surface black, the costal margin in the forewing and the border in both wings brown; the blue marginal band 
in the forewing broad, extending along the border as far as vein 2, in the cell a blue longitudinal streak; basal 
band and marginal band in the hindwing distinct, also the white band narrowly bordered with blue. Waigiu. 
W. ceramicum H. H. Dr. allied to W. subcaeruleum (142 g), the distinct light colouring on both 
sides considerably more extensive and, therefore, the blackish-brown border narrower; on the upper surface 
of the forewing the posterior half of the cell is densely scaled blue. On the under surface the blue colouring 
is more reduced, instead of the marginal band in the forewing there is only a short costal-marginal streak, the 
streak in the cell is absent as well as the blue margining of the light band, the other markings are more narrowly 
and more broadly interrupted. Ceram. 
W. resplendens B.-Bak. upper surface blackish-brown with a broad yellowish band being bordered 
in the forewing anteriorly with a bluish-green streak extending from the base as far as the cell-end. On 
the under surface the white band in the forewing is a little less extensive, in the hindwing distally irre¬ 
gularly and dentately bordered; the posterior part bordered with bluish-green, the bluish-green costal-marginal 
streak broad, turning round before the apex and reaching as far as vein 3. Hindwing behind the middle with 
a green transverse band in which there are 5 black spots; both wings with a bluish-green submarginal band 
interrupted at the veins. Aru Islands.

Closely allied to Thysonotis, vein 11 in the forewing separate as in Waigeum, besides vein 7 plain, without 
any bifurcation, terminating into the apex of the wing. All the species tailed at vein 2 in the hindwing, some 
also at vein 1. Furthermore, in some species the border of the hindwing projects distinctly between the 
veins 2 and 3, whereby the hindwing appears to be somewhat prolonged in a longitudinal direction. Palpi and 
legs are somewhat more slender than in Thysonotis and less densely scaled. 
The colouring is in the <$ above black with a blue reflection, in the $ extensively white with a black border or 
also predominantly black, beneath in both sexes from dark-brown to blackish-brown with ring-shaped marginal 
markings of white in the forewing, whilst in the hindwing they are at least partly blue. Range as in Thysonotis. 
1. Border of the hindwing between the veins 2 and 3 with a lobular projection. 
Ps. antipha Heiv. (142 g). above blackish-brown, the posterior half of the forewing from the base 
to close in front of the border covered with bright iridescent blue scales, behind the cell more or less extensively 
white coloured. The costal margin of the hindwing white, the middle area blue, along the broad black border 
a series of blue triangular markings with enclosed black spots, those between the veins 2 and 3 being the largest. 
Under surface dark brown, lighter than in Ps. humboldti (142 e), the posterior half of the forewing and costal- 
marginal part of the hindwing white, both wings at the cell-end with a whitish spot and along the border with 
a series of black, white-margined spots, the spot between the veins 2 and 3 in the hindwing being larger than 
the others and jet-black, on the posterior half of the wing a series of indistinct, partly distally indented, white 
spots. $ above extensively white with a broad black border, at the bases of the wings of a bright light-blue, 
the blue marginal markings more extensive and more prominent than in the U- Under surface likewise 
more extensively white with a more prominent marginal marking and a distinct white marginal litre which 
in the U only very fine and somewhat indistinct. Aru Islands. 
Ps. ancharia Hew. Allied to Ps. antipha (142 g). Forewing of the U above more extensively blue 
with a narrower black border and without any white colouring, also the white costal-marginal colouring of 
the hindwing less extensive; under surface, however, more extensively white, in the hindwing scarcely the 
distal half dark coloured, the marginal marking particularly in the forewing less distinct. Waigiu. 
Ps. lorquinii Fldr. (142 d). Allied to Ps. antipha . $ above almost velvety-black, the posterior middle 
part of the forewing and the base of the hindwing as far as the cell-end, as well as the rings along the border 
of the hindwing of a bright violettish-blue, the costal margin of the hindwing only to a small extent white. 
Under surface more extensively white than in antipha, the ring-spots at the border of the hindwing prepon¬ 
derantly of a bright blue, also the macular series behind the middle of the wing whitish blue. $ above deep 
blackish-brown, forewing on the posterior half with a white spot being separated from the proximal margin. 
Hindwing like in the only the blue marking less intense, and the blue in the marginal markings beneath 
less predominant. Halmaheira; Aru Islands. 
2. Border of the hindwing uniformly rounded. 
a) Singly tailed species. 
Ps. humboldti H. H. Dr. (142 e). J 1 above bright blue, the black border moderately broad, in the 
hindwing broader than in the forewing, in the middle of the costal margin of the hindwing a broad white spot, 
the anal margin light bluish-grey; along the border a series of blue rings, the posterior ones incomplete. Under 
surface brownish-white with a broad, blackish-brown border, being particularly broad in the hindwing, where 
it occupies almost the distal half of the wing, along the border of both wings a series of white, towards the anal 
angle of the hindwing partly blue rings with blackish-brown pupils; only the largest ring being situate
