dark mark ; the rest of the abdomen ochraceous yellow- 

 white, shading off into lemon yellow, more ochreous 

 towards the anal segment ; subdorsal a rich orange 

 yellow, with the articulations strongly defined by black 

 and almost obsolete lateral black dots. The fringe of 

 the anal valves and last subdorsal articulation fairly long 

 and thick, and golden orange. 



When viewed very obliquely against the light the whole 

 of the green and golden-green of the $ anterior wings 

 and the green of the posterior is seen as a rich fiery red 

 orange, as intense as in 0. Lydius of Felder.

In Staudinger's figures of S. Paradisea, 6" , the 4th 

 discocellular nervule is a broader black than in my types ; 

 the black abdominal margin is also a little broader On 

 the under surface of the 2nd discoidal nervule is a 

 black mark across the veins which passes a little into the 

 cell ; also a little more black in the divisions in the upper 

 part of the cell. 



Habitat : Sattleberg or Saddleberg,* Finistere Moun- 

 tains, German New Guinea. " Finisterre-Gebirge nach 

 Konstantinhafen brachte — S. German New Guinea." — 

 Discovered by Herr Kubary. 



An example of the $ , rather smaller than the one 

 figured in this work, is in the possession of the Hon. 

 Walter Rothschild, to whom I am indebted for the plea- 

 sure of describing and figuring this most wonderful species. 

 As will be seen by the bibliography at the head of this 

 article the species was previously described and figured 

 by Staudinger and Pachenstecher in their respective 

 journals.
