The Wetter <and Tenimber (.Sjerra) specimens do not differ from the Timor

The three subspecies of this species differ from P. periclcs Wall, especially in 

 the greater size, and in the development of a distinct blue or bluish green scaling 

 in the apical region of the forewings. The New Guinea form, which I know onlj' 

 from Mr. Oberthiir's description and figure, is rather different from typical lorqidni- 

 an!(,s, which inhabits the Northern ^Moluccas; Wallace's tvpical philippii,s from the 

 Southern [Moluccas stands, however, intermediate between the two, and proves that 

 the New Guiuean (dhertisi is not specifically distinct. 



(a): P. lorquinianus Feld., forma typ. [J.Jj- 

 cJ. While in some specimens the blue area of the forewings reaches only a little 

 beyond the base of the second median nervule, or is extended to the discocellular 

 veinlets, which remain, however, black, or there are blue scales even beyond the 

 apex of the cell. The ajiical greenish blue band is inconstant in breadth. The 

 cottony stripes on the two lower median and the sulimedian veins are always confluent 

 with one another, whilst that upon the upper median nervule stands separate. 



The pale submarginal triangular band on the underside of the forewings is in 

 some individuals a third narrower than in others ; the subdiscal tricolorous spots 

 on the hindwings are always rather large, though they vary considerably in size; the 

 ochraceous lunules especially are often twice as broad as usual. 



? . (Not yet described). Paler than the 7nale on either side. The blue area 

 faintly greener and a little less extended than in most males; the submarginal 

 greenish blue, feeble, band of the forewings longer, reaching tlie hinder angle of 

 the wing.

cj. Larger and somewhat greener (less blue) than lorquinianus Feld.; the 

 greenish blue area of the forewings extends some millimetres beyond the apex of the 

 cell, that of the hindwings is also larger than in lorquinianus; the hinder angle of 

 the forewings is much less rounded : the hairy streaks are joined only in the middle ; 

 and the subdiscal tricolorous spots on the underside of the hindwings are very large. 



in my single specimen from Ceram the submarginal band on the forewings 

 consists of six narrow and small bluish green spots ; the two posterior hairy streaks 

 are much smaller than in lorquinianus ; the sulnnarginal spots on the hindwings are 

 bluish green, not greenish blue ; and the subdiscal pale liand on the forewings beneath 

 is much less triangular, being comparatively narrow aiilcriorly and broad posteriorly.
