Chrysodeixis illumina ta (ROBINSON, 1968) — Philippines, Palawan, Mantalingajan, Pinigisan, 600 m, 2 Sept. 1961, 1 çf ; New Ireland, Lemkamin, 5 çfçf (7 April 1962,1 rf, 12 April, 1 rf, 17 April 3 çfçf); Bismarck Isl., New Britain, Yalom, 1000 m, 12 çfçf (8 May 1962, 1 çf, 9 May, 9 çfçf, 15 May, 2 çfçf); Bismarck Isl., Manus, Lorengau, 24. June 1962, 6 çfçf. — A typical Oriental rain forest species (HOLLOWAY 1979). not rare in some localities. This species is also interesting from nomenclatorical point of view as it was described at first as "ab. illuminata ab. n." by WARREN in SEITZ (1913). Later, it was newly described by the same name by ROBINSON (and it has two further synonyms from the last fifteen years, namely nesiotes DUFAY, 1974 and albescens CHOU et Lu, 1979). As the aberration names are not protected, the valid name and description — by the rules of the ICZN — should be the name and the authorship of ROBINSON.
