efflorescence of the greens, especially in the lower cell and 

 beneath. The form of the upper discoidal green patch is 

 more compact, and there are 2 golden yellow dots on the 

 upper parts of the Secondaries midway of the black spots 

 and the border. Length of costa g5 mm.

Fig. 5 of the same plate gives a front view of the head 

 of the S much enlarged, with the haustellum as it 

 appeared rolled up. The latter, in another plate will be 

 characteristically drawn. Figs, xa and 36, represent the 

 exact shape of the sericeous brown patch of each specimen. 



Plate xb, figs. 3, 4 exhibit portraits of a much lighter 

 var. of the 2 of this species, with the abdomen more 

 green, and the Thoracic stripe olive green. The 

 Pseudoneura are more strongly marked ; the oval oblong 

 spots within the white marks of the Secondaries above 

 are lighter, with darker and well defined centres : the 

 outer borders on both surfaces darker, on the under side 

 reflecting white efflorescence. The white on the under 

 side of the same wings much purer ; the base of all the 

 wings less dark on both surfaces, and the brown of the 

 thorax on under side lighter. The shape of the spots on 

 the upper wings differ also considerably.

A <? in the Hewitson Coll. is, on the underside of the 

 Secondaries between all the nervules dusted with rich 

 umber or ferruginous atoms, most densely between the 

 costal nervure and 1st sub-costal nervule, and the 2nd 

 sub-costal and the discoidal nervules. The cell is only 

 slightly affected. On the Primaries, under side, the 1st 

 and 3rd green patches are also dusted, graduating down- 

 wards into a rich golden green. This is altogether a 

 remarkable variety. The upper side does not differ from 



the ordinary appearance. Length of costa 93 mm. Hab. 

 Amboina and Ceram. 



The corresponding 2 is of a warm umber brown, very 

 rich in tone : the spots on the upper side not very large, 

 and differ very little from those on the wings of Brit. Mus. 

 specimens, except that the white outer marginal spots 

 on the Primaries form an uninterrupted curved line, and 

 the white mark between the 1st and 2nd discoidal nervules 

 is divided equally by brown into 2 cmadrade spots ; and a 

 faint indication of a white atomic ray is on the upper side 

 of the discoidal cell, following the direction of the central 

 of the Pseudoneura. The abdomen is ochreous drab white.

Cramer figures a S with the 4 black spots ; and with 2 

 golden dots, and a large golden of Costa coloured Indian 

 red. The same beneath. On the thorax are 3 green spots 

 triangularly placed, (a mistaken idea of the shape of the 

 central stripe). The colouring is very dead and unnatural. 

 The costal band of Primary is not very particular to exact 

 form, neither are the original bands of green. However 

 there is little doubt that his fig. represents the typical 

 form of the $ Priamus. 



2 . Hab. Ceram. In Brit. Museum. Discoidal cell 

 with a small white spot two-thirds from the base ; re- 

 peated on the under side, rather larger. All the wings 

 are lighter than in the Amboyna specimens. Length of 

 costa 98 mm. An Amboina specimen has a costal length 

 of 108 mm; and a S , locality not given, 86 mm.: a 

 Ceram specimen has the same expanse. 



The largest 2 I have known had a costal length of 

 112 mm. ; or an expanse of gj inches for the whole insect. 



The 2 figured in Dr. Fickert's paper contains a small 

 wedge-shaped white spot in the cell of the upper wings, 

 repeated on the under side.
