Abstract

The Lepidoptera faunas of the remote Pacific islands, Easter, Pitcairn and Henderson, are listed and discussed, with notes on biology. They are compared with the faunas of Mururoa and Rapa Islands, the five islands providing contrasts in geology, ecology and human disturbance. A new hawk moth is described, Hippotion hateleyi, endemic to Henderson Island.
