Lcpidoptcra from the South Pacific. 265 



dentate, ferruginous, obsolete on costa ; first from below one-fourth 

 of costa to two-fifths of inner margin ; second from three-fourths 

 of costa, curved outwards on upper two-thirds, thence obtusely bent 

 inwards to beneath middle, and again rectangvilarly to inner margin 

 at two-thirds ; cilia ochreous-yellow, tips paler. Hind wings 

 whitish yellowish, becoming whitish on costa, without markings ; 

 cilia whitish yellowish, tips whitish. 



This species agrees well enough with Guenee's de- 

 scription, but as that is in some respects incomplete, I 

 have redescribed it to prevent error. 



Fiji {Mathew, Lm-as) ; two specimens. Guenee's type 

 is stated to be from Australia, but I think this is probably 

 an error, and may be neglected until confirmed.
