(Callopistria meridionalis Collenette, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., Ixxvi, p. 471, text-fig. 1, pi. 21, fig. 4, 

 1928.) 



The subspecies of C. meridionalis occurring in Samoa, the New Hebrides 

 and the Vavau Group (Tonga) are noticeably distinct from the typical subspecies 

 which inhabits Rapa in one feature, viz., the course of the postmedial fascia. 

 In the typical subspecies this fascia has a definite kink (concavity terminad) 

 between veins Cu 2 and A 2 , whereas in C. m. nauticorum it is only slightly 

 bowed in that region. This subspecies was recorded as Eriopus maillardi 

 Guenee by Rebel (Denkschr. K. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-Naturw., KL, Ixxxv, 

 p. 425, 1910 : 2 Beiheft Jahrb. Hamb. Wiss. Anstalt., xxxii, p. 145, 19] 5).
