We must, from its size (wing 2n6 mm.), regard the male specimen as a 

 cyanocephalus. The female is quite typical, and proves the occurrence of this 

 form in S.E. New Gninea.

Besides being smaller (wings 180 — 185 mm.), the upperside, especially the 

 head and mantle, are deeper and more of a bluish black, and we therefore no 

 longer refrain from naming this form. 



Type : 3 ad., Gizo, 31. x. 03. (No. A 696.) 



We hope to see the females of this form before long. 



Named in honour of Mr. Albert Meek.
