 been introduced. 



2. Alucita candidalis Walk. 



In 1885 I recorded the Australian A. aptalis Walk, from Samoa, Tonga, 

 and New Hebrides, on specimens taken by Mr. G. F. Mathew, but I am now 

 convinced that these were A. candidalis, which. I have lately seen from the 

 New Hebrides, and with which I was not then familiar ; it occurs from Africa 

 and India to N.E. Australia and New Guinea. There is no example of the genus

Upolu, Apia, September (Armstrong) ; 1 ex. Also 1 9, 20 mm., very

 genus.
