margin and bounding a large oval orange-red spot on inner margin ; 
between the red spot and the broad central part of the creamy band 
a few scattered blue scales; a discal submarginal series of large 
spots orange-red with creamy lateral edges ; body dull brown, 
palpi, legs, and venter streaked with pale yellow: expanse of wings 
3 inches 9 lines. 
Maré, Loyalty group, May 1875. 
This is a most puzzling species: above it has somewhat the aspect 
of P. nephelus with the hind-wing spot of P. helenus; but below 
it agrees better with P. godefroyt than with any other Papilio at 
present known to me. 
With the preceding collection of butterflies Mr. Perry sent three 
examples of a small Homopterous insect closely allied to Tarandia 
australis of Walker, from Vaté Island. He says, “‘ This insect was 
found numerous under the leaves of shrubs in dark parts of the 
bush.”

[Received October 20, 1875.] 
Mr. W. Wykeham Perry has recently sent us the Lepidoptera 
obtained during his late visit to the Fiji Islands—thirteen examples, 
referable to six species, as follows :— 
Family Nympuauip 2. 
Subfamily Danainz, 
Genus Evpiaa, Fabricius. 
1. Eveia@a proserrrna, Butler (four examples, nn. 266-269). 
3, Ovalau 30th June, 1875; ¢ 2 in copuld, Vanua Levu, 3rd 
July. 
I had not previously seen the female of this Species ; it is rather 
larger than the male, and the secondaries are slightly paler in tint ; 
all the white spots are larger, the inner margin of primaries straighter, 
and the silky streak is absent. 
Subfamily Satyrin az, 
Genus Xors, Hewitson. 
2. Xors sEsara, Hewitson (two examples, nn. 263, 264). 
3 2, Ovalau, 30th June, 1875. 
This is a very common species.
