o . With only 3 black spots on hind wings, the 3rd 

 very small. The body less orange yellow. Under sides 

 of wings like a large Richmondia; opposite the light very 

 yellow green ; against the light dark blue green. A very 

 distinct variety. Length of costa 77 mm. Hab. Cape 

 York. In Brit. Museum. 



2 . On the Plate 26 devoted to the 2 2 of this species, 

 figs. 1, 2, represent a fairly abnormal example from the 

 Coll. in Mr. F. Horniman's Museum. Hab. unknown. 

 The colour of the wings is much warmer than in some 

 specimens, both in the browns and yellows : while the 

 white marks are much darker than usual on the upper 

 sides of the Primaries. The abdomen appears to be 

 unclouded, dorsally and laterally. The shape of the white 

 mark in the upper discoidal cell, is large, continuous, and 

 approaches more the outline of that in a ? Aniana, or of 

 a Pronomus. Length of costa 94 ; width of front 

 wing 54 mm. ; length of hind wing 67, width 45 mm. ; 

 length of abdomen or antennae 35 mm. ; of thorax with 

 head 22 mm. ; width of thorax 12 mm.

In figs. 3 and 4, the sordid appearance of the white 

 marks on the upper surface of the Primaries is produced 

 by a multitude of dark atoms scattered on the grey, and 

 graduated from the outer margin till they are lost. On the 

 under sides these atoms are not present, and the marks 

 are nearly pure white. On the Secondaries the accumi- 

 nate marks are a dull speckled ochre below the enclosed 

 black spots, and white specked with dark atoms above ; 

 the under surfaces are purer white, and a rich yellow, 

 without atoms. The Primaries are slighly shot with 

 green, and the whole ground work of the wings is of the 

 darkest black brown. The white discoidal mark is, one 

 half above partly divided, lower part again divided entirely 

 into 2 small longitudinal nearly parallel spots. A differ- 

 ence may be also observed between the marks of the 

 superior wings of figs. 3 and 1. Those on the upper surfaces 

 of the wings of the former being so much the longest and 

 most perfect. The thorax is very villose, with the central 

 ray golden green, instead greenish golden as in fig. 1. 

 The red on sides of breast reaches half-way to the upper 

 part of the pronotum ; the eyes margined with white ; 

 abdomen sordid white with rufous suffusion towards the 

 anal valves, which are a darker, or brownish rufous ; 

 dorsal pale smoky brown stripe ; subdorsal warm lemon 

 yellow ; and the subdorsal segments strongly accentuated 

 with black. Thorax warm brown, legs black ; eyes very 

 dark brown. Length of costa same as in fig. 1.

2 . Upper sides of all the wings very black brown with 

 faint reflections of brown olive mostly on the Primaries. 

 The patch in the disc, cell like that in fig. 1 ; remaining 

 marks nearly in shape and relative size like those in fig. 3. 

 The yellow of the under wing near the costa very rich ; 

 the spots enclosed by white on the under wings larger in 

 proportion than those in either of the figs, of my plate ; 

 abdomen very smoky brown except the last 2 segments, 

 where the sides are suffused with yellow scalps. The 

 under side only differs in colour intensity, which is greater 

 in the yellow, and slightly less in the black. Length of 

 costa 83, width of upper wing 44, length of hind wing 

 54, width 37 mm. ; of antennae 30 mm.

In the Coll. of 



A 2 in the British Museum from Cape York, has very 

 dark Primaries. There is also in the same collection a 

 large dark variety from Lizard Island, sparsely marked, 

 especially on the upper wings, which appears to be a 

 local form intermediate between Cassandra and Rich- 

 mondia, with a likeness to the 2 of P. Crcesus, which we 

 must deal with later on. 



I give, for comparison of the shapes assumed by the 

 upper discocellular spots the following figs. : — Fig. 1. In
