1^ .B. — From the description of amethystina Sn. v. Voll. I can 

 find no characters to separate it from jastuosa Gerst. , so cannot 

 include it in above table. 



Pt. quadridentata Fab., 1805. 

 Sys. Antl., 86. 



Fabricius describes the 5 only. 



In his Ausser. Zweifl., ii, 59 _, Wiedemann gives a better and 

 longer description of both sexes. This species is generally dis- 

 tributed in the East : Malacca, Singapore, Amboina, Sumatra, 

 Philippine and Aru Islands, Djokjokarta (Java), Makessar (Celebes), 

 Papua. 



Pt. jastuosa Gerst., 1857. 



I/inn. Kntom., xi, 332. 



{smaragdina Sn. v. Voll.) 



Gerstaecker described it from a 9 from Ceylon. Schiner re- 

 cords 3 'b 'b from Tellschong (Nicobar Islands) which agree well 

 with the species, and Meijere received 2 ? ? from Mafiokwari 

 (Papua) taken at the end of May. 



Pt. smaragdifera Wlk., 1859. 

 Pr. Linn. So., iv, 94.

 are included in the Indian Museum Collection. 



Pt. smaragdina Wlk., 1849. 



List Dip. Br. Mus., iii, 525. 



Ceylon, Celebes, Philippine Islands. Osten Sacken examined a 

 series of 30 from Celebes, 3 from Ternate, 3 from Papua and i from 

 Amboina, thinking Pt. amethystina Sn. v. Voll. the same species ; 

 he added, " In 2 9 9 from Amboina and Papua, the greater part of 

 the anal cell, and a portion of the 4th posterior are almost hyaline, 

 while the interval between the anal cell and the costal margin is 

 much darker brown than the distal half of the wing." 



Pt. amethystina Sn. v. Voll., 1858. 



Tijd. V. Knt., i, 92. 



Java, Celebes, Philippine Islands. Three of each sex from 

 the PhiHppine Islands are referred by Osten Sacken to this species ; 

 which he thought hardly to be separated from smaragdina Sn. v.
