oclireons ring of nearly the same reddish brown colour as the inner line of the 

 l)ostdiscal bands, and narrower than above. The ^y/^c-specimen is much darker 

 above than omphale, while the specimen from German New (ininea approaches 

 mnphale in the tint of the ground-colonr. 



¥ . Uifl'ers from hercules kercules in the eye-spots being smaller, the dusting 

 of grey and reddish brown scales outside the postdiscal band more extended, and 

 in the cellular portion of the white line of the basal band of the forewing being 

 8 or 9 mm. distant from the black ring of the eye-spot. 



In these characters my three females from Waigen, Mefor, and Fergnsson I. 

 agree, while they differ inter sc in the width of the white line of the postdiscal 

 band, in the size of the hyaline spots, and the tint of the ground-colour of the 

 ujiperside. The hyaline spots are in the Waigen ? as large as in my Queenslandian 

 specimens.

i. As eimjstheus, but eye-spots much larger ; hyaline centres wider, that of 

 forewing measuring 7^ by 12 mm. ; white line of cellular curved portion of basal 

 baud of forewing lU mm. distant from the black ring of the eye-spot ; clayish 

 ochraceous outer-marginal region of forewing wider ; white line of jjostdisc^l band 

 more distinct. Body above paler. 



? . Anterior portion of basal band of forewing above only 4 or o mm. distant 

 from the black ring of the eye-spot, while in etuystkeus the distance is 8 or 9 mm.; 

 outer-marginal region of forewing above for a greater distance without grey and 

 reddish brown scales. Body paler. 



Groimd-colour of wings above varies i'rum walnut-brown to raw sienna-colour, 

 with the basal and outer-marginal regions lighter.

<?. Upperside : forewings, chestnut-brown, speckled all over with black scales, 

 gi\'ing a greyish tint to the wings. About one-fourth from tlie base the wing is 

 crossed by a black line, strongly angulatcd between veins 1 and 2; this line is edged 

 outwardly with white. At the ape.x of cell is a round eye, consisting of a vitreous 

 dot surrounded by a broad ring of tawny ochraceous and enclosed by a very narrow 

 line of dull whitish pink. Halfway between tliis eye and the outer margin the 

 wings are crossed by a black transverse line, curved near costa, margined on the 

 inner side with a pinkish wliite band, which colour runs into the wing towards 

 the eye in the form of scattered light scales. 



Hindwings, basal two-thirds brownish pink, crossed between middle and base 

 by an indistinct black band. In the centre of the wings is a large eye, liaving a 

 vitreous centre, outside this a dark yellow broad ring, then a narrower black one, 

 followed by a dark red one, the whole enclosed by an outside whitish pink ring. A 

 little beyond the eye the wings are crossed by a broad black sinuous baud, edged on 

 the inner side with a narrow grey line. Onter third of wings chestnut, freckled with 

 black like forewings.
