base to a little beyond the middle. Hindwing brown, with white 

 cilia. 



Underside as in the male. Expanse, ^ 25 mm. ; 9 25-30 mm. 



Felder's type was from Amboina. I have not been able to see 

 a specimen from that locality, but Miskin himself considered his 

 species synonymic with Felder's, so I allow Felder's name to stand. 

 It may be that our insect is not identical with the Amboina 

 species, as I find Mr. Grose Smith has described a species, 

 Holochila nitens* from N. Queensland If this is the case, P. 

 innotatus has certain priority, and P. nitens must sink if it is, as 

 I think, the same insect as the one under consideration. My 

 specimens from Cape York agree very well with the figure of the 

 male of P. yiitens, and they are not markedly different from 

 Cairns or Brisbane specimens. 



Loc. — Richmond River, N.S.W. (G.A.W.) to Cape York, Q.
