The collection coutains a dozen pairs of this insect, in which there is con- 

 siderable variation shown both bv the males and the females, particularly by the 

 latter. The chief variation in the male sex is in the extent of the lilack markiiij; at 

 the base and on the inner margin of the secondaries. In some si)ecimens the black 

 of the inner margin extends inwardly as far as the lower edge of the cell and to 

 vein 2 : in others it does not touch the lower edge of the cell nor nearly reach 

 vein 2, in one case not extending much beyond vein 1. In a single specimen 

 before me the inner marginal black area is pnshed into the body of the wing almost 

 to vein i5. The black at the base extends outwardly njiou the cell in the majority 

 of specimens only to about half its length, bnt in two cases it reaches almost to the 

 end of the cell. The clear yellow discal i)atch on the disc of the wings is thus, as 

 Mr. Wallace pointed out in his description, " variable in form and extent." One 

 i>f the specimens agrees perfectly with Hipjion's figure of 7'. iiajjueuitii^, recently 

 published. The females vary greatly in size and in the amount of the light colour 

 on the primaries, as well as in the form and extent of the light colour on the 

 secondaries, and of the black spots. The smallest female has an expanse of wing 

 of 140 mm., the largest of 108 mm. Some specimens have very faint light line 

 on either side of the nervuks, others liave the whole discal area at the end of the 

 cell pale buff, intersected by the black lines of the veins alone. These constitute 

 " merkwiirdige Aberrationen," for which German dealers are in the habit of 

 charging high prices, which I judge not to be at all uncommon in good sets of 

 specimens of this and many of the allied species.

The collection contains a good set of the males and thvee females of this 

 species, rather larger than specimens generally received from other localities, so far 

 as my observation shows.
