or almost entirely fills up the apex of the cell and in the $ the part of the apex of the cell which is not blue 
fruhstorferi. is much narrower than the band. — In fruhstorferi Bob., from South Celebes, the band of the forewing is placed 
at some distance from the apex of the cell, so that basally to the lower radial its distal margin enters the cell 
and the black apical part of the cell is at least half as broad as the band; moreover in both sexes the light distal 
area of the forewing beneath is broader and the basal area of both wings more thickly dusted with yellowish. In

margin scaled with green; forewing with lighter green, densely scaled discal band, which is interrupted by a very 
large pilose patch, the green scaling sparse distally to the anterior part of the green band which is placed at 
the apex of the cell; hindwing with broad, light green discal band and submarginal spots of the same colour.

P. peranthus. About a third or the half of both wings bluish green, this metallic area never reaching beyond 
the apex of the cell of the forewing, before the distal margin of the forewing a green band, which is very broad 
anteriorly and strongly narrowed posteriorly. The pilose stripes of the J mostly confluent, never all completely 
separated, as at least the stripe placed on the submedian fold is united with the lower median. The $ paler than 
the especially in the distal part of the under surface, the metallic area mostly somewhat darker blue. The

green submarginal band of the forewing anteriorly as broad as the black discal band or broader; the green basal 
area reaches to or nearly to the anterior angle of the cell. In the $ the green scaling of the submarginal area of 
the forewing above is very sparse. The inner margin of the pale submarginal area of the forewing beneath is mostly 
transiens. placed basally to the subcostal fork. Java. — transiens Fruhst. (= kinesias Fruhst., fannius Fruhst., phoebus Fruhst.). 
The green area somewhat less extended than in peranthus, hence the black discal band of the forewing broader; 
as in Javan specimens the green submarginal band of the $ reaches only to the 1. median, rarely a green sub- 
marginal spot is indicated below this vein. The light distal band of the forewing beneath is placed distally to 
the fork of the subcostal. Bali to Alor; specimens are before me from Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Larentula,

and bluer than in transiens and peranthus ; the submarginal band of the forewing in the ^ distinctly green to the 
submedian and in the continued to the 2. median or even to the submedian; anteriorly this band is usually

described by Hagen; in these the blue-green basal area only reaches to the anterior angle of the cell of the fore¬ 
wing; the green submarginal band is much narrower anteriorly than the black discal band and its green scaling does 
not extend below 7 the lower median; the costal and anal spots of the hindwing beneath are large and pale yellow, 
and, in the only well preserved specimen, appear also on the upper surface; the very light inner margin of the 
pale distal area of the forewing beneath is placed outside the furcation of the subcostal and before the middle

the forewing more curved and the distal margin more strongly emarginate than in the preceding forms. In the £ 
the green-blue basal area reaches on the forewing not quite to the upper median and on the hindwing to the apex 
of the cell and in the $ it is even somewhat more reduced, the pilose stripes broadly confluent, the green sub¬ 
marginal band narrower than the black discal band; the upper surface of the hindwing almost entirely without 
green submarginal spots, especially in the <J. The grey discal band on the underside of the forewing is approximated 
to the cell, its inner margin crosses the stalk of the subcostal fork about halfway between fork and cell. In the

(= macedon Wall.). A large form with long, falcate forewing and long, broad-tailed hindwing. The greenish 
blue basal area reaches on the forewing about to the lower median and does not quite fill up the cell of the hind¬ 
wing, the green submarginal band is very broad and in many examples from North Celebes broader than in most 
of the specimens from the south of the island; the grey discal band of the forewing beneath is broad and extends 
nearly to the cell. The pilose stripe on the 1. median is mostly isolated and in many specimens the stripe on the 
submedian is absent. The $ very similar to the <$, the basal area somewhat less densely scaled and the under
