  Emil

  took 
  one 
  specimen 
  at 
  Lorengau, 
  Manus, 
  on 
  October

   1945. 
  

  

  Notes. 
  — 
  This 
  subspecies 
  differs 
  from 
  P. 
  s. 
  couppii 
  in 
  having 
  much 
  

   more 
  extensive 
  and 
  pure 
  white 
  bands 
  of 
  patches 
  on 
  the 
  forewings, 
  

   and 
  the 
  whole 
  under 
  side 
  is 
  nile 
  blue. 
  

  

  This 
  rather 
  large 
  pale 
  gray 
  butterfly 
  is 
  generally 
  frequent 
  on 
  the 
  

   islands 
  we 
  visited, 
  and 
  we 
  saw 
  it 
  on 
  the 
  slopes 
  of 
  Mount 
  Tjajiac 
  in 
  south 
  

   central 
  Manus. 
  It 
  was 
  most 
  common 
  in 
  brushy 
  country 
  along 
  the 
  

   Drangot 
  River. 
  Its 
  flight 
  is 
  fast, 
  and 
  the 
  insect 
  usually 
  flies 
  along 
  

   the 
  borders 
  of 
  woods 
  from 
  10 
  to 
  20 
  feet 
  above 
  ground. 
  When 
  in 
  the 
  

   air 
  it 
  appears 
  that 
  the 
  wings 
  during 
  the 
  short 
  glides 
  are 
  depressed 
  

   below 
  the 
  horizontal 
  .

  Notes. 
  — 
  Described 
  by 
  Rothschild 
  from 
  a 
  single 
  female 
  from 
  Manus, 
  

   this 
  form 
  differs 
  from 
  related 
  subspecies 
  in 
  its 
  gigantic 
  ocelli.
