Lcpidopterafmm the Soiitli Pacific. 251 



margiued with dark fiiscous, from costa before three-fourths, in 

 male broadly ciu-ved inwards in middle, in female indented, almost 

 touching hind margin above anal angle, widely broken inwards to 

 beneath central white spot, thence continued to inner margin at 

 three-fourths ; cilia grey, with a dark grey line, sometimes with a 

 white or yellowish spot above anal angle. Hind wings dark 

 fuscous, towards base mixed with whitish or yellowish ; a discal 

 spot outlined with darker at one-third, followed by a clear white 

 spot, more conspicuous in female, and connected with inner 

 margin before anal angle by a straight whitish or yellowish line, 

 anteriorly darker-margined ; a twice sinuate whitish or yellowish line 

 from two-thirds of costa to before middle of hind margin, anteriorly 

 darker-margined ; cilia grey, between middle of hind margin and 

 anal angle whitish or yellowish, with a dark grey basal line, 

 interrupted on extremity of second Une. 



The colour varies somewhat locally, the specimens 

 from the Eilice Islands being considerably yellower than 

 others, but certainly not distinct. The form of wing in 

 the sexes is very different; but one male in the collection 

 of Mr. Mathew has exactly the ordinary form of wing of 

 the female, whilst in every other characteristic appa- 

 rently a true male ; this is a very singular abnormality, 

 presumably rare. 



NewHebrides, Fiji, Tonga, andEllice Islands (Mathew) ; 

 common. According to Wallengren also from Tahiti. 



Although Wallengren's species was described from a 

 female, and very briefly, I think there is no reason to 

 doubt its correct identification. Felder's figure is, I feel 

 almost sure, intended to apply to this species, but it is 

 quoted with a query, since the lines are distinctly wrong 

 in form.
