35. Ptilinopus eugeniae (Gonldj. 



We have two males from Ugi, collected by Mr. C. M. Woodford. 



The white head makes this form appear at first sight very distinct from 

 P. lewisi, bnt it is possible that this also in the end will prove to be only a 

 subspecies of the latter. 



The two forms standing at the head of onr enumeration {hi/ogastrr and 

 grnnulifrons) are most cnrions ; bnt as tliey inhabit areas quite outside the regions 

 we are dealing with in this article, we will not discuss them here. 



The Genus MEGALOPREPIA. 



This genus, according to our view, contains only two species : Mcgaloprepia 

 formom. G. R. Gray, from the Northern Moluccas to Obi, and M. magitip'ca (Temm.), 

 which consists of five subspecies, and extends from the Western Papuan Islands to 

 Australia. We have here only to deal with the second species. 



30. Megaloprepia magnifica magnifica (Temm.). 



Eastern Australia from Rockingham Bay, south to New South Wales. We 

 have 5 specimens : 



One without locality, one marked Queensland, one marked S " South 

 Australia" (Jide Whitely), 1 c? 1 ? Richmond River, South Queensland, 1874 

 (Cockerell coll.), per Baron A. von Hiigel. 



37. Mcgaloprepia magnifica assimilis (J. Gouldj. 

 Similar to the former, but smaller. The females are smaller than the males, as 

 in the former. 



North of Rockingham Bay to Cape York. 



We have the following 7 specimens : — 



1 cJ, 2 ? Cedar Bay (A. S. Meek coll.).

38. Megaloprepia magnifica puella (Less.). 

 Much smaller, the purple of the underside much more reddish, the yellow band 

 on the wing more dissolved into spots.
