On the underside the submaigiiial series of vermilion spots is nearly always 

 complete, but the spots are very variable in size ; the blue lunules stand closer to 

 the vermilion spots than in the other subspecies of P. aegeus, and the huffish luuules 

 are on a level with the anal spot, whereas in 7-*. aef/eus ormenus and adrastus they 

 are in most specimens situated farther towards the cell. 



?. Monomorphic. The single character by which the females from Austral ui 

 are distinguishable from those of oriiienus a.nd (odrastus is the white area of the hind- 

 wings being extended ou the underside to the costal margin, or at least being con- 

 nected with that margin by means of a thin white arched line. This line is not 

 present iu an}' of my New Guinea examples, but it is almost obliterated in certain 

 specimens from North Queensland.
