into spots, the lower portion entire. There is a costal spot of the same colour 

 near the apex, and a series of small submarginal lunules becoming evanescent 

 towards the anal angle. Posterior wings with a greenish-blue band through 

 the cell continuous with that of the anterior wings, running towards the inner 

 margin, the costal portion being white. A series of six submarginal lunules, 

 those in the apical and anal angles white, the others greenish-blue. 



Underside nearly as above, but much paler ; posterior wings with a short 

 line near the base, and others on the disk, of a rich scarlet, broadly margined 

 with black. 



Fi'inaJc similar, but rather larger. 



Hab. Aola, Guadalcanar Island (C. M. Woodford).

An ally of P. Sarjiedon as to the colour of its -wing-markings, but instead of having a 

 single blue band on the anterior wings broken into sj)ots in a regular cairve towards the apex, the 

 spot below the subcostal nervure is slightly out of line, and above it is another spot close to the 

 costa ; moreover, there is a series of lunate spots parallel to the outer margin as in P. Ettrijpijlus. 



P. SarjJedon in various modified forms occurs over a largo area, including India, Borneo, 

 &c. ; the Moluccas and New Guinea, and under the name of P. Choredon in Australia and New 

 Ireland. It is, therefore, of considerable interest to find so distinct a form intlie Solomon Islands.
