In our oAvn exiAerience pythias and lacteola are usually taken together. Migratory tlights alwaj-s 
include both, so they are certainly neither seasonal nor geographical forms. We belieA’e them to be 
dimorphs of the one sj^ecies, but it is just i)ossible they may be distinct: only breeding experiments, sueli 
as Ave liaA^e suggested, Avill definitely settle the p)oint. The antennae of pythias are black, AA'lihe those of 
lacteola are pinldsh. 
The type male of ButleFs lactea is from the Solomon Islands, and the ty^oe female is from Queens¬ 
land : therefore the male Avill carry the name lacteUy from Avhich the Australian form lacteola differs but 
slightly.
