Inarajan, June 8; Asan, Aug. 22; Agat, Sept. 26; Sumay road, Oct. 1, Swezey; Piti, Sept. 11, 13, at light, Swezey. One specimen in Bishop Museum, Fullaway, 1911.
Described from
Samoa
, I have found no other record of it. In
Guam
it occurred as a leafroller on
hodda (
Ficus tinctoria
).
The
Guam
specim~ns have the white portions of the wings pure white, whereas in specimens from
Samoa
at Bishop M1;1seumthese areas have a creamy tinge.
