From the above details of the restriction of the Linn®an Danai to the 
D. Gandidi , it is evident that the action of these earlier authors must tase 
precedence of that of Latreille. ( Gonf. Kirby, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. x. pp. 397-8

Imago.— Male. Upperside white. Forewing with the base and costa slightly 
greyish-black scaled ; the apex with a broad black posteriorly-decreasing band 
extending to below the middle median veinlet, its inner margin being excurved and 
slightly irregular ; occasionally a very few black scales are present in the upper 
median interspace. Hindwing with a black costal spot. Underside. Foveiving 
white, the apical band very pale yellow ; a large quadrate black discal spot between 
the upper and middle medians, and a more irregular shaped spot between the lower 
median and submedian. Hindwing very pale yellow, sparsely speckled with minute 
black scales, these scales being slightly more numerous in the cell area; extreme 
basal edge of costa slightly brighter yellow; costal black spot less prominent than 
on upperside. 
Female. Upperside white. Foreiving with the black apical band somewhat 
broader; a discal large black quadrate spot between the upper and middle median 
veinlets, a similar spot between the lower median and submedian, and a more or 
less elongated streak below the latter vein. Hindwing with a black costal spot 
which is generally larger than in the male. Underside similar to the male. Body 
above greyish-black ; thorax clothed with grey hairs ; body beneath white ; front of 
head, palpi, and legs white; antennge black above, segmented beneath with white, 
the tip white.
