  The 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  It 
  

   is 
  orange-yellow 
  bordered 
  with 
  black 
  above, 
  whilst 
  the 
  

   under 
  side 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  H. 
  eucletus. 
  

   The 
  discovery 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  brings 
  our 
  knowledge 
  

   of 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  some 
  2000 
  miles 
  further 
  

   w^estward, 
  as 
  formerly 
  H. 
  p)olycletus, 
  from 
  Timor, 
  was 
  

   the 
  limit 
  in 
  that 
  direction 
  ; 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  curious 
  that 
  

   no 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  the 
  various 
  inter- 
  

   vening 
  localities 
  at 
  which 
  butterflies 
  have 
  been 
  collected.

  In 
  three 
  females 
  we 
  have 
  

   from 
  Thursday 
  Island, 
  the 
  blue 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  

   wings 
  is 
  extended 
  over 
  a 
  greater 
  area 
  than 
  m 
  an}^ 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  from 
  New 
  Guinea. 
  

  

  The 
  3- 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  ? 
  in 
  the 
  much 
  

   more 
  brilliant 
  tbough 
  less 
  extensive 
  blue 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  

   side, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  yellow 
  ground 
  colour 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  

   of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  being 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  suffused 
  with 
  dark 
  

   purplish 
  brown. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  never 
  seen 
  a 
  specimen 
  from 
  Gilolo, 
  but 
  the 
  

   New 
  Guinea 
  insect 
  appears 
  to 
  fit 
  the 
  description, 
  and 
  is 
  

   generally 
  considered 
  identical.
