(??. The distribution of this subspecies is extensive ; the area occupied includes 

 the Solomon Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago. We cannot find any difference 

 between the few individuals from those localities and Queensland e.xamples. 

 Pagenstecher's belinda, of which we have the type, must sink as a synonym. 

 J/, errana is very variable as regards some of the markings, bnt the prominent 

 grey flush is always present upon the upperside of the forewing and abdomen ; the 

 dark dorsal spots of the latter are well marked, the yellow band of the hindwing 

 is broad, with the outer edge straight, the denticulate postdiscal grey-bordered line 

 of the forewing is conspicuous, the triangular area of the mesothoracic tegula 

 bordered in front by an obli(iue line is more or less obviously russet, always well
