PiTHECOPS, Horsf. 



PiTHEcoPs DioNisius. (Plate XXXI, fig. 1.) 



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



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

 {Mathevj). 



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

 agreeii)g wilh those from N. Guinea. The first subcostal nervule 

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

 thing Uke 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 vphite on the hind wing, seems to be confined to the 

 two islands as noted above.

Zizera phcehe, Murray, Ent. Mo. Mag. x. p. 107 (1873).

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 of Z.gaika^ otherwise I should have placed these speci- 

 mens under the former name. 



Lyc^nesthes, Moore. 

 Lyc^nesthes emolus. 



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

 the Indian and Australian species.
