is undeveloped in debilis. British and Dutch New Guinea. — solida Pi out is brighter and more opaque green, sollda. 
with the markings still slighter. Rossel Island. 
P. limpida Prout is considerably larger than the two preceding (34 mm), of a similar translucent blue limpida. 
green to jragilis but still paler, distinguished by having almost straight green bands on the forewing, the 
single band of the hindwing Bent nearly as in rudipunctata (12 c), the cell-dot in both wings very small, dark- 
green. Founded on a single ^ from Ceram. 
P. venata Prout (4h). This species and the following are distinguished by the dark green lines and venata. 
cell-marks; venata further by having the veins darkened. Mount Goliath. 
P. deviata Prout. Considerably smaller than vena to, the post median of the forewing rather less oblique deviata. 
but forming a slight inward curve, the cell-marks reduced to dots, etc. Taken with venata. 
P. convergens Warr. (13 c). Entirely different in colour, in the acutely produced apex, the very obli- convergens. 
que line, etc. Face white, palpus red, forewing with a very fine red terminal line anteriorly and posteriorly, 
at apex forming a more conspicuous spot. Biagi, British New Guinea. 
P. oxybeles Prout (4 i). Much more yellow-green then convergens, without the oblique line, but with some oxybeles. 
red dots near base, an outer row of small vein-dots, some red spots on abdomen and a rosy suffusion over the 
underside except at its margins. Mount Goliath. 
P. rhodocosma Meyr. (13 d). A pretty and very distinct species, the marginal markings recalling a rhodocos- 
Comibanena or still more its American representative Racheospila. The red lines vary much in development, ma ' 
but are always present at the hindmargins. New South Wales, Queensland, North Territory and West Australia. 
P. bicolor Warr. (4 1) is the only known species with the lines thus coloured (fuscous and ochreous). bicolor. 
British and Dutch New Guinea. 
P. latistriga Warr. (4 k). Markings similar but whitish, the antemedian present on both wings, though latisiriga. 
very slender, the postmedian less oblique than in bicolor. British and Dutch New Guinea. 
P. rudipunctata Prout (12 c) differs from latistriga in the ThalassodesAike form of the postmedian of rudipunc- 
the hindwing. The cell-marks are generally enlarged, slightly elongate. Mount Kunupi, Weyland Mountains, tata ' 
Dutch New Guinea. 
P. punctilligera Warr. (13 d). Forewing with the margins more rounded, duller green, with the dis- punctilli- 
cocellulars dull reddish, marked with small blackish cell-dots, the lines scarcely discernible. Abdomen with Q era - 
a yellowish dorsal line. Owen Stanley Range. 
P. indentilinea Warr. Similar in shape to nonyma, but much yellower green (brighter than punctilligera) indentili- 
(13 d). Abdomen similarly marked. A red stripe across crown of head. Cell-dots large, dark mixed with red- nea - 
brown, and with slight red-brown extension along discocellulars anteriorly. Antemedian of forewing not den¬ 
tate ; postmedian much more distally placed anteriorly than posteriorly, running suddenly inward from M 2 to 
fold. Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains only the type known. 
P. nonyma Prout (= eichhorni Prout, nom. praeocc.). In shape similar to a rather broad-wingecl Tlialas- nonyma. 
sodes. Green, a little less bluish and a little less dense than in latistriga, the cell-clots obsolete, the white 
lines very fine, dentate, the postmeclian of the hindwing outbent at the 3rd radial and 1st median; terminal 
line fine, red-brown; fringes cream-buff. Abdomen with a yellow dorsal line. New Ireland. 
P. discata Warr. (4 i). Unmistakable on account of the ample, almost circular red-brown bordering of discata. 
the black cell-spots. British and Dutch New Guinea. 
P. angulilinea Warr. Similar in shape and colour to nonyma or somewhat more vivid. Chiefly dif- angulilinea. 
ferent in the lines, which are stronger and are not dentate; antemedian of fore wing angled outward in middle, 
of hindwing slender, straight and oblique; postmedian of forewing straight, parallel with distal margin, 
of hindwing outbent at the same position as in nonyma. Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains. 
P. rufimargo Warr (4 i) differs from discata in its bright yellow-green colour, bright red occiput, red rufimargo. 
costal streak, light red distal border (triangularly widening at the veins), rather broader and less dentate 
lines and red cell-dots; that of the hindwing is simple. Found with the preceding species. 
P. perpolluta Prout (4 i, as perpalluta). Recognizable by the chocolate-coloured clouding in the me- perpolluta. 
clian area of the forewing, though this varies greatly in extent. Dutch and British New Guinea. — poeessa poeessa. 
subsp. nov. is rather large (37 mm) much more vivid yellow-green, the yellow line of the abdomen broadened, 
the fringes brighter yellow, the lines of the forewing with very little dark edging; the cell-spots are nearly as
