by himself on the island of Ugi. It differs from this speci- 

 men in having the discal band of the primaries completely 

 severed, the costal portion being concentrated in a patch 

 beyond the cell ; the rest of this band consists of four spots 

 placed close to the outer margin instead of at some distance 

 from it. In other respects the two species are very much 

 alike.

Alis nigricantibus, fascia discali ultra collulam ad marginem 

 internum extensa venis nigris partita lactescenti-alba, margine 

 externo punctis ejusdemcoloris inter venas notato ; posticis fascia 

 transversa a costa per celluUc fiuem ad marginem internum 

 ducta, margine suo iuterno fere recto, externo dimidio costali pro- 

 funde serrato lactescenti-alba, macula parva coloris ejusdem ad 

 lobulum analem, margine externo unduloso, ad finem veniB 

 mediana3 sensim producto, inter venas omnes albido notato : 

 subtus purpureo-nigris ; anticis maculis quatuor ultra cellulam 

 atomisquejiaucis submarginalibus ad angulum analem sordidealbis ; 

 posticis fascia transversa discali maculosa sordide alba maculisque 

 atomosis extra eam cajruleo-albis, iis inter ramos medianos maxi- 

 mis, maculis submarginalibus iudistinctis sordide albis, ca ad 

 lobulum analem maxima et introrsum fulvo lavata. Exp. 5'8 in.

 sordide alba, fascia posticarum quoque sordida.

As the discal band of the secondaries does not follow the 

 costal margin, this species resembles P. A^y-s/tine/ and P. ptoly- 

 chus ; but the position of this band and the absence of a red 

 spot on the anal lobe at once show its complete distinctness. 

 Mr. Woodford's collection contains several examples from 

 both of the above-named islands.

A single damaged specimen from this locality evidently 

 belongs to a species distinct both from P. codrus and its near 

 ally P. papuensisj and also from the New-Ireland P. segonax. 

 The secondaries are a good deal broken, so that we cannot 

 trace their form. There is a second specimen from Alu
