longipalpis Kirsch has a pure white band on both wings in the <$. The $ is trimorphic: in §-f. brujni Oberth. longipalpU 
( = doreana Swinh., cynaspes Druce) (1 f) the bands are white as in the <$; in $-f. prochyta Druce (1 f) the 
band of the forewing is white and that of the hindwing yellow to orange; and in $-f. longipalpis Kirsch (If) 
the band is yellowish orange on the forewing and reddish orange on the hindwing. In the $ as well as the va¬ 
rious ^-forms the band of the forewing touches the cell, but does not extend to the base of the lower median 
vein; the band of the hindwing is nearly always broader than the black basal area, longipalpis occurs in the 
northern districts of New Guinea from Waigeu to the Astrolabe Bay and extends in Dutch New Guinea south¬ 
ward to Kapaur (Onin peninsula); the above-mentioned $ from Aru belongs also to this subspecies. I have 
before me only two $-forms from the neighbourhood of the Astrolabe Bay, $-f. prochyta not having been 
received from there by us. On the other hand, we have qK with an orange band on both wings which are said 
to be from the Astrolabe Bay. However, in the collections sent to Europe from Kaiser Wilhelms Land the Lepi- 
doptera from the faunistically very different northern (Astrolabe Bay) and eastern (Huon Gulf) districts 
are so frequently mixed up that one cannot rely on the indications of the locality. If the occurrence of orange- 
banded $ at the Astrolabe Bay should be corroborated, the species would be purely dimorphic in that district 
(<$ and $ inf. brujni with white bands and in f. longipalpis with orange bands). — huonis Roths, is monomorphic. huonis. 
The band of the forewing is yellowish orange, narrow and reaches to the costal edge; that of the hindwing is 
reddish orange, narrower than the black basal area, and beneath usually extends to the costal vein. From 
Simbang, at the Huon Gulf, to the South-East corner of British New Guinea (Milne Bay). — On the neighbouring 
islands of the d’Entrecasteaux group and on St. Aignan (Louisiades) occurs the likewise monomorphic meeki mecki. 
Roths. (1 e), which differs from huonis only in the bands being rather paler and the black border of the hindwing 
on the whole narrower. The numerous specimens before me vary somewhat in the size of the bands, but not 
in their tone of colour. — diversa R. <b J. While hi the preceding forms the band of the forewing is separated diversa. 
from the base of the lower median vein by a black interspace, the band has a more proximal position in di¬ 
versa, being extended to the base of the lower median vein and entering the apex of the cell. Both bands 
vary considerably in length and breadth; that of the hindwing is rarely as broad as the black area, being often 
abbreviated and sometimes absent. According to the colouring we distinguish four forms: f. leucotaenia leucotaenia. 
form, nov., both bands white in <$ and $; f. diversa R. & J. (2 b), band of q and $ pure white on forewing, 
orange-red on hindwing; f. calida form. nov. (2 b), band of and $ yellowish orange on forewing, orange- calida. 
red on hindwing; f. hemigrapha form, nov., one $ known (d'J of this form surely also occur), band wliite hemigrapha 
on forewing, absent on hindwing, being represented on the upperside in the unique specimen by a few white 
scales. In one of the <$$ of f- diversa the band of the hindwing is very strongly reduced, especially on the under¬ 
side, where it is obsolete apart from a spot situated distally of the lower angle of cell and some dispersed scales 
between this spot and the abdominal margin. We have f. diversa and f. calida from the Owen-Stanley 
Mts. in British New Guinea and the Snow Mts. in the adjacent district of Dutch New Guinea, but f. 
leucotaenia and f. hemigrapha only from the Snow Mts.—-As yet no representative of this genus is known 
from North Queensland. — tyrianthina Butt. $ '■ The band of the forewing is white and reduced to a discal tyrianthina 
spot which touches the cell, is less oblique to the veins than in longipalpis, reaches from radial 1 to the submedian 
fold and is pointed anteriorly. Band of hindwing enlarged to a round patch which is only 3 mm distant from the 
base. Abdominal segment 7 (<$) yellow with the exception of a narrow dorsal smear. New Mecklenburg (= New 
Ireland), one <$ in the British Museum. 
I. cyanea Roths. (2 b). Glossy blue; head and palpi with white markings; apex of abdomen orange- cyunea. 
red. — On the island of Biak in the Geelvink Bay, Dutch New Guinea. 
I. celebensis. Black, head and upperside of thorax with white stripes; apex of abdomen not orange; 
coxae and femora of fore legs yellow, the others greyish yellow. Forewing with an orange-yellow oblique band 
distally of the cell extending from the costa to the hind angle, but not reaching the margins of the wing; between 
base and band blue oblique spots. Frons with a distinct raised ring. Only 5$ are known. Celebes. — heydeni heydeni. 
Pagenst. Fringes of hindwing more or less strongly variegated with black. North Celebes, in Mus. Sencken-

collections.

the cell, extending from the costal margin towards the hind angle, posteriorly rounded on the outer side. Body 
with a rather strong blue gloss; head with a conspicuous white collar, which is interrupted beneath. Palpi 
black, long, with a very small white spot on the upperside of segment 1; apex of abdomen not orange. Hind¬ 
wing of B without fold and radiating hair on the lower submedian vein. — Solomon Islands; before 
me from Bougainville, Choiseul, Isabel and Florida, collected by A. S. Meek in January, April, June—July,
