Exp. 2|~3i inches. 



Upperside pale green and black. Anterior wings with the basal two- 

 thirds pale green, tinged with yellow towards the base, with four broad, black 

 l)ars running from the eosta, which is edged with a black line ; the first very 

 near the base, and extending quite across the wing ; the second extending to 

 the snljmedian nervure, where it is truncated ; the third only continued below 

 the median nervure l)y a long oval spot ; the fourth ceasing at the median 

 nervure. Apical third black, with a narrow green stripe just iM'yond the end 

 of the cell, and a submarginal green stripe, divided bv the nervures. and ceasiuii; 

 before reaching the inner margin. 



Posterior wings still paler green, with the sub-basal black bar of the 

 anterior wings continued across the cell, but then fading out. Hind margin 

 with a broad black border, marked with a series of slender white lunules, partly 

 connected towards the anal angle. Tails long, black, edged with white, as are 

 also the incisions. 



Underside. Anterior wings nearly as above, but the lighter part is of a 

 more or less yellowish green, and the submarginal streak is broader and more 

 continuous. Posterior wings of a yellowish green towards the base, with the 

 two basal l)ands of the anterior wings continued for three-quarters of their 

 length, and then uniting. The second is intersected by an orange streak near 

 the costa, and by a yellowish-green stripe, connected above with the ground- 

 colour, about the middle of the wing. The outer portion of this stripe is also 

 markpd here and there with a few orange scales. Below the junction of the 

 Inmds is a curved row of three orange spots, separated by the nervures, the 

 innermost very near the hind margin. A black border, with whitish lunules, 

 partly connected towards the anal angle. The inner portion is somewhat 

 dusted with greenish. Body black, paler beneath, sides of the thorax yellow. 



Hal). New Britain and New Ireland. 



lu the Collections of Messrs. Grodman and Salvin. and of H. Grose Smitb, but very rare, as 

 ill the many collections from those Islands received by Mr. Grose Smith there have been only two 

 sj> 'cimens, and Messrs. Godman and Salvin possess, it is believed, only one specimen. 



Allied to P. Parmiiiiiii, Gray, but differs iu the orange markings of the uuder-surface of the 

 posterior wings.
