Remarks.

Sexually dimorphic species for the wing pattern, males and females show chromatic variation, and the association between them was proposed by Druce (1884). Females with polychromatism on the hindwings, where the discal band might show variable thickness. Males show variation in the forewings, where the semi-hyaline spots might be well delimited in some specimens or vanished in others; hindwings with variable basal and discal region, whitish or orange; hindwing submarginal band sometimes with orange proximal spots. It is distinguished from the other species in the D. marginalis complex by presenting reduced markings on the tegula and patagium, and the posterior margin of the abdominal sternites delineated by brown scales.
