costal is situated almost on the outer margin, and then increasing 

 in size, gradually leaves the margin towards anal angle; marginal 

 band represented by a red line, which at anal angle is internally 

 bordered with black and externally by metallic green, light brown 

 and then black on margin. Cilia brown at tips of nervules, at 

 anal angle black. 



9. 17-lS mm. (17). Shape much as in ^, but apex less acute 

 and projections of hindwing longer. 



U p p e r s i d e. — Foreioijig black, with costa at base dark grey, 

 basal third of wing light blue, more extended along inner margin, 

 outer half of cell white, which extends downwards and outwards, 

 sometimes reaching below 1st median; end of cell usually marked 

 with bright blue which sometimes extends quite round the white 

 patch. Cilia brown. Hindwing greyish-black, with a variable 

 blue suffusion extending over cell, sometimes beyond. Cilia 

 brown, lighter at anal angle. 



Underside as in ^, usually lighter, with wdiite patch of 

 forewing showing through. 



This species has usually been known in Australia as //. ej)i- 

 cletus, but Druce considers it distinct. However, this and the 

 preceding species, together with M. hy}-)odetus^ Oberth., are pro- 

 bably only geographical forms of M. j)olycletu8, Linn. 



Loc. — Ivockhampton to Cooktown (^ 4, 9 3). 



Druce records this species from Port Macquarie and Richmond 

 River, N.S.W., erroneousl}^ I think, since it appears to be essen- 

 tially a tropical species; and my own collections from the Rich- 

 mond River were made at all times of the year and do not 

 include it.

Miskin's description was made from a single specimen (9) in 



very poor condition. The type is now in the Queensland Museum, 



but in much worse condition and is hardly recognisable. It is to 



be hoped, therefore, that some northern entomologist will succeed
