ii2 I. AHMAD 



Solomon Islands in the east. The adults have been found on Daviesia, an Australian 

 leguminous plant and they have also been collected at light. Adults have been taken at 

 most times of the year, but they seem to be in abundance during the summer months 

 of November to February. No specimen has been collected in July or August.
