inhabit the Loyalty Is., namely : S. undilinea Warren, 1900, only known from 

 a specimen from Lifu, though Swinhoe (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1902, p. 657) quite 

 erroneously treated it as identical with S. cretata Warren (i.e. S. destituta Walker, 

 1866, Sula Is.) ; and S. oppilata Walker, 1861 = S. crossophragma Meyrick, 

 1886, which is known also to occur in Toekan Besi, Celebes, from Bali to the 

 Tenimber Is., in Queensland, New South Wales, Kei Is., Amboina, New Guinea, 

 the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Is. The species are mostly small 

 and not particularly attractive, and in all probability several additional ones 

 will be found in the Pacific. 



11. Scopula homodoxa (Meyrick). 



Acidalia homodoxa Meyrick, Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, p. 208, 1886 (Tonga).

Meyrick apparently confused two or three species, and, since he did not, 

 in his earlier work, select a holotype, there has been some difficulty in deciding 

 upon the application of his name. The author gives Port Moresby, Tonga, and 

 Fiji as localities, but, as his New Guinea £ has the hind tarsus \ or less and 

 deviates in some other details, I have made the Tonga $ the holotype and believe 

 that the species does not extend westward of the Loyalty Is. ; see my notes 

 under Scopula pseudodoxa Prout, Nov. Zool., xxvii, 297, 1920. The three 

 specimens in the British Museum from the Solomon Is. (Alu), referred by Mr. 

 Meyrick (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1889, p. 485, 1889) to S. homodoxa, are rubbed 

 examples of S. oppilata Walker, with the very characteristic fringes worn off. 



12. Scopula, sp.

Upolu : Malifa, vi, two specimens, very worn, recorded by Rebel. " Glossy 

 silky-white, one (a <$) 11 mm., showing traces of red scaling before the 

 vertex."
