Lycana argentina, Prittwitz, Stett. ent. Zeit. p. 274. n. 32 (1867). Acrophthalmia 1 argentina, Kirby, Cat. Diurn. Lep. p. 96. n. 4 (1871). Samoa (Prittwitz) ; sp. ead. ? Aneiteum. 3, B.M. Closely allied to, if not identical with L. macrophthalma of Felder. 60. LAMPIDES SAMOA. Lycana samoa, Herrich-Schaffer, Stett. ent. Zeit. p. 73. n. 30 (1869). Samoa (Herrich-Schaffer). Probably the same as the preceding, but so carelessly described (both sexes being described as females) that I cannot identify it with certainty. 61. LAMPIDES CANDRENA. Lycana candrena, Herrich-Schaffer, Stett. ent. Zeit. p. 74. n. 34 (1869). VitiLevu, Ovalau, Vanua Valava (Herrich-Schaffer). W e have a species apparently allied to the above from the Navigators'Islands; but the description mentions no black margin to the wings of the male, and gives hardly any idea of the under surface, so that I dare not refer our insect to this species. 62. LAMPIDES DYOPA. Lycana dyopa, Herrich-Schaffer, Stett. ent. Zeit. p. 75. n. 35 (1869). O valau ( Herrich- Schaffer). Probably a variety of the preceding, from which apparently it differs very little.
