The type, though labelled ' Nouvelle-Irlande ', agrees with the form found in 

 Queensland and the type locality must be taken as Nouvelle-Hollande. The form 

 from the Bismarck Archipelago, to which the name consimilis has generally been 

 applied, is now left nameless and is described below. 



N.E. Australia (Queensland), also^ ' Baudin Is.' [loc. err.]. A long series from 

 the Louisiade Archipelago are generally a little brighter orange on the upper surface 

 but otherwise do not differ and are provisionally placed under this subspecies. 



P. consimilis novahibernica ssp. n. 



(PI. 3, fig- 25) 



o*$ differ from all the other subspecies in that the fore wing upper postdiscal band ends on 

 vein 7 on the upper surface and on vein 9 on the under surface, so that it is well separated 

 from the costa. On the upper surface the orange markings are wide, as in ssp. consimilis. 

 On the under surface much darker than any other subspecies, the shaded part of the fore wing 

 being deep blackish brown ; on the hind wing the greyish postdiscal and submarginal fasciae, 

 which are wavy in all other subspecies, are almost straight and continuous.
