Hah. Aola, Guadalcanar Island [G. M. Woodford). 



Mr. Woodford's collection contains a male and several 

 females of this distinct species, which has no near ally that 

 we know of.

Bab. Aola, Guadalcanar Island (C M. Woodford). 



Several specimens, all agreeing with one another and

 from the latter insect.
