 xviii. p. 581 (1908). 



Farquliar Is. — One very worn and scaleless specimen is apparently referable to this 

 species. 



Desroclies. — Specimens from Desroches resemble examples of ^S*. straminea in the 

 National Collection except in having an ill-defined undulate subterminal fuscous 

 clouding to both wings. The short series in the British Museum, however, is sufficiently 

 variable inter se for me to regard this difference as only varietal and possibly individual.
