2 . From Kapaur, with posterior wings and abdomen 

 creamy orange or sulphur colour ; anterior wings with 

 spots a moderate size, white, and much scaled. 



O. URVILLIANA. 



2 2 . From Alu, Shortland Islands. Very large, and 

 darker than those from Rendova. <? with cell of pos- 

 terior wing filled in by black ; and shining hairs from the 

 base flow over this black. 



2 . From Rendova ; fumous brown and pale brown on 

 both surfaces. 



2 2 of Urvilliana collected by Captain Webster at 

 Kei Toeal, with buff or white marks ; sometimes all 

 buff marks ; the cell almost entirely buff. Most of these 

 examples are very large. One <? has the posterior wing 

 with the cell green toward the base mingled with black ; 

 black near the costa, with green streaks, and an orange 

 spot. A 2 from Salawatti with small cell spots — the 

 cell itself a rich creamy orange-yellow on both surfaces. 



O. CRCESUS. 



S . From Batjan ; with much green on the posterior 

 wing mingled irregularly with the orange ; but in O. 

 Lydius 2 2 there is very little variation. 



yETH. VICTORIA. 



$ . From Guadalcanar with body creamy-white yellow 

 towards the anal end ; the basal mark black, a faint smoky 

 orange longitudinal stripe down three of the segments, 

 with two black lateral divided stripes, and subdorsal 

 central black stripe ; the abdominal fringe ochraceous 

 white, the undersurface creamy white. 



$ . Anterior wing, with upper part of the cell rich 

 azure blue, melting into the green. Abdomen or body 

 creamy orange white, and nearly obsolete black spots ; 

 from Guadalcanar. 2 of Victoria? from Florida Isle, 

 with the cell marks nearly entirely white. Small examples 

 of the same sex brown black ; some still smaller, light 

 brown. 



Var. Regis $ . Anterior wings with a large green yellow 

 apical patch ; posterior wing very blue green ; the cell 

 with much black. From Maleita. A s from Bougain- 

 ville light brown, with the cell spot very large. <? $ from 

 Ysabel Island, with an apical yellow patch, a more or less 

 sized black spot between the 5th subcostal and 1st dis- 

 cocellular nervules, and some examples without these spots. 

 The 2 2 vary in their anterior cell macula : in some the 

 spot is entire and large ; in others it is divided more or 

 less towards the basal end. 



P. HELENA, v. PAPUANUS. 



2 . Very large. Anterior wing with distal half of the 

 cell and a large proportion of the disc white ; posterior 

 wing yellow ; undersurface all buff colour ; from Stephan- 

 sort. 2 . Anterior wing buff-white, posterior wing buff- 

 orange. 



2 . The anterior wings with a very large area of 

 creamy white. From New Guinea. 



P. HELENA, v. CELEBENSIS. 



2 . All light marks buff-tinted on both surfaces. From 

 Salayer. A buff-tinted 2 differs from the preceding in 

 having an extra spot above the 3rd median vein, and a 

 larger submarginal light mark. From Banda. 



P. HELENA. Type Form. 



A 2 from Bouru with anterior wing nearly occupied 

 with white. 



T. BROOKEANA. 



2 . From Borneo ; with 4 white subapical marks 

 between the 3rd and 5th costal nervules and the dis- 

 coidal and 1st median nervule ; the green marks slightly 

 white outwardly. 



2 . From Sarawak ; the white portions less vivid. 

 The undersurface of anterior wing with submarginal 

 white marks leaf-like ; the discal golden green marks are 

 tinted to an intense ultramarine blue at the base. 



$ . With pronotal red collar very wide. 



2 . Sarawak ; more golden green. $ . From Labuan 

 also ; very golden green, with the small maculae very 

 close together. A S from the same locality, with the 

 discal band parallel to the median vein, golden green ; 

 on the underside of the anterior wing, very regular in 

 width, and the base of the lowest mark blue ; a richer 

 blue in an example from Sumatra. The uariety albescens, 

 with the green marks longer and narrower, and extending 

 nearly to the median nervure. The body is a lighter 

 brown than usual. 



<? . The underside of the anterior wing of 3 examples 

 with very bright golden green marks, with small white 

 submarginal spots separated and rather purple ; posterior 

 wings, with submarginal double lunate discal blue-grey 

 lenticula marks ; from Perak and Malacca. 



P. HALIPHRON, V. PISTOR. 



$ . Anterior wings with the light adnervular rays, 

 except the submedian, narrow and obscure. Posterior 

 wings with the yellow area green-tinted, rather more 

 extensive than in Naias, but similar in outline ; the yellow 

 at the distal end of the cell a little less extensive than in 

 Naias ; abdomen dark fuscous brown ; the undersurface 

 of the anterior wings with the light rays purer. From 

 Kalao. 



P. NAIAS, VAR. SOCRATES. 



$ . Anterior wings rich violet black. Undersurface of 

 the cell white over the distal half, but obscurely close to 

 the veins. Underside of posterior wings with the yellow 

 area tinted emerald. From Sumbawa. Examples from 

 Tambora, Sumbawa do not practically differ from the 

 foregoing.
