Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 7, 20). Wingspan male 42–43, female 43–45 mm. The species has same ground plan of wing colouration and pattern, but differs from allied species by somewhat more bluish tint of forewing, and more contrasting pattern, well expressed blackish medial line and whitish surrounding of line and patches, reduced subbasal, apical and anal brown patches. Hindwing yellow, with broad terminal band and line of subterminal yellow or yellow with black semilunar streaks. Labial palps larger than in D. eurychlora , more yellowish, laterally less blackish-brown; 3rd segment finger-like, slightly shorter than in D. eurychlora . Male genitalia. ( Fig. 12). In the male genitalia D. sailendra differs from it’s allied taxa by wider valva, strongly constricted above sacculus narrower cucullus with distinct neck; strong curved apical extension of sacculus and large, flattened quadrangular with pointed angle latero-apical extension. Harpe developed, moderate, juxta wide, with triangular gutter and unexpressed lateral flaps. Aedeagus straight, moderate; carina with one apical spine; vesica projecting ventrally, tubular, with subapical narrow but long diverticula bearing dense minute cornuti and triangular extension. Female genitalia. ( Fig. 17). Papillae anales quadrangular, larger than in other species, apophyses posteriores 1.5x longer and stronger than anteriores ones; antrum wider, but shorter than in other species, with narrow sclerotised margin; ductus bursae twisted, with large sclerotised wrinkled patch in caudal part, membranous in proximal part; corpus bursae elongated, ovoid, sclerotised and wrinkled in caudal part.

Distribution. (Map. 24). Malaysia, Borneo (prov. Sabah), Brunei, Indonesia, Great Sunda islands, Sumatra, Sumbawa, Flores, Timor, Philippines (Palawan, Mindoro, Negros Isl.).

Bionomics: Kobes (1992) reported Urticaceae spec. as foodplant of the larvae; Bombax (Bombacaceae) and Trema (Ulmaceae) are reported by Holloway (2009).
