As icgavds the fliarafters of i)atlern, I must say that they flo not give us, any 

 nniioitanf hints: the type-sppciinon is in bad condition, and the i)attern in Oberthllr's 

 lii,'ure is not covrect ; I cannot see that anything in the pattern of goliath i)oints 

 against its being a sjiecinien of T. pridimts poseidon (Doubl.). That the eyes are 

 jiosteriorly bordered with white is not to be wondered at, as we find this character in 

 all females of pvlamus and its subspecies, though tlie white may be a little more 

 conspicuous in •/dlintli.

Hindwings, underside, with two whitish or yellowish spots between the costal 

 margin and the ujiper discoidal nervule inside the two tirst submarginal markings. 



This form, which occurs all over the area occupied by T. priamiis poseidon 

 (Doubl), reminds one of the pattern of T. jjviamus ricliih.ondius (txra}').

Tiie blue scaling on the basal liall nr basal Iwo-thirds of the hindwings above is
