  Only 
  the 
  female 
  lias 
  been 
  described. 
  The 
  two 
  sexes 
  are 
  quite 
  similar 
  

   to 
  each 
  other 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  the 
  front 
  is 
  slightly 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  width 
  

   of 
  the 
  ocellar 
  triangle 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  it 
  is 
  distinctly 
  broader. 
  

  

  Described 
  from 
  Guadalcanal 
  Island, 
  and 
  subsequently 
  recorded 
  by 
  

   Lindner 
  from 
  San 
  Cristobal 
  Island.

  Described 
  from 
  a 
  male 
  and 
  a 
  female 
  from 
  Vella 
  Lavella 
  Island 
  and 
  

   subsequently 
  recorded 
  by 
  Lindner 
  from 
  San 
  Cristobal, 
  New 
  Georgia, 
  

   Savo, 
  Tulagi, 
  Guadalcanal, 
  and 
  Malaita 
  Islands. 
  Lindner 
  did 
  not 
  

   distinguish 
  between 
  the 
  forms 
  solomonensis 
  and 
  incidens, 
  which 
  he 
  

   considered 
  absolute 
  synonyms. 
  Curran 
  originally 
  described 
  these 
  two, 
  

   together 
  with 
  a 
  third, 
  whitneyi, 
  as 
  distinct 
  species. 
  Though 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   seen 
  typical 
  solomonensis, 
  the 
  material 
  before 
  me 
  seems 
  to 
  justify 
  the 
  

   maintenance 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  forms 
  as 
  geographical 
  races.
