d ? . The prominent grey costal snbapical patoh of the forewing, with the 

 grey streak R' behind, and the sharply defined distal border of the hindwing, 

 distinguish this western form easily from all the species with which it occurs 

 together.

 jioints distad, and a number of teeth at and near the proximal edge.

c??. On the whole smaller than the preceding; distal margin of forewing 

 shorter ; underside of body and wings more grey, middle of breast more whitisli ; 

 grey colour of njiperside of forewing also more prominent, the antemediau lines 

 resp. band mostly less oblique, often contiguous in middle with the first discal line, 

 grey postdiscal line at the distal side of the grey snbapical costal patch prominent, 

 dentate at SC, the double patch distally of this line more rufous. 



Width of marginal band of hindwing fairly constant in Queensland examples ; 

 the band rather narrower in the individuals from the Louisiade Archipelago and 

 the d'Eutrecasteaux Islands. 



S. Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVI. f. 25) variable in dentition, sometimes 

 mnltidentate upon the surface and at the distal (not proximal) edge, sometimes 

 only with a few prominent basal teeth at the distal edge. Harpe (PI. L. f 45) 

 shorter than in the jireceding subspecies.
