♂ (Peninsular Malaysia)

The forewing pattern is always reddish brown with silvery spots. As with the other cossoid families discussed here, the larva is said to tunnel in trees (Common 1970).

The Oriental species, D. leucosticta Hampson, is known from the N.E. Himalaya, Sri Lanka and Peninsular Malaysia. The record for the last locality is a specimen (above) taken recently by Mr H.S. Barlow, so the family may await discovery in Borneo. The male genitalia are illustrated in Fig. 52.
