5. A. Wildei, n. sp. 
$ Upperside. — Light, slightly lilacine, blue ; outer borders of both 
wings somewhat narrowly, but distinctly, margined with black; 
costal borders of primaries suffused with black ; abdominal border 
of secondaries light brown. 
Underside. — Silvery white, with light greyish brown borders, short 
bands and spots. Primaries : Costa bordered somewhat narrowly ; 
outer border the same, with darker spots in it ; a sub-basal spot, a 
larger central one, and an elongate one beyond, all within cell ; a 
sub-apical diagonal band of four spots ; two round spots, one above 
the other, towards hinder angle, well in from outer border ; most of 
the spots showing a ring of white by reason of a slight greyish area 
surrounding them. Secondaries : The spots rather less pronounced 
than in primaries ; some brown suffusion at base ; a sub-basal row of 
three spots ; two larger beyond, the upper and largest almost 
touching costa ; a circular row just beyond the last from costa to 
abdominal margin, rather indistinct ; another circular row from near 
apex, where it commences with a long oblong patch, the size of the 
spots gradually decreasing, some little distance from and continuing 
nearly parallel with outer border to some distance up abdominal 
margin ; outer margin increasing in width as it approaches anal 
angle, and then narrowing off again to about halfway up abdominal 
margin is bordered with light grey -brown, but not sharply defined ; 
inside this border a sub-marginal line of crescent-shaped marks ; a 
round black spot at anal angle ; above this a white sub-marginal line 
extending some little distance up abdominal margin. 
$ Upperside. — Primaries : Base, costal and outer margins widely 
black ; hind margin narrowly black ; rest of wing white ; base 
slightly suffused with blue. Secondaries : Base black, slightly 
suffused with blue, costa narrowly black ; outer margin black, widest 
at anal angle, the black extending into the wing along the veins ; rest 
of wing white. 
Underside. — As in $ . 
Thorax and abdomen, both sexes, above black, beneath light grey. 
Ex. : $ 40 mm. ; ? 38 mm. 
Hab. : Cairns. Coll. : Queensland Museum. 
This remarkably characteristic species is represented by a single specimen 
of each sex, recently captured by the Museum collector (Mr. Wilde) at 
Cairns, both in a rather worn and broken condition. That such a 
conspicuously distinct insect as this should have been hitherto 
unknown shows how much has yet to be done before a thorough 
knowledge of our Rhopalocerous fauna has been achieved.
