Notes       :
  A further modification of the hyparete pattern. White submarginal spots start to appear on the upper forewing. There is a tiny red subcellular spot on the underside hindwing, which is only rarely absent. this spot has also been known to occur in some specimens of D.mysis. It is thought that this spot is all that remains of a much larger spot such as can be found on D.caeneus.

The larva and pupa have been described.

A not uncommon species.
