Figs. 5 and 50, in author's collection. Hab. unknown. 



Figs. 6 and 6a, also in the author's collection. Hab. 

 Qaeensland. It will be therefore seen that we here have 

 a very representative series by which to enable us to re- 

 cognise the species. 



It may be added that the depth and extent of the black 

 cloudings on the abdomen of different examples varies 

 greatly, as does the character of the yellow, or from a rich 

 lemon to orange. 



Mr. Butler, in " The Cruise of the Curacoa among the 

 S. Sea Islands," p. 474, describes and figures a $ , giving 

 an indication in chromolithography of the brilliant play of 

 golden orange reflection on the green ; but the printer 

 has exaggerated them, and they are not sufficiently 

 natural. The sericeous patch is too prominent also. 

 The locality of the specimen was Queensland. It is now 

 in the Coll. of the Brit. Museum. 



Localities of specimens examined by Dr. Fickert were 

 Port Denison, Bowen, and Herbert River, Middle 

 Australia.
