. n. (21 li) is similar to chloroscia, but it lacks the violettish-grey nebulous band in the pista. 
forewing, and the transverse lines are more distinct, particularly the almost straight and little dentate ante¬ 
median line. Hindwing somewhat lighter; under surface pale straw-coloured, without intense dark powdering. 
Somewhat larger than the preceding species. 3 from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. 
O. phylax sp. n. (21 h) is similar to pista, larger, hindwing not powdered with brown, whitish yellow, phylax. 
only at the hind-margin with some reddish-brown hairs, but fringes darker. Transverse lines in the forewing 
rather indistinct, the most distinct is a sharply dentate line distally to the postmedian line; veins at the margin 
brown. Under surface straw-coloured, spot on the cross-vein and traces of the postmedian line brownish. $ 
type from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. The 3 species mentioned last differ also considerably 
in the $ sexual organ. 
D. symbolum sp. n. (21 i). Body ochreous yellowish-brown, dorsal tufts blackish-brown. Forewing symbolum. 
beautifully apple-green, marginal area wood-coloured brown beginning from the postmedian line excepting 
a green spot proximally bordered with lilac above the tornus, before the margin a double row of blackish-brown 
spots. Antemedian line double, at the costal margin and hind-margin lilac; the macula on the cross-vein is 
blackhh-brown. Postmedian line double, filled with lilac, hindwing straw-coloured, powdered with a darker 
colour. 2 $<§ from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. 
D. albiapex sp. n. (21 h). Body pollard-coloured white, dorsal tufts blackish-brown. Forewing green, albiapex. 
powdered with blackish, all the lines indistinct. Apex dull white, bordered by an arcuate line, below which 
there is another white area. Hindwing grey, at the base whitish. $ type from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin 
Museum. 
D. scurra sp. n. (21 h). Body white, without abdominal tufts. Forewing pale olive-green, with white scurra. 
markings: a subbasal, an antemedian, and a postmedian transverse band, each of which encloses a green dentate 
line, and a submarginal one with a large proximal tooth on vein 5. Before the margin a series of brownish 
lunular spots. Hindwing and under surface white. $ type from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. 
D. poecila sp. n. (21 h). Forewing olive-coloured brownish-grey, a brown basal spot, a dot about poecila. 
in the centre of the cell and a macula at the cell-end are brown, in front of it a rather broad, distally convex 
band touching the macula and being very wide at the hind-margin. Postmedian line quite indistinct, behind 
it a macular band which is the most distinct at the costal margin, between the veins 4 and 6 and below vein 1 c. 
Marginal line quite indistinct, fringe speckled. Hindwing grey. Under surface straw-coloured, powdered with 
blackish, with a spot on the cross-vein and 2 postmedian rows of spots. Body olive-green, abdomen grey with 
black dorsal tufts. 2 from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. 
D. rubrieosfa sp. n. (21 i). Forewing light apple-green, powdered with blackish-brown, with a similar rubricosta. 
almost vertical strongly dentate antemedian line and distally convex postmedian line, behind it a row of spots. 
Macula at the cell-end also blackish-brown. Costal margin and distal margin fine red, fringes red speckled with 
blackish; hindwing brown with a rosy tinge, costal margin ochreous-yellow. Under surface reddish ochreous- 
yellow, costal margin and distal margin of forewing more red, forewing otherwise darkened by blackish, also 
the hindwing more or less powdered with blackish-brown. Body green, beneath yellow, dorsal tufts blackish- 
brown. $ type from Lolodorf, Cameroon, in the Berlin Museum. 
D. allotria sp. n. (23 f). $ habitus recalling that of basalis $, but the ground-colour of the forewing cdlotria. 
is dark brown. Tne basal area at % crossed by an indistinct white line. The median area beautifully lilac-grey, 
but the brown marginal area prominent between veins 4 and 6 as far as the dark, light-edged macula on the 
cross-vein, between 2 and 3 to the cell and below 2 to the basal area. Before the macula a prcximally open white 
crescent. Postmedian line blackish, below 1 c proximally white-pupilled. The macular band distally to it below 
the costal margin very broad blackish-brown, from veins 3 to 1 c only traceable. Before the margin a fine
