opportunity of being able to determine these two insects as the sexes of one another, 
we are indebted to Dr. Rogenhofer, the Custodian of the Zoological Museum, Vienna, 
who has kindly favoured us with a coloured drawing of Dr. Felder’s type specimen, 
and which we reproduce on our Plate No. 78, fig. 2a. 
This species is closely allied to D. Sinorix , but the male is distinguishable from 
it, on the upperside, by the forewing not possessing the pale ochreous subapical 
spots, and by the hindwing having the black spots and their reddish-ochreous border 
more clearly defined. On the underside, the male of _D. Samio is of a redder tint 
throughout; the transverse subbasal and the discal line are both narrower, less 
narrow than even in D . Kansa ; on the hindwing the discal line is much outwardly - 
angulated in its middle, and it is also incurved much closer towards the subbasal 
line at its upper end than in either B. Sinorix or D. Kansa . On the forewing 
beneath, there are only four ocelli present in B. Samio. The female (D. Purana of 
Felder) differs from the same sex of D . Sinorix , on the upperside, in the forewing 
having a more defined transverse discal white band, and one—the lower—subapical 
spot only being present; the markings on the hindwing, however, are similar. On 
the underside the colour of the female is also paler, and more ochreous in tint; and 
on the forewing there are only four ocelli present; on the hindwing the discal line is 
much angulated outwardly in its middle and incurved upwards nearer to the subbasal 
line than in D . Sinorix .

Imago. —Male. Upperside glossy, dark olivescent ochreous-brown. Porewing with 
a slender very indistinct dusky-black transverse subbasal and a discal straight nearly 
erect line ; a subapical series of three pale ochreous yellow small round spots, between 
the two upper of which is a smaller black spot, and another lower black spot between 
the middle and lower median veinlets ; a slightly-apparent dusky transverse fascia 
composed of glandular scales crossing the wing before the discal line. Hindwing with 
a broad outer discal angular-bordered pale reddish-ochreous fascia, upon which are six 
black spots, of which the upper third and the lowest are very minute; the extreme 
outer margin being darker reddish-ochreous. Underside very pale olivescent-brown, 
the discal area and apex of forewing washed with chalybeate lilacine-white ; marginal 
lines dark purplish-red. Forewing with a subbasal and a discal transverse straight 
dark purple-red thick line, and a dentate inner mark within the cell; beyond which 
is a series of six small pale spots, the upper being white, the others ocellate, the 
second, fifth, and sixth with black centre and white pupil, the third and fourth
