Original description of Phassus dirschi ( Bang-Haas 1939) . “ Upper side of FW dark brown, on the front edge are four brown, white edged spots. A white band runs from the 2nd spot to the middle of the forewings. From the 2nd spot a white band runs to the middle of FW, from the 4th spot a brown band with 2 metal-gold spots, then a further, larger golden spot towards the base. A straight white submarginal band extends just before the apex to the inner edge, a 6 mm long oblique band of the same colour ends in the tip of FW. At the base of the inner margin is a carmine-red spot. Underside of FW brownish; the markings of HW evenly carmine red. Both wings with blackbrown fringes. Underside of HW dirty red. Head, thorax brownish red, abdomen carmine red, the last segments brownish. Antennae yellowish.”

Remarks. Postdiscal longitudinal band extending as a narrow sub-straight white line between costal margin near junction of Rs1 and Rs2 and CuA 2 ( Fig. 30b View FIGURE 30 ). Slide mounted image of male genitalia ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10–20 ) indicate that the lateral flange on the posterior saccus margin is more broadly extended laterally than in other Magnificus species.
