(J ¥ . There is a good deal of individual variation in this species as regards 

 colour and size. It is not always an easy matter to distinguish certain individuals 

 from rq/f/t'si . Some Papuan specimens are fully as vinaceous as rafflesi on the 

 wings and body ; but also here the first palpal segment is paler and does not show 

 the white line so well. A baud or patcii on the upperside of the forewiug uear 

 hinder angle beyond lines o or 6 is in western individuals often somewhat ucliraceous, 

 in eastern specimens, however, mostly as reddish as in mauy raffiesi. 



S ■ Tenth segment as in rafflesi, but the apical hook of the sternitc obvinusly 

 longer (PI. LVIII. f. :.':). Process of harpe (PI. LII. f 20) stout, rounded at end, 

 with a long dorso-apical tooth curved towards the clasper. Penis-fnuuel elongate- 

 triiiugular ; penis-sheath as in ru/f/csi^'hwi the row of teeth on the left side with 

 more teeth, which are either simple or divided. 



¥ . Edges of vaginal apei-ture less raised than in rafflesi. 



Larva witb a large eye-spot on segment 4, the eye-spots on the fiillowiiig 

 segments gradually smaller ; much less regular than in rajflcsi, often vestigial ; 

 horn short, pale.

(? J. This is a variable insect. The markings of tiie forewiug are often very 

 Iiroininent, while in other individuals the lines are vestigial and the median liiiiul 

 widened, being straight prnxinuiUy and gradually shading oif distally : the jxistiliscal 

 intersjiaces R'-^— SM- are not rarely rufous. The base of the iiindwing is sometimes 

 idackish. The genital armature varies in detail, but this variation does nol 

 corresjiond to that of the wings. E.xtreme individuals have the ai)iiearance of 

 belonging to distinct species. The variation is not local. However, there is a 



form in (,»llcensland which we have not seen IV tinr localities. Tins Ibrin is 



rather pale, has the forewiug sharj.ly marked, does nut jiossess a white mesial 

 stripe on the th..ra.\, and has the white lateral stripe of the head and thora.x shaded 

 with vinaceous ; in structure it agrees with the form which has the white mesial 

 stripe oft!,,. ili(,ra.\. The two forms occur together in t.iiieensliuid ; tliey have

 have been sent \u this c(jimtry as Johanna, by the collector who bred Ihcni.
