| Abstract: | FULL TEXT (translated): The fauna of Lepidoptera of the islands Fiji east, with that of the Samoa, one of faunas the best known ones of the archipelagoes of the Southern Pacific. However, for the Fiji, any work d' together n' was made like out the Samoa; only Tams (Insects off Samoa, Lepid., 4,1935) gives a list of species for certain families (mainly Noctuidae and Pyralidae). We give here today a small list of moths coming from the collections of the National Museum of Natural History {Paris} and reported there is more than 50 years by Filhol; we will add time, the labels of source are marked unfortunately only: Fiji or Fiji islands, without quoting the exact island of the archipelago. Certain species were already quoted by Tams, this work will confirm their presence in the Fiji.With regard to Mariannes, any work that was made; if not the studied together of the insect fauna of Guam by the Services of the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association. Some families of Lepidoptera (Geometridae, Noctuidae, Pyralidae), were studied by Swezey (Insects off Guam II). The list that we give comes from the material collected by Marche at the end of last century. The name of the island will be given following each species.Moths of FijiDracaenura stenosoma Feld.
