 mediau Hue blackest on inner marjiiu, joined at vein 5 by an outer grey line from

The aberration. /for/wwryo was described from a ? ; bnt now that I have seen 

 a (? from the same locality, Tenimber Islands, I am satisfied that the species is 

 distinct from c>/ane Cram. In the cJ the head, thorax, and abdomen are nearly 

 wholly deep yellow, the purple bands of c>/aiic being reduced to insignificant 

 greyish marks. The paler interspaces of the forewings are hyaline blue, not 

 white ; the broad pale fascia before the middle of wing, interrupted above vein 1 

 in ci/aric, is continued obliijnely inwards to middle of inner margin. In the hiud- 

 wing the cell-spot is much more conspicuous, and continued the whole length of 

 the discocellnlar ; the yellow marginal border, which is not entire as in the ? , 

 but invaded by a series of dark hinules along the margin, is of a deeper, more 

 orange shade than in ci/ane proper.

 along the extreme edge, with minute black marks ; basal patch olive-grey ; 

 antemedian band rather broad, from subcostal vein at about one-third to inner 

 margin at two-fifths, bent outwards on median and submediau veins and inwards 

 immediately below median ; a broad olive-grey snbmargiual fascia with irregular 

 edges, really formed of striations through which the brighter green of the ground- 

 colour ai)i)ears in places ; marginal area of ground-colour, forming an oblong 

 (luadratc patch between veins 5 and 7, the apex and a patch below it olive-grey; 

 fringe olive-grey. 



lliiiihciiiij : with the olive-grey area marginal, and occupying more than 

 half of wing ; a patch of bright green on margin from apex nearly to vein 4, 

 and a smaller one within anal angle ; the tooth at vein 4 slight, with a vinous 

 marginal sjiot between it and vein 3 ; cell-spot grey, at ujipor end of discocellular ; 

 fringe olive-grey. 



Underside whitish green ; the submarginal fasciae on both wings vinous 

 fuscous, with a blackish band on their inner edge ; the inner baud of forewiug 

 dark vinous ; fringe ])ale green, tijiped with brown in i)laces. 



Face and pal2>i above olive-grey, below whitish ; fillet jialc olive-greun ; 

 vertex, shoulders, patagia, and dorsum bright green ; thorax pale green ; under- 

 side of abdomen and legs pale green.
