PiTHECOPS, Horsf. 

 PiTHECOPs DiONisiTJS. (Plate XXXI. fig. 1.) 

 LyccByia dionisius, Boisd. Voy. Astr., Lep. p. 82. n. 11 (1832). 



Alu I., near Shortland I. Fauro I. Florida I. Treasury I. 

 {Matheiv). 



Mr. Woodford's collections contain a large number of specimens 

 agreeing with those from N. Guinea. The first subcostal nervule 

 in this species is not anastomosed with the costal nervure to any- 

 thing like the extent that it is in the type of the genus (P. hylax, 

 Fabr.). I have figured a specimen from Alu I. 



PiTHECOPS DIONISIUS, var. STEiREMA. (Plate XXXI. fig. 2.) 



Pithecops steirema, H. H. Druce, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Jan. 

 1890, p. 25. 



Savo I. Aola, Guadalcanar I. 



This form, which is distinguished from the preceding by having 

 scarcely any white on the hind wing, seems to be confined to the 

 two islands as noted above. 



ZiZERA, Moore. 



ZlZERA PHCEBE. 



Zlzera phoebe, Murray, Ent. Mo. Mag. x. p. 107 (1873). 



Alu I., near Shortland I. St. Anna I., near San Christoval I. 

 Ugi I. (Matlieiv). 



Several specimens agreeing well with the typical specimens from 

 Australia. 



ZlZERA GAIKA. 



Zizera ffaiha, Trimen, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1862, p. 403. 



Alu I., near Shortland I. Guadalcanar I. N.W. Bay, Malaita I. 

 Ulaua 1. Treasury 1. (Matthew). 



It seems to be a generally accepted fact that Z. pygmcea, Snell., 

 is a synonym o^ Z. gaika, otherwise I should have placed these speci- 

 mens under the former name. 



Lyc^nesthes, Moore. 

 Lyc^nesthes emolus. 



LyccenestJies emolus, Godt. Enc. Meth. ix. p. 656. n. 133 (1823). 

 Alu I., near Shortland I. Guadalcanar I, Uru Bay, Malaita I. 

 Both sexes of this insect, which it is impossible to separate from 

 the Indian and Australian species. 



Talicada, Moore. 

 Talicada cleotas. 



Polyommatus cleotas, Guer. Voy. Coq. t. 18. f. 4 (1829). 



Alu I., near Shortland I. Fauro I. Rubiana I. St. Anna I. 



Several specimens agreeing well with examples from N. Ireland.
