Probably the same as the preceding, but so carelessly described 

 (both sexes being described as females) that I cannot identify it 

 with certainty.

Viti Levu, Ovalau, Vanua Valava {Herrich-Schciffer). 



We have a species apparently allied to the above from the 

 Navigators' Islands ; but the description mentions no black margin 

 to the wings of the male, and gives hardly any idea of the under sur- 

 face, so that I dare not refer our insect to this species.

 differs very little.
