350 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera from Lifii, 



Readily distinguished from all its allies by its pale colour- 

 ing and the punctiform character of all the white spots of 

 primaries. It seems to be a common and perfectly constant 

 species. 



Sattminje, Bates. 



Melanitis, Fabricius. 



6. Melanitis Solandra^ Fabricius. 



Common, and exhibiting three marked variations of pattern 

 in the coloration of the under surface. 



Nympsalin^, Bates. 

 Charaxes, Ochsenheimer. 



7. Charaxes clitarchus, Hewitson. 



Previously known from New Caledonia and Mard. The 

 present is the only really fairly perfect example that has yet 

 been seen. 



JuNONiA, Hiibner. 

 8. Junonia villida^ Fabricius. 

 Common. 



Diadem A, Fabricius. 



9. Diadema, nerina^ Fabricius. 



In addition to tire typical form there are two female varie- 

 ties — one in which the orange internal patch of primaries is 

 replaced by a small pale brownish spot, and the pale submar- 

 ginal spots have almost died out, the other a modification of 

 the normal variety D.proserjpina^ Cramer, tending to approach 

 D. jyallescens ; of the latter I only found one example, which 

 may therefore possibly be a cross between D. nerina and D. 

 jpallescens. 



10. Diadema jyallescens^ Butler. 

 Evidently rare in Lifu, its head quarters seem to be Fiji. 



11. Diadema octocula $ , Butler. 



Two examples of what appeared to be this insect : but I 

 saw them with the wings closed ; so that they may be refer-
