Upolu, Malololelei, 2,000 feet, June ; 1 ex. This species doubtless marks 

 the geographical line of connection of the New Zealand P. miniella with the 

 similar crimson and yellow Indian species of this genus, of which the most 

 nearly similar is apparently P. hieranthes, of Ceylon ; no similar form has been 

 found in Australia, or nearer than Java. 



110. Timodora chrysochoa Meyr. 



Upolu, Malololelei, 2,000 feet, June, November ; 2 ex. Described (Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. 1886, 296) from a specimen from Tonga. The rough hairs on 

 the head are in one example conspicuously erected, but in the other depressed, 

 and are probably under voluntary control.
