2i to 4 iniu. ; the next two are much smaller; the fourth is considerahly shorter 

 than in the other races, and as liroad as in fjodartlaiiun ; its average length is about 

 4 mm. ; the fifth is more or less rhomboidal, mostly somewhat longer than broad, 

 shorter than in ijodartlanus. 



The specimens from New Irehmd and Duke of York Island form partly a 

 transition to the next subspecies, as their forewings are darker above than in the 

 Xew Britain novohritannicus m., and the discal spots to the hindwings more 

 rounded. 



The pupa closely resembles that of P. aristolochiiie Falw. ; the abdominal 

 tubercles are rather higher than in that species.

I cannot see that the specimens from various parts of the iSolomon Islands lielong 

 to more than one race. The size and shape of the spots to the hindwings are rather 

 variable in every locality ; the nervules separating the white markings are always 

 \erv broadlv black. The posterior black internervular streaks on the underside of 

 the forewings are sometimes complete, extending from the brown border of the wing 

 to the basal brown area. 



Hah. Solomon Islands : Ugi ; Guadalcanar (4 J, 5 ¥ ) ; Alu (3 cJ, 4 ? ) ; Treasmy 

 Island. This is the most advanced form of polydorus, which I should treat as a 

 species, if it were not for the Duke of York specimens of P.polijdorua novohritannicus 

 m. and for P. polydorus septeidi-ionidis ni.

The hindwings have, besides a large cellular spot which occupies more than half 

 the cell, six white discal markings, of which the posterior ones are the longest. 



The submarginal spots are either all cream-colour, or the three posterior ones 

 are red; above, the submarginal markings are rather ob.scure, especially in the 

 individuals with a red body ; the anal mark is sometimes connected below with the 

 last white discal mark, and is of the same colour as the submarginal sjjots, i.e. either 

 buff or red. 



Tiie front of the liead, sides of the thorax underneath the wiugs, and part of the 

 abdomen are either yellowish buff or red.
