  Jlale. 
  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  resemble 
  T. 
  ApoUonitis, 
  Felder, 
  from 
  which 
  

   species 
  it 
  differs 
  as 
  under 
  : 
  the 
  blue 
  area 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  is 
  duller 
  and 
  more 
  

   greenish, 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  is 
  stramineous, 
  and 
  the 
  dark 
  outer-marginal 
  area 
  is 
  

   browner 
  black, 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  outer 
  margins 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  being 
  much 
  

   more 
  broadly 
  brown-black. 
  The 
  cilia 
  are 
  brown, 
  much 
  less 
  distinctly 
  marked 
  

   with 
  white 
  between 
  the 
  veins. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  UNDERSIDE 
  similar 
  differences 
  occur 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  ; 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  is 
  more 
  extended 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  where 
  it 
  

   terminates 
  more 
  acutely, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  blue 
  submarginal 
  band 
  

   is 
  narrower 
  and 
  of 
  more 
  uniform 
  width, 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  spots 
  in 
  it 
  between 
  the 
  

   veins 
  are 
  larger 
  and 
  more 
  extended 
  inwardly, 
  occupying 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  space 
  

   in 
  the 
  blue 
  baud, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  deeper 
  blue 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  Apollonius. 
  

  

  Femalr. 
  The 
  upperside 
  is 
  more 
  fuliginous-broW'n, 
  the 
  dusky 
  pale 
  band 
  

   across 
  both 
  wings 
  being 
  also 
  more 
  fuliginous 
  and 
  obscured 
  ; 
  the 
  cilia 
  on 
  both 
  

   wings 
  are 
  much 
  less 
  distinctly 
  marked 
  with 
  brownish-white 
  between 
  the 
  veins, 
  

   being 
  scarcely 
  visible. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  underside 
  corresponding 
  differences 
  occur, 
  the 
  white 
  bands 
  being 
  

   stramineous, 
  terminating 
  more 
  acutely 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  ; 
  

   the 
  dark 
  area 
  is 
  browner 
  black, 
  and 
  the 
  blue 
  bands 
  deeper 
  blue. 
  The 
  blue 
  

   band 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  is 
  narrower 
  and 
  more 
  uniform 
  in 
  width, 
  with 
  the 
  

   black 
  spots 
  in 
  it 
  larger, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  

  

  Hab. 
  Korrido 
  and 
  Biak, 
  two 
  islands 
  situate 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  Jobi 
  Island. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Collection 
  of 
  the 
  Hon. 
  Walter 
  Rothschild 
  and 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  Grose 
  Smith. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  an 
  insular 
  form 
  of 
  T. 
  Apollonius 
  or 
  T. 
  Philostrafus, 
  Feld., 
  the 
  blue 
  on 
  the 
  upperside 
  of 
  

   which 
  latter 
  species 
  is 
  more 
  pui-ple 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  Apollonius, 
  and 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  which 
  very 
  closely 
  

   resembles 
  T. 
  Hermes.
