Hah. — Waidoi, biji, two specimens caught by Jlr. Simmonds, Nov., 1910; Ba 

 Mts., Fiji, two specimens caught by Mr. L. V. Waterhouse, .Jan., 1906. 



This subspecies has a much yellower appearance than any specimens from 

 the large number I have from both within and without Australia. Mr. Simmonds' 

 specimens are in fine condition, and he writes that on a trip in Fiji, he saw this 

 skipper in company with a number of Parata hiluriata. Between 6 and 7.30 a.m. 

 numbers of skippers were seen passing the boat ; the morning was wet, the wind 

 oflE shore, and the distance Ijetween two and four miles.
