part beyond the cell more extensively scaled grey, the postdiscal band of reddish-yellow moon-spots shorter 
and more remote from the distal margin; at the anterior and posterior margin of the cell a silvery-green longi¬ 
tudinal streak, the black discal spot distally bordered by a silvery-green spot, at the middle one by a transverse 
row formed by 3 spots; the equally coloured submarginal spots at the interior margin dotted black and outside 
bordered with black; the dots between the veins 2 and 4 considerably larger than the others. In the hindwing 
the silvery-green transverse streaks and spots are broader than in protogenes, the spaces between of a bright 
brownish-yellow, not red; at the cell-end 2 distinct black spots next to each other. Corrido. 
H. siren Gr.-Sm. (144 h). <$ above deep blackish-brown, forewing at the proximal margin with a 
distinct, broad, brilliant blue longitudinal streak bordered by the cell and vein 2 and extending from the base 
as far as two thirds of the length of the wing; hindwing with an iridescent reddishblue spot covering the cell 
and a part of the space situate beyond and behind it. Under surface of the forewing dark greyish-brown, in 
the cell a yellowish-red longitudinal streak proceeding from the base and passing over at the cell-end into an 
equally coloured discal streak extending anteriorly almost to the costal margin, which is here likewise coloured 
yellowish-red; the longitudinal streak on both sides bordered with a bright metallic green, next to the discal 
streak, being at first narrowly bordered with black, likewise a green spot; behind it a narrow, distinct postdiscal 
band composed of 4 coherent yellowish-red moon-spots bordered with black, at its prolongation at the costal 
margin some green and yellow spots; border rather broad reddish-yellow, inside accompanied by metallic 
green submarginal spots likewise bordered with black on the inside. Hinclwings with bright reddish-yellow, 
anteriorly coherent transverse bands bordered with black, the spaces between golden green; costal margin 
with a short, reddish-yellow basal streak, the border the same, the golden green submarginal spots almost 
forming a continuous band, on both sides narrowly bordered with black. Gani. 
H. hermogenes Gr.-Sm. (144 h). $ above reddish-violet, the costal margin in the forewing broadly, the 
distal margin in both wings and the costal margin in the hindwing narrowly bordered with blackish-brown. Under 
surface brownish ash-coloured, forewing at the costal- and distal-marginal parts more brownish-yellow, at the 
anterior margin of the cell a yellowish-red longitudinal streak proceeding from the base, behind the cell-end a 
similar one turning posteriorly round in a right angle, sending forth in the middle a short continuation posteriorly 
and being on both sides narrowly bordered with a metallic bluish-green; a somewhat lighter, narrow postdiscal 
band not reaching the costal margin nor proximal margin, along the border a series of metallic submarginal 
spots inside narrowly bordered with a reddish yellow and dotted black, below the costal margin behind the 
middle of the wing likewise some metallic spots. Hindwing of a somewhat darker ground-colour than the forewing, 
with 5 parallel, narrow, light red transverse bands bordered with a metallic bluish-green, and with bluish-green 
submarginal spots proximally bordered with reddish-yellow, and a reddish-yellow border. German New Guinea 
(Humboldt Bay). 
H. cleon Gr.-Sm. (145 a). $ above dark brown with white marginal scales being spotted dark in 
the hind wing, the proximal half of the forewing as far as a little beyond the middle of the wing, and the basal 
half of the hindwing lustrous light blue. Under surface: forewings light brownish-yellow, the inner-marginal 
part grey, behind the cell a series of blackish-brown longitudinal spots and behind them a blackish-brown 
transverse streak extending to the proximal margin; at the costal margin, above its cell and at its posterior 
margin a metallic bluish-green longitudinal streak, a similar short discal streak, and on the distal half of the 
wing below the costal margin a number of green spots, the submarginal spots the same; before the apex a 
triangular white spot; above and below the base of vein 2 a dark spot, the former with a yellow pupil. The 
costal basal streak, and 6 partly incomplete narrow transverse streaks of a bright red, the most exterior one 
parallel to the border, extending from the costal margin to the proximal margin, all of them bordered with 
a lustrous bluish-green; only in the 5th band the distal border is absent ; ground-colour between the bands 
grey, bet ween the 3rd and 4th band darkened, a costal-marginal spot behind the 3rd band and a larger discal spot 
behind the 5th band are white; distal margin narrowly bordered with yellow. British New Guinea (Milne Bay). 
H. cleonides Gr.-Sm. (145 a). $ above very similar to H. cleon Gr.-Sm., the blue basal and the brown 
marginal colouring somewhat darker; marginal scales in the hindwing without any dark spots. Under surface 
in the forewing somewhat lighter than in cleon, more reddish-yellow, the darker spots behind the middle hazy, 
at the base of vein 2 only one blackish spot; the red bands of the hindwings very much like in cleon, somewhat 
more regular and more complete, the fifth band also distally bordered with green, but in the 6th band the 
proximal border is absent ; ground-colour light greyish-brown, on the middle not darkened, between the 3rd 
and 4th band a white costal-marginal spot; the 4th and 6th band are contingent at the costal margin, between 
this place and the anterior end of the short 5th band likewise a white spot which, however, does not extend 
to the distal margin of the 5th band. British New Guinea (Milne Bay). 
H. arroniea Fldr. (144 h). $ above dull violettish-blue. Apex of the forewing as far as the base and 
the anal angle broadly black. Hindwing with a black costal margin and a narrow black border. Under surface 
white with a brown and light silvery-blue marking. Costal margin of the forewing broad light red-brown, the 
border at the apex as far as vein 2the same, proceeding from the base 3 lustrous longitudinal streaks, the posterior 
one turning round posteriorly in the shape of a hook on the middle of the cell, behind it a semi-circular bluish- 
green marking enclosing a white spot, at the cell-end a dark discal spot being distally bordered with black, 
behind the cell, below the costal margin some bluish-green spots and then a narrow brown postdiscal band being 
distally expanded to a spot between the veins 4 and 5; the bluish-green submarginal spots arch-shaped, extending
