Fiji, Lautoka, May, October (H. Phillips ) ; 3 ex. (type Brit. Mus.). 
Thiallela rhodoptila, n. sp. 
<S . 20-21 mm. Head, palpi, thorax rufous-brown. Posterior 
tibiae with very long roughly expanded light dull rosy hairs above

line formed by obscure pale suffusion, rather oblique, followed on 
upper part of disc by some raised scales, and beneath this by some 
brown suffusion ; a more or less extended blotch of dark fuscous 
suffusion occupying median area of costa and extending about half 
across wing; two small obscure dark spots transversely placed on 
end of cell, sometimes absorbed in preceding ; second line parallel 
to termen, obscurely pale, waved, edged dark fuscous suffusion, 
broader and darker towards costa : cilia light grey. Hindwings 
light grey, terminal edge dark grey; cilia pale grey, a faint darker 
subbasal line. 
Fiji, Lautoka, Labasa, February, August, October, bred from 
larvae on leaves of Alphitonia excelsa ( Rhamnacece ) ( W . Greenwood , 
H. Phillips ); 3 ex. (type Brit. Mus.). 
Cryptoblabes trabeata, n. sp. 
5 . 11 mm. Head ochreous, face with metallic gloss. Palpi

a broad orange-ochreous costal stripe, enclosing a snow-white

Fiji, Lautoka, bred March from larva feeding on epidermis of 
leaves of an unnamed plant; 1 ex. (Brit. Mus.). 
Cryptoblabes plagioleuca Turn. 
Fiji, Lautoka, bred January, February, October, November from 
flowers of loquat (Eriobotrya jo. ponied), young leaves of Inocarpus 
edulis , green fruits of Ricinus communis , and fruits of Vitex trifolia ; 
the insects bred from these very various and unrelated food-plants 
are certainly all the same species, and identical with my Australian 
series of plagioleuca.
