| Notes : |
| Easily distinguished by the yellow subbasal band on the
underside of the hind wing. None of the forms are very common. The subspecies D.a.albiplaga is distinguished by having the hindwing patch white instead of yellow. The subspecies, D.a.discoides is often to be
found listed as a subspecies of D. discus. Talbot, in his
monograph places it here, and I can not find the reference moving to D.discus,
and as such I have kept it here. there has also been confusion as to
where it was found. Talbot mentions North Dutch New Guinea, and many
people, myself included, concluded that he meant the Doberai Peninsular.
However, Henk van Mastrigt has corrected me on this, advising that it is
actually to be found around the Cyclop Mtns range near the Capital,
Jayapura. |
