As I was not satisfied that P. illibata occurred in Samoa, and at the same 

 time felt sure that the species concerned was really P. prisca, I wrote to Dr.

 Eechinger. He very kindly sent this specimen, and I am now able to give the 

 above synonymy. 



Navigators' Islands (presented to the British Museum by the Duke of 

 Northumberland in 1838). This specimen is Walker's type of P. prisca.
