Herrich-Schaffer's specimens were received from Upolu. Genus CYNTHIA, Fabricius. 53. CYNTHIA, sp.? 3. Fanessa arsinoe, Montrouzier (nee Cramer), Ann. Sc. Phys. Nat. Lyon, p. 405 (1856). 2 . Fanessa Juliana, Montrouzier (uec Cramer), loc. cit. (1856). Woodlark Island (Montrouzier). This species is not likely to be C. arsinoe, as that species appears to be strictly limited to Amboina and Ceram : it is probably more nearly allied to C. ada (P. Z. S. 1873). Genus PYRAMEIS, Hiibner. 54. PYRAMEIS TAMMEAMEA. Fanessa tammeamea, Eschscholtz, Kotzeb. Reise, iii. p. 207, pi. 5. figs. 8, a, b (1821). Pyrameis cordelia, Doubleday & Hewitson, Gen. Diurn. Lep. pi. 25. fig. 3(1837). Sandwich Islands. B.M. Family ERYCINIDJE. Subfamily LIBYTHEIN^E, Bates. Genus LIBYTHEA, Fabricius. 55. LIBYTHEA ANTIPODA. Libythea antipoda, Boisduval, Bull. Soc. Ent. France, p. clvii. n.9 (1859) ; Felder, Reise der Novara, Lep. ii. p. 313. n. 423, pi. 42. figs. 9, 10(1867?). New Caledonia (Boisduval) ; Philippines (Felder). B. M. I think it quite likely (since Mr. Wallace found characters by which to separate the representatives of this species in Ceram and Batchian) that the New-Caledonian and Philippine insects are perfectly distinct. Family LYCENID^E. Subfamily LYCENIN^E, Butler. Genus LAMPIDES, Hiibner. 56. LAMPIDES CALEDONICA. Lycana kandarpa, var. caledonica, Felder, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. xii. p. 495. n. 209 (1862). New Caledonia (Felder). 57. LAMPIDES TAITENSIS. Lycana taitensis, Boisduval, Voy. de 1'Astrolabe, Lep. p. 771. n. 1 (1832). Taiti (Boisduval), Australia. B.M. |
