to vein 8. Hindwing with a costal, brown basal streak being posteriorly bordered with a bluish green, a large 
brown spot above the cell enclosing 2 bluish-green transverse spots, and a brown spot at the apex; on the 
middle part of the wing 3 irregular, brown macular bands, being the most intense in the middle and here narrowly 
bordered with bluish-green; submarginal spots in the brown apical spot and on the posterior half of the border 
being coloured brown between vein 4 and the anal angle. On both sides of vein 2 are large, red, cuneiform spots. 
2 above blackish-brown, both wings with a dull blue basal spot extending beyond the cell-end. Under surface 
like in the the brown marking somewhat lighter, the bluish-green marking and the submarginal spots more 
distinct. Aru Islands, Waigiu, New Guinea (Milne Bay). 
H. felderi Oberth. ( 144 h) is allied to arronica, somewhat larger, above darker blue, the narrow black felderi. 
border at the apex unnoticeably broader; ground-colour of the under surface darker, in the forewing brown, 
in the hindwing reddish, the markings reddish-brown and a little broader. Jobi. 
H. honora Gr.-Sm. S- Upper surface similar as in arronica Flclr. (144 h), darker bluish-violet, apex honora. 
of the forewing considerably less produced, marginal scales black, not spotted white; apex in the forewing 
very broad, costal and distal margins, as well as the distal margin in the hindwing narrower black. Beneath 
the species differs from arronica by the following marks: basal and costal-marginal area in the forewing olive- 
brown, the metallic markings more extensive and green golden black; the distal, light half of the wing is some¬ 
what darker, the submarginal spots are smaller and more uniform; the 3 bright red basal bands in the hindwing 
not interrupted, the space between greenish-golden, not white; the large cuneiform spots in front of the green 
submarginal line on both sides of vein 2 not red. New Hannover. 
H. meeki B. & J. above black, both wings with a lustrous blue basal spot extending in the meeki. 
forewing anteriorly to the middle of the cell, behind the cell as far as in front of the margin, in the hindwing 
as far as the cell-end. Under surface cinnamon-brown, the posterior half of the forewing lighter grey with 
a black postcellular spot growing broader from the base; the metallic markings silvery blue or greenish, in the 
forewing 2 longitudinal streaks, below the costal margin and in the cell, some spots behind the cell-end, apost- 
discal row of spots, and 5 submar^inal spots dotted blackish inside. Hindwings with a number of dark cinnamon- 
brown spots arranged to 4 irregular transverse bands and on both sides bordered with a silvery greenish colour, 
distinctly contrasting with the lighter ground of the wing; the silvery submarginal spots streak-shaped, only 
at the veins interrupted. British New Guinea. 
H. calliphon Gr.-Sm. (144 h). J bright light blue, costal margin, apex and distal margin black, the calliphon. 
black apical colouring very broad, extending almost to the cell-end; in the hindwing a broad costal margin 
and a narrow distal-marginal border likewise black, the proximal margin brownish-grev. Under surface dark 
brown, in the forewing the basal part of the costal margin as far as the posterior margin of the cell, a spot at 
the apex, and a narrow distal-marginal border ochreous-yellow; 2 longitudinal stripes in the broad costal- 
marginal area, a discal spot bordered with black, 6 confluent spots, arranged in pairs and likewise bordered 
with black, at the beginning of the distal half of the costal margin, as well as a series of submarginal spots 
at the yellow distal-marginal border are greenish-blue; behind the cell 2 blackish spots. Hindwing likewise 
with a narrow yellow border and a dark, indistinct arcuate postmedian band; from the base to the cell-end 
a number of partly irregular, dark red transverse bands leaving free the proximal margin and bordered with 
a greenish blue; only the somewhat darker transverse spot at the cell-end is on both sides bordered with blackish; 
the yellow marginal border is proximally accompanied by a broad, lustrous bluish-green band narrowly bordered 
on both sides with black. $ above lighter blue than the <$, the black border narrower and scarcely broader 
at the apex of the forewing; under surface also lighter than in the the lustrous blue markings more extensive. 
New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
H. chrysanthis Fldr. (145 a). The largest species known of the genus. $ above bright reddish-yellow, chrysanthis. 
forewing at the apex blackened as far as beyond the middle of the distal margin, the dark colouring very much 
narrowed, extending to the end of the 1st third of the costal margin, the proximal margin likewise bordered 
with black, the most broadly so at the anal angle; hindwing with a broad black costal-marginal band forming 
a tooth-like continuation from the middle posteriorly, and a black submarginal band on the posterior half; 
the yellow marginal scales at the projecting ends of veins 1 to 4 black. Under surface brownish-red, forewing 
lighter at the inner-marginal part, before the anal angle with a black spot, on the anterior half with silvery 
blue markings: 2 longitudinal streaks proceeding from the base, below the costa and at the anterior margin 
of the cell, the anterior one twice interrupted before the middle of the wing, a transverse spot at the cell-end, 
2 postdiscal rows of spots between the veins 4 and 7; as well as 5 submarginal spots. Hindwings with a costal 
blue basal streak bordered with black, and 4 whitish-yellow macular bands bordered with blue and black, 2 
antemedian and 2 postmedian ones, as well as a similar spot at the cell-end; the violettish-blue submarginal 
streak is proximally bordered with black. Amboina. 
H. chrysargyria Sm. & Ky. (145 b). U above bright orange-red. Forewings with a broad black chrysargy- 
costal- and distal-marginal border, the broadest at the apex; at the base in the black costal-marginal border rm - 
a short red streak. Hindwing of a somewhat darker tinge than the forewing, with a grey inner-marginal area 
and a row of black submarginal sj^ots extending from the anal angle to vein 6; the veins partly scaled blackish. 
Under surface of a brown ground-colour, forewing with a large, ochreous-yellow spot in the middle of the proxi¬ 
mal margin, with a lustrous green basal band coloured black at the proximal margin, and a broad green discal 
band extending to the yellow inner-marginal spot, above which the costal margin is likewise coloured yellow;
