This species does not eppear to have been recorded from Poly«- 
nesia, being previously known from Amboyna and Ceram. Our speci- 
men shows a very similar color-pattern to Oisakas'e Pi caie. ++ 
differs nee few minor points, however, as the absence of the 
white line extending up from the uppemedge. Our example has 
hind caudal edge concave, with upper end lower points .distinct, 
though when greatly expanded, as Bleeker shows, the hind edge 
becomes convex. “+t also lacks the connecting membrane to the 
uppermost ventral ray, as indicated by Bleeker.
