Hah. Solomon Islands, Alu Island, Fauro Island, Aola in 

 Guadalcanar Island, North-west Bay in Maleita Island {C. 

 M. Woodford). 



E. unibrunnea of New Ireland seems to be the most nearly 

 allied species to E. heuriiipa, but the latter is darker on both 

 surfaces of the wings, the cell of the primaries not so clear a 

 fawn-colour. 



There is some variation in this species in the different 

 islands of the Solomon group. The examples from Alu Island 

 are the darkest and have the submarginal spots on the pri- 

 maries more distinct than in the Fauro-Island and Guadal- 

 canar-Island individuals ; but the differences are very slight.

Hah. Solomon Islands, Savo Island, Aola in Guadalcanar 

 Island {G. M. Woodford). 



The collection contains three specimens of this pretty species, 

 two males and a female, the former from Guadalcanar Island, 

 the latter from Savo Island. The species most nearly allied 

 to it seem to be E. darchia of Australia and E. 'priapus^ 

 Butl., and like them it belongs to Mr. Butler's genus Calli- 

 2'l(.ca.
