This decidedly Papuan insect must be split up into four subspecies, of which that 

 from \\'oodlark Island is unknown to me : — 



(rt) : P. euchenor (ruer. from New Guinea; 



(\j) : 1'. euchenor ohsolescens subsp. nov. from the Aru (and Key ?) Islands ; 



(c) : P. eucheiior dejyilis subsp. nov. from New Britain and New Ireland ; and 



(d): P. euchenor tjodarli INloutr. from Woodlark Island. 



The markings of the males are primrose-yellow; those of the females are much 

 paler, sometimes almost white. 



(a) : P. euchenor Guer., forma typ. [(?,?]• 



d. Foreu'inr/s : the median nervules traversing the primrose-yellow band are 

 often thinly black ; near the end of the cell there stand occasionally some additional 

 small spots, especially on the underside; besides the three subapical spots there are 

 below from one to four subinarginal markings. 



Hindwings below with the ochreous and the blue markings var^-ing in size ; the 

 two marginal spots between the median nervides are sometimes tinged with ochreous. 



? . Exhibits the same variation as the male. In a specimen recorded by Kirsch 

 (I.e.) the hindwings have above two discal spots separated from the pale creamy band.

The subapical spots of the forewings are large ; the third one is connected with a 

 large additional mark near the end of the cell. 



This remarkable aberration, the type of whicli is in my collection, was found on 

 Jobie Island. 



Hab. Mainland of New (fuinea (20 J, 10 ? ) ; Jobie (1 J-ah.j ; Salvatty (1 6) ; 

 Waigeu (3 c?, 1 ?) ; Fergu.-sou Island, D'Entrecasteaux Islands (a good series of both 

 sexes). 



Not foimd on the south coast of British New (juinea.
