only say that our researches have not shown us anything less far from C. samoana 

 than this, excepting that the Cleora that occurs in the Tonga Is. is unequivocally 

 C. samoana. We give figures (Text-fig. 1) of the valvae of topotypical C. 

 injectaria (Ceylon), the subspecies (?) compactaria from Singapore and the more

 C. samoana. Species with similar facies but still more dissimilar genitalia are 

 C. lichenina Butler * (Loyalty Is.), C. immemorata Walker (New Caledonia), 

 and two small, unnamed species respectively found in Tahiti and the Marquesas Is.

 and I are correct in associating it with the close relative (? form) of C. immemorata, to which I 

 here apply the name, and not with the other known Loyalty Islands Cleora, which is much nearer 

 to C. decisaria.
