4 to 7 mm.; the three following ones have an average length of (i, 7. and 8^ mm. 

 respectively ; the fifth mark is longer than in poli/dm-ns, as it is basally less obliquely 

 cut off. The nervules are much thinner black than in polydorus and thessalin; 

 the second and third median ones are reddish. 



The posterior submarginal spots are above, as in tliessalia, less suffused with 

 Mack than in polydonis.

Comes nearer to typical polydai'iis L. than to leniiiiberensis m. and thesmdia 

 (Swinh.), and differs from it as follows : — 



Size rather smaller ; forewings moi'e rounded. Cellular spot to the hindwings as . 

 in polydorus ; the three first discal spots longer, the first also narrower; the two 

 posterior ones as in jjolydorus. Below, there is an additional white mark between the 

 upper discoidal and the subcostal veins, which is sometimes also marked above. The 

 veins bordered with black as in polydorus. Head, thorax, and abdomen as in 

 polydoru.'i. 



In my Thursday Island specimens the white colour on the forewiugs is rather 

 restricted, and in one individual there is, below, a white transverse spot behinil the 

 cnsta of the hindwings at the basal side of the first submarginal red mark. 



P'rom tenimherensis m. this subspecies differs especially in the much less 

 extended white and rounder forewings, in the shorter discal spots to the hindwings, 

 of which the first is broader, and in the presence of an additional white discal spot 

 before the first discoidal vein. 



From tkcisaliii (Swinh.) it is distinguishable by the rounder forewings again, 

 the much larger cellular spot to the hindwings, the larger and differently shaped first 

 discal spot, the shorter second and fourth spots, and larger fifth one.

(e): P. polydorus septentrionalis subsp. nov. [J, ?]. 



Head and thorax entirely black. Larger tlian f/odarliamis ; upperside less dee]i 

 black, with a much feebler bluish gloss. Forewings longer, with the black inter- 

 nervular strijies more prominent than in typical fioilartinjws, the posterior white 

 stripes less marked than in polydorus and ab. phtr/iatus, but more than in tyjiical 

 godartianus. 



The submarginal spots to the hindwings are all visible above; the white cellular 

 spot is about as large as in typical godartinmw, or a little larger; the discal spots are 

 all rounded exteriorly; the first and last are triangular; the third, fourth, and fifth 

 are shorter than in r/odaHiamis ; in my single tj the anterior spots are clouded with 

 black. The nervules separating the spots are heavily black.
