Wings more elongate, and ujiper wings more pointed, than in P. PerautJiiis. 



Above l:)lack, the basal half of a silvery l)lue, greenish towards the base of the costa, 

 and purplish on the outer margin, Avhere on the lower wings it shades oiF into separate 

 scales. On the submedian and two loAver branches of the median nervure are elongate 

 black cottony patches as in P. Ulysses, the lower ones joined at the base, the upper one 

 separate ; above these the outer margin is of a brown black, with a few atoms of yellow 

 and blue scales towards the apex ; the blue colour extends beyond the discoidal cell of 

 the upper wings in a line parallel with the outer margin, on the lower wings it rounds 

 away to the anal angle, and below it are five submarginal lunules of blue atoms, tlie 

 outer one almost obsolete, and that next the tail largest and most deeply coloured. 

 Thorax and body green. 



Beneath as in P. Peranthus, but the posterior range of lunules margined with bril- 

 liant blue and orange brown. 



Expanse of wings 3ir inches. 



Hab. Timor (J) {Wall).

P. Peranthus, var. A, Boisd. Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 204. 



Above : basal half of the wings of a rich green-blue, the rest black, Avith a triangular 

 patch at the apex of the uppers, formed of green atoms situated between the nervures ; 

 on the lower wings six large submarginal lunules, the lowest of which sends out some 

 green atoms along the tail. The black cottony spot is of a different form from that of 

 P. Peranthus, the separate patches being only joined in the middle, and two of them 

 extending along the nervu.res in a point nearly to the discoidal cell. 



Beneath brilliantly marked with lunules of buff, black, and blue. 



Expanse of wings 4-|-5 inches. 



Hab. Moluccas [Wall). 



Bemarks. — My specimen from Ceram is of a greener tinge, and the colour extends a 

 little beyond the end of the discoidal cell ; that from Batchian is smaller, of a bhier 

 tinge, and the colour of less extent. The species seems to be very rare.
