This form differs from the New Guinea race in the middle spots of the median 

 band on the under.side of the forewings being devoid of white scales towards the 

 cell, and in the hindwings bearing on the underside a number of discal red spots 

 posteriorly, of which that between the lower median branches is the largest. The 

 black and red costal streak which separates the greenish costal [latch on the uudei'side 

 of the hindwings into two parts is broader at the subcostal nervure than in P. wallacei 

 Hew.

Snbmarginal spots of forewings obsolete ; median macular band narrow, chiefly

Spots of the median band as large as in P. wallacei Hew. ; submarginal spots 

 mostly obliterated. Ked costal mark on the underside of the hindwings larger than 

 in P. waUacei Hew., the green mark outside it reduced to a narrow streak or absent ; 

 discal red spots as in P. browni.

In the collection of Messrs. Godman & Salvin is a female from Guadalcanar 

 Island which has the green spot outside the red costal mark on the underside of the 

 hindwings as large as it is in certain examples of P. iroHw/. True intergraduates 

 between P. ivallacei, P. bruivni, and P. kiceluon are not yet discovered.
