between the veins 2 and 3 in the hindwing is black-pupilled; between the veins 1 and 2 in both wings 2 small 
rings. $ above white with a broader black border than the also the costal margin of the forewing black; 
the bases of both wings and the distal margin of the white colouring scaled light blue; the blue spots at the 
border of the hindwing distally accompanied by a white marginal line. Under surface as in the <$, the 
rings at the border larger and more distinct. New Guinea (Humboldt Bay, Stephansort). 
Ps. metilia Fruhst. The differs from Ps. humboldti above by the discally brightened forewings and metilia. 
the lighter blue of the hindwings. The white costal-marginal spot of the hindwing is long and uniformly broad, 
the submarginal moonspots are more indistinct and enclose smaller black punctiform spots. Beneath the black 
border in the forewing is much broader, the submarginal moonspots are greatly reduced. Hindwings as far 
as beyond the middle black, the white and blue moonspots likewise greatly reduced. Fergusson. 
Ps. obiana Fruhst. forewings above bluish-violet with a very broad, black inner-marginal border, obiana. 
the middle all white with a fine blue tint; hindwings with a light metallic-blue reflection, the veins broadly 
scaled black, the white-blue submarginal spots with distinct, jet-black pupils. Under surface similar to 
that of Ps. metilia , the white postmedian band in the hindwing more distinctly prominent and the moonspots 
more developed. Obi. 
Ps. florinda Gr. Sm. S above bright blue with a broad black margin of the wings and black veins; florinda. 
the distal margin of the blue area in the hindwing dentate at the veins; the tail broader than in the other species. 
Under surface deep blackish-brown with a broad, white band with a slight brownish-grey touch, being in 
the hindwing of a uniform width, whilst in the fore wing it begins somewhat narrower at the inner-margin 
and grows continually narrower anteriorly as far as vein 6. The rings at the border of the hindwing large 
and distinct, of a silvery blue, coherent, the black spots large; the three posterior ones smaller. Salomon 
Islands (Guadalcanar). — pagenstecheri Pibbe 142 h) from the Bismarck archipelago (New Pomerania) differs payen- 
by a somewhat lighter blue and a narrower black margin above and by exhibiting a large white spot at the 
costal margin and at the base of the inner margin in the hindwing, and besides by the white band of the forewing 
beneath extending a little more anteriorly. 
Ps. schneideri Pibbe (142 h). above dark slate-blue, forewings narrowly, hindwings broadly bor- schneideri. 
dered with white, and at the costal margin and the basal half of the inner margin white-coloured. Under 
surface with a joint broad white band, the forewing with a short white basal streak and an interrupted white 
submarginal line, the bluish-green rings of the marginal band in the hindwing distally bordered with white. 
$ above black with a broad white band like on the under surface of the the bases of both wings slightly blue- 
scaled, along the border of the hindwing a series of indistinct, bluish spots. New Pomerania. 
Ps. (?) critala Fldr. (142 h). $ above blue with a broad blackish-brown margin of the wings, in the critala. 
hindwing along the posterior part of the border with a series of white-blue spots. Beneath blackish-brown 
with a broad, joint, whitish band, hindwing with a broad, greenish-blue, black-spotted marginal band, similar 
as in Thysonotis. Ceram, Amboina. The position of the species is doubtful. 
b) Doubly tailed species. 
Ps. danis Fldr. $ above black with a narrow, joint white band extending in the forewing beyond danis. 
vein 4; hindwing doubly tailed, along the posterior half of the border with 3 blue, distally rectilinearly defined 
ring-markings and a white marginal-line. Under surface blackish-brown, the white band very broad, with a 
slight yellowish touch, the blue rings form a distinct marginal band extending in the forewing as far as vein 
6, whilst in the hindwing it grows much broader towards the anal margin and is separated from the white median 
streak by a light-blue dentate line. Halmaheira. 
Ps. milo Gr. Sm. (144 e, f). Allied to Ps. danis Fldr., smaller, the hindwings above without any sub- milo. 
marginal spots. $ above black with a broad, white band extending in the forewing as far as near vein 5. 
Hindwing with 2 short, small tails and a fine white marginal line. Under surface blackish-brown, the band 
extending a little more anteriorly, along the posterior part of the border a row of silvery blue moonspots, hind¬ 
wings with fine black-pupilled rings, above the two hindmost smaller rings a V-shaped black line, another black 
line along the distal half of the border. $ above and beneath with a broader white band, the submarginal markings 
beneath of a brighter blue, in the hindwing distally accompanied by a white marginal line. New Ireland. 
Ps. turneri Waterh. Allied to Ps. danis Fldr., $ above with a more extensive white band, but both wings turn&ri. 
still very broadly bordered with black, with a narrow white marginal line, the hindwing at the anal margin 
with 2 large, cuneiform black spots being distally margined with white, proximally with light-blue, the other 
blue marginal markings but quite faintly indicated. On the under surface the white colouring exhibits a yellow¬ 
ish touch, the blue marginal markings are more prominent. $ essentially like the <$, the small tails shorter. 
Queensland. 
Ps. derpiha Hew. <$ above blackish-brown with a broad, joint, white band, hindwing in the somewhat derpiha. 
lobularly projecting, posterior part of the border with 2 oval, black, white-margined spots. Beneath with
