This subspecies has at least tAvo strongly marked A'ariations of the female, which we describe 
below: as Ave have intergrades between the two A-ariations, and also betAveen eacii of them and typical 
female laynina^ we do not regard them as sutTiciently constant to warrant their being named as forms 
of lamina. 
a. 9 . Above. Forewing broAvn-black: termen broadly reddish brown: discal band rej)resented by 
four large spots towards costa, Avhite sometimes dusted blue: a series of small subterminal 
spots, Avhite sometimes dusted blue: terminal spots and line as in male. Hindwing brown- 
black: termen broadly reddish brown: a series of small subterminal spots, while sometimes 
dusted blue: a series of triangular terminal spots, and a terminal line, Avbite. 
Beneatji as in tyi)ical lamina female. 
b. 9. (Fig. 70). Above, Forewing reddish broAvn, toAvards termen paler: a series of subterminal 
spots, Avhite: torminal spots and line as in male but fainter. HindAving reddish brown, towards 
termen much paler: spots as in form a. 
Beneath as in typical male lamina: discal band of forewing absent. 
Form a. corresponds Avith form velleda of typical aliw.ena, and is fairly abundant on Cape York 
and the islands of Torres Straits. Form b. corresponds Avith form jiorphyria of typical alimem: it is 
taken in the same localities as form a, but is not nearly so abundant. 
67b. H. aliniena darwinensis noA'. Fig. 783, 792. 
cf'. Above. Forewing blue-black: a A’ariable discal l)and, AA’ith four large Avhite spots towards costa, 
silky ])Iue: a subterrainal series of spots, Avhite dusted ])lue; a series of small triangular terminal 
spots (two in each area and obscured tow^ards apex), Avhite dusted blue: a faint interrupted terminal 
line, Avhite. HindAving l)lne-black: a A’ariable discal band, silky blue: a series of subterminal spots, 
wliite dusted blue; terminal spots and line as on forewing but much broader. 
Beneath. ForeAving l)lue-black: base and apex broadly broAvn: costal edge of cell with a series of 
three small spots, Avbile edged black: discal band as above but towards dorsum narrower: subter 
minal spots as above; terminal spots and line as above, but broader. PlindAving brown; discal band 
only indicated by a dusting of bluish gi'ey scales: subterminal spots as aboA’e: terminal spots and 
line as aboA’e but larger and confluent. 
9 . Above.^ Forewing brown; a discal bar of four large subai)ical spots, Avbite: a senes of sublerminal 
spots, white; a sei’ies of terminal spots (Iaa’o in eacli area) and a faint interrupted terminal line, white. 
Hmdwing brown Avitli termen much paler: a series of large subterminal spots, Avbite; a series of large 
triangular terminal spots, and an interrupted terminal line, Avhite. 
Beneath. Fore^A’ing as aboA'c, but paler toAvards apex and base: costal spots as in male. Hindwing 
])ale bi'OAvn; faint traces of a discal band, Avhite: subterminal spots and terminal spots and line, as 
above.

Ihe male of this subspecies may be separated from lamina by the four large white discal spots of 
oie\\ing, in genei’al appearance it is \’ery similar to female lamina. The female corresponds to form 
a. ot female lamina, but is much paler, and Avithout any trace of blue scales.

Cf'. Above Forewing brown: discal band indicated only by three faint posteelliilar streaks, cream: a 
senes of faint subterminal s]iots AA*itb those near apex fused, cream: a series of interrupted subter¬ 
minal lines, cream. Hiiuhving broAvn: termen broadly cream Avith veins brown and a narrow terminal 
line, brown.
