15. Pafilio inopinatus, Butler, loc. sup. cit. 



Allied to P. admstus of Felder, from Ceram and N. Guinea; hut the 

 male with a broad oblique subapical white belt, wliich docs not quite 

 reach the onter margin and is cut by the black nervures; the fascia on 

 the secondaries narrower, formed more nearly as in the Anstralian 

 P. cegeusy with zigzag outer edge, but of more uniform width throughout 

 than in that species, and of a sordid cream-colour; a scarlet spot near 

 the anal angle, well separated from the central fascia. The female differs 

 in the whiter and obliqiic belt across tlie primaries, the inner edge of 

 which is not so deeply zi^'zag, and therefore is rot angulated as in the 

 allied species, and the outer half towards apex suffui^ed with grey so as 

 greatly to reduce its width; secondaries with no trace of the central 

 white patch, the submarginal scarlet spot large, oblong, and notched in 

 front. Expanse of wings, $ 14i mm., $ 153 mm.

 impinged upon by the discoidal cell, which also encloses a spot of the 

 same colour as the band; the band of the secondaries bioadcr, cutting 

 across the end of the cell. Expanse of wings 132 mm.
