174 Mr. E. Doubleday on some Lepidoptera. 



costal nervule occupied by a large green patch, each divided ex- 

 cept the first by a black spot, these spots forming an irregular 

 transverse fascia. Cell black, the lower half almost occupied by 

 a golden green vitta extending from near the base to the end of 

 the cell. Posterior wings golden green, the golden colour pre- 

 dominating externally ; the anterior and outer margins black, the 

 former with one, the latter with five black spots, the costal spots 

 sometimes preceded by an orange dash ; the anal angle broadly 

 golden yellow. 



Head and thorax black, the latter with a long golden green 

 vitta above. Abdomen golden yellow.

This beautiful insect differs from Om. Priamus in the different 

 form of the green vittse of the anterior wings, in the golden green 

 colour of the median nervure and nervules, in its much smaller 

 posterior wings less broadly bordered with black, in the golden 

 green hue of its posterior wings below, and especially in the large 

 golden orange patch at the anal angle (which is black in Orii. 

 Priamus) J and the sufi"usion of the same colour along the outer 

 margin. 



It was found abundantly by Mr. Jukes on Darnley Island, 

 amongst the cocoa-nut groves.

Anterior wings elongate, rounded at the apex, the inner mar- 

 gin slightly concave, black : the cell with a transverse ochraceous 

 band near the end, and a bright fulvous vitta at the base, extend- 

 ing along the upper side of the median nervure beyond its second 

 nervule : beyond the cell is a macular band composed of seven 

 spots ; the first, near the costa, triangular, the second rhomboidal, 

 the third, fourth, fifth and sixth subtriangular, the apex directed 

 outwards, the seventh oval ; of these the first four are ochraceous, 

 the others fulvous : between this band and the cell is a large ful- 

 vous spot divided into three parts by the first and second median 

 nervules, and only separated from the vitta by the median ner- 

 vure ; near the apex four subovate ochraceous spots, 'the third 

 longest, placed so as to form an oblique macular band, and be- 

 low these near the outer margin four small spots of the same 

 colour. 



Posterior wings oval; the outer margin with four short, 

 rounded teeth ; fulvous, the outer margin broadly black, in which
