§20 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON BUTTERFLIES FROM FIJI, [Noy. 16, 
Subfamily NyMesALIn&. 
Genus Junonia, Hiibner. 
3. JUNONIA VILLIDA, Fabricius (one example, n. 265). 
2, Ovalau, 30th June, 1875. 
Also a common species. 
Genus DiapEema, Boisduval. 
4, DIADEMA PALLESCENS, Butler (two examples, nn. 259 & 261). 
3, Ovalau, 30th June, 1875. 
The male was not previously in the Museum collection ; it is most 
like D. alemene, but smaller,with smaller bluish spots above; below the 
primaries are redder at the base, and have an oblique postmedian band 
(as in the male of D. nerina) ; the secondaries also differ in the smaller 
submarginal whitish spots, and in having a white central band : 
expanse of wing 3 inches 6 lines. 
Family Lyc#2NID&. 
Genus Lampipes, Hiibner. 
5. Lamprpes CANDRENA, Herrich-Schiffer (two examples, un. 
270 & 271). 
3, Vanua Levu, 3rd July, 1875. 
Family PAPILIONID&. 
Genus Parrtiio, Linnzeus. 
6. Paptnio scHMELTZI1, Herrich-Schiffer (two examples, in. 
260 & 262).. 
3, Ovalau, 30th June, 1875. 
Both examples of this rare and handsome species are in good con- 
dition. It is highly satisfactory to have thus obtained Dr. Herrich- 
Schiiffer’s species from the typical localities. I am also interested to see 
that the Deadema auge of that author (but not of Cramer) is my D. 
pallescens ; for it is additional evidence of the constancy of the latter 
species: his remarks respecting it are as follows :— 
“ Jedenfalls nur aberratio, im Habitus und der Zeichnungsanlage 
ganz mit polymena Fid. Nov. t. 55. f. 5, 6 iibereinstimmend, aber 
beiderseits ohne schwarzen Streif vor dem Saume. Die O Seite ist 
schmutzig ockergelb, gegen die W braun, an der kleineren Spitzen- 
hilfte der Vfl und hinter der Zelle der Hf] weisslich. Unten in Z 
1 b und 2 vor dem Saume ein weisser, dunkel umzogener Querfleck.” 
The above description suits D. pallescens ? in all respects, ex- 
cepting, perhaps, the part relating to the spot in cells 14 and 2, 
which may or may not be correct, seeing that it is impossible to guess 
what cells are meant.
