Babber Island, west of Timor-Laut ; one example. 



There is nothing like it in my collection, but Dr. Jordan 

 tells me it somewhat resembles streaked specimens of 

 A. timorana, Roths. Nov. Zool. iv. p. 349.

Saparua Island ; one pair. 



Allied to A. dor yea, Boisd., which I have from Ke, N. Ire- 

 land, N. Guinea, and Fergusson Islands, but differs in its 

 bright yellow body and has no streaks on its veins and no 

 points extending from the club ; the bands on the abdomen 

 of the female are less pronounced than those in the male.
