$ . — In British Museum, ex. Godman and Salvin col- 

 lection, very light orange ; viewed obliquely, emerald or 

 olive green. Underside of the hind wings very emerald 

 green, with golden orange marks. Hab. Batchian. <? 

 very red orange ; underside of hind wings much lighter 

 green; the darks are dark brown, very like Lydius. ? ? . 

 The cell marks very varied, one with three divisions, one 

 with four, and one with the mark very irregular and 

 sinuate in form. Hab. Batchian (or Batjan : the correct 

 Dutch spelling). Wallace's example. 



$ . — In the museum of Mr. H. Grose-Smith, a bred 

 specimen (from Staiidinger) is smaller than are the Wal- 

 lace specimens ; and the orange areas are very light 

 golden lemon ; on the posterior wings the area of the disc 

 outside the golden orange patches, and around that of the 

 cell has a delicate greenish tint, as intensely golden 

 emerald green when viewed obliquely as in 0. Aruana. 

 Opposite the light the two wings become very richly 



orange ; the dark portion of the wings are warm dark 

 brown towards the outer margin, and enclose the light 

 red-brown velvety stigma ; the longitudinal thoracic mark 

 is a metallic emerald green. The under surface of the 

 wings closely reminds one of that of 0. Cassandra save for 

 the broad, subcostal band, and the interior marginal area 

 of orange green almost enclosing the internal nervure from 

 the base ; there is no other trace of orange on the wing. 

 In the Wallacean specimens a faint submarginal band of 

 orange atoms is often found extending from the inner 

 margin and running parallel with part of the outer margin. 



The bred specimens of the 6* of this species appear to 

 be always smaller and less deep orange than are those 

 that have been captured in their own habitat. [See 

 PI. 13.] 



Length of the costa of this example, 75 mms. ; of the 

 costa of fig. 2, pi. 13, 83 mms. The latter is from Batjan.
