Pantoporia consimilis (Boisduval) comb. n. 

 P. consimilis eurygrapha (Fruhstorfer) comb. n. 



Rahinda consimilis eurygrapha Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 268. $ Waigiu. Type Paris. 

 Rahinda consimilis eurygrapha Fruhstorfer ; Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 598. 



Waigiu and Misol Is. A single male from Gebi Is. is similar on the upper 

 surface, but is very pale, with washed-out markings, on the under surface. Examples 

 from extreme N.W. New Guinea (Vogelkop) and from Ron Is. are nearer to this 

 subspecies, under which they are provisionally placed, than to ssp. stenopa. 



P. consimilis mioswara (Talbot) comb. n. 

 Rahinda consimilis mioswara Talbot, 1932 : 164. <J$ Miosvvar Is. Types BMNH. 



Differs from ssp. eurygrapha only in having the outer edge of the fore wing lower 

 postdiscal band indented at vein 3 — a difference which may well prove inconstant 

 in a series. 



Mioswar Is. 



P. consimilis continua (Staudinger) comb. n. 



Neptis consimilis var. continua Staudinger, 1886 : 146. Insel Jobi. 

 Rahinda consimilis continua (Staudinger) Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 598. 



JOBI IS. 



P. consimilis stenopa (Fruhstorfer) comb. n. 



Rahinda consimilis stenopa Fruhstorfer, 1908a : 267. German New Guinea, o*? types Paris. 

 Rahinda consimilis stenopa Fruhstorfer ; Fruhstorfer, 1913 : 598, pi. 125b ' $ ' recte $. 



Some examples from Geelvink Bay are indistinguishable from ssp. continua, 

 but the tendency for the fore wing upper and lower postdiscal bands to unite is less 

 frequent in the eastern part of its distribution area. 



Northern New Guinea (eastern side of Geelvink Bay probably almost as far 

 east as Astrolabe Bay). 



P. consimilis vulcanica ssp. n. 



(PL 3, fig. 23) 



<J$ with wider markings than ssp. stenopa, in appearance almost exactly intermediate between 

 this ssp. and ssp. consimilis, though the markings are generally of the paler and yellower shade 

 of the former. 



Holotype <J. New Guinea (Mandated Territory) : Vulcan Is., xi. 1913-i.
