Imago. —Male and female. Upperside similar to A. Demotion , but differs, 
on the forewing, in all the spots, composing the transverse discal pale sulphur- 
yellow band, being distinctly separated from one another, and are somewhat 
smaller in the female. On the hindwing the pale sulphur-yellow band is placed 
farther from the base, with its outer edge extending beyond the cell; the 
sub marginal lunules are somewhat larger and have more acute outer points. 
Underside similar to Demotion , but with the same differences in the band, on 
both wings, as on the upperside, and on the hind wing the discal black patches 
between the veins are shorter.

Life History.-— 44 On the 2nd of August we w r ere on the very peak of Goodlmlly 
Hill, when one of us noticed a P. Liomedon flying suspiciously round a tree in very 
thick jungle. This was a tempting butterfly, but with a painful effort of self-control 
the net was laid down and the butterfly patiently tracked until, after wearisome 
vacillation, it settled on a tender shoot of Acronychia iaurifolia. It remained settled 
for a long time, and then flew off altogether, leaving ten eggs, laid one on top of the 
other, as shown on the pi cite. On the 7th of August the caterpillars emerged, and, to 
minimize risk, were divided between three glass tubes, tightly corked. On August 
10th a gust of wind blew one of the tubes off the table and three of the caterpillars 
perished, but the remaining seven throve and were in due time transferred to a 
branch standing in a bottle of water. The mouth of the bottle was plugged with 
cotton wool, but two of them forced their way in and committed suicide. By a 
prompt use of the means recommended by the Humane Society for the restoration of 
persons apparently drowned, one was revived, but continued weakly, and was soon
