When describing Phantcmnatocem fiiscofasciata, the writer pointed out that 

 the male possessed a head similar to that of Swezeyia laratica, and the female 

 a head resembling that of P. vitiensis. Now that we have evidence that S. 

 lyricen Kirk, is the male of P. vitiensis Kirk., there is no necessity to try to 

 keep the two genera apart. Nesophantasma has no characters by which it can 

 be separated from Sivezeyia. 



43. Swezeyia lyricen Kirk. 



Sivezeyia lyricen Kirk., t. c. PI. XXX, f. 10. 1906. 



Phantasmatocera vitiensis Kirk., t. c. p. 431, PI. XXVIII, figs. 1-3. 1906. 



There is a long series of males which are S. lyricen, and a similar series of 

 females which are P. vitiensis. Since we know that there are great sexual 

 differences in the head of allied species, we must conclude that these are the 

 sexes of the same species. 



Savaii : Safune, twenty -five males and twenty-three females, v. 1924 

 (Bryan) ; Tuasivi, one specimen, ii.l924. 



Tutuila : Pago Pago, six males and seven females ; Leone Road, two females ; 

 Amauli, two males, ix.l923 (Swezey and Wilder). 



Upolu : Apia, two females, ix.l923 (Swezey and Wilder) ; one male, 

 four females, ii., iv., viii.1924. Malololelei, one male and one female ; Vailima, 

 one female, ii.l925. 



Previously met with in Fiji. 



Levu Kirkaldy 

 44. Levu rufulus sp. n. 



Female : length 2-3 mm. ; tegmen 4 mm. 

 Shoulder keels well developed. 



Stramineous : slightly reddish on dorsum. Tegmina hyaline, uniformly 

 reddish fuscous, veins slightly darker. Hind margin of pregenital plate angularly 

 produced from sides to middle. 



The lateral carinae of frons meet together from base to beyond middle, 

 thus placing the present species in the genus Levu ; otherwise it is very similar 

 to Decora haematoneura (Kirkaldy), placed by Kirkaldy in Rhotana Walker, 

 but as the shoulder keels are well developed, and the lateral carinae of frons do 

 not meet together, we have to consider it as a Decora,
