D. ostentator sp. n. (60 c $). Very similar to bramarbas, but in the hindwing veins 6 and 7 rise close ostentator. 
together, the dark median band of the forewing extends to the inner margin, otherwise corresponding with 
bramarbas, particularly in the dents of the basal area of the hindwing. $ type from Cameroon (Yaunde Station 
in the Berlin State Museum, also from Uganda. 
D. widenmanni Karsch (60 b rf). The dark basal area of the hindwing more uniform or not dentate, widen- 
sometimes clistally almost rectilinearly defined, at the costal margin very indistinctly lighter. The dark median mann 
band of the forewing reaches to the margin and is not interrupted in typical specimens; — in the form 
conjuncta Strd. (47 f) it is interrupted, the discal and subbasal white undulate lines are contiguous. — In conjuncta. 
arrogans form. nov. (47 f) the dark median band of the forewing is isolated from the inner margin, in the same arrogans. 
way as in bramarbas , the yellowish-brown subbasal line is more excurved towards the margin. The dark basal 
area of the hindwing is less extensive, slightly extending distally beyond the posterior angle of the cell (<$ type 
from German East Africa in the Berlin State Museum); German East Africa; Kilimanjaro. Hitherto only 
the $ is known. 
D. maculata Conte (60 c $). Chiefly separated from widenmanni by the dark basal area of the hindwing maculata. 
being very whitish in its anterior portion; its distal border is mostly without pointed dents; the posterior angle 
of the cell extends almost to the distal edge of the marginal area. Usambara, German East Africa. It may 
be a femal form of widenmanni.
