Remarks.
Sexually dimorphic species. Males and females show slightly chromatic variation, usually limited to the intensity of red tones on the hindwing spots. Males of D. boisduvalii are distinguished from other species associated with this complex ( D. centenaria and D. inominatum ) by showing spiniform projections at the base of the valva, whereas females are distinguished by having the opening of ostium in the middle of the seventh sternite and an enlarged ductus bursae. Based on the similarity of wing pattern, males could participate in a mimicry ring with other similar species in this genus, such as D. centenaria (see below) and D. inominatum , among others.
Material examined.
1 male, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro; 1 female, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.
