posterior nasal in contact vvitli the single pra30cular ; two post- 

 oculars ; temporals 2 + 2, first lower very large and wedged 

 in between the fifth and sixth labials ; six upper labials, 

 third and fourth entering the eye, third, fourth, and fiftii equal 

 in depth. Scales in 25 rows on the neck, in 19 on the body, 

 Vontrals 223; anal divided; subcaudals GO, mostly single, 

 only the 9 last divided. Dark brown above, with irregular 

 yellowish blotches ; a yellowish vertebral streak on the nape ; 

 sides and lower parts yellowish. 



Total length 450 millim. ; tail Q5. 



A young specimen from Queensland, locality unknown, 

 for which I am indebted to my friend Prof. R. Collett. 



This species differs from P. papuanus, Ptrs. & D^r., to 

 which it is most nearly related, in the narrower frontal shield, 

 the equal de])th of the third, fourth, and fifth labials, and the 

 small number of divided subcaudals.

$. Antenna?, palpi, head, thorax, and fore wings black, 

 palpi with a wdiite band on first and third joints; face with a 

 white spot on each side in front, a white spot between the 

 antennse, and four white spots on the front of thorax ; abdo- 

 men ochreous yellow, with black segmental bands, which are 

 broadest above : fore wings with two ochrcous-white trans- 

 verse bands — the first from the subcostal vein across the 

 middle of the cell, extending downwards nearly to vein 1, the 

 second across the disk from near the costa one third from apex 

 to near outer margin above the hinder angle; also from two 

 to four subapical white dots j in the nine examples before me 

 these bands vary more or less, some being nearly even and 

 some sinuated : the hind wing is reddish orange, with black 

 basal, costal, and outer marginal bands, the outer band 

 attenuated towards the anal angle and its inner margin 

 sinuous; in the middle of the costa there is a knob-shaped 

 production inwards ; a short thick black band from the abdo- 

 minal margin, above the angle, connected by two black lines 

 with the marginal band, two white dots on the apical portion 

 of the marginal black band, sometimes three, sometimes none 

 at all.
