The Butterflies of this genus are entirely, — with the exception 

 of 2\ schaeffera, which occurs in the Oriental region, — conhjied to 

 the Indo-Australian region, and the genus is appai-ently most 

 liighly developed in New Guinea and the adjacent islands and the 

 northern parts of Queensland, and is inclined to diniiuish Loth in 

 size and in brilliancy more towards the Western limits of its range 

 than towards the Eastern. 



The danis and wallucei groups are found only in what may be 

 called the headquarters, the scliaejfi-ra group occurring on the 

 Eastern and Western limits only ; the tuijfjetus group occupies the 

 whole range of islands and X. Australia ; whilst the cyanea group, 

 again, is best represented at headquarters. 



The following Table is intended to show the various localities 

 froui which each species has been recorded : —
