Show 1888.] HETEROCERA FROM FIJI. 225 40. ACH-E MELICERTE. Achce melicerte, Drury, 111. Exot. Ins. i. t. 23. f. 1. This common species ranges over India, China, Java, Borneo, and various other islands to North Australia. 41. OPHIUSA MYOPS. Ophiusa myops, Guen. Sp. Gen. Lep. vii. p. 265. Identical with Javan specimens. 42. OPHIUSA ARCTOT^ENIA. Ophiusa arctotania, Guen. Sp. Gen. Lep. vii. 272. The specimens are in every way identical with those from Darjeeling. 43. GRAMMODES OCULICOLA. Grammodes oculicola, Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 1446. 44. GRAMMODES ALCYONA, n. sp. (Plate XIII. fig. 5.) Primaries dark brown, bordered on the costal and outer margin with pale brown; two white lines running from the base to near the outer margin, where they are joined by a transverse narrow line forming a large triangle; the inner line is much the broadest of the three. Secondaries pale mouse-colour, darkest from the apex to the anal angle. Underside uniform pale whitish brown ; head, thorax, and abdomen pale brown ; antennse and legs brown. Expanse 1| inch. This species is allied to Grammodes delta, Boisd., but it is at once distinguished from that species by the entirely different shape of the triangular mark on the primaries. Fam. EUCLIDID.E. 45. TRIGONODES CEPHISE. Trigonodes cephise, Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. p. 59, t. 227. f. C. One specimen, which is almost identical with Cramer's figure. Fam. REMIGID_E. 46. REMIGIA ARCHESIS. Remigia archesis, Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. t. 273. f. F, G, H. Remigia demonstrans, Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 1512. Remigia discrepans, Butl. With a very large series of specimens before me I am quite unable to separate Walker's and Mr. Butler's species ; on the undersides they are all identical except in colour, some being slightly brighter than others, but in no locality are they constant in this respect. 47. REMIGIA CONGREGATA. Remigia congregata, Walk. Cat. xv. p. 1847. Remigia optatura, Walk. I. c. p. 1848. A very variable species, Walker's R. optatura is only a female of his R. congregata. |
