Uab. Hawaii, Sandwich Islands, 1 c? and 1 ? (tyjie) in the Tring Mnsenin, the 

 ? from Jlanna Kca, and 1 ? in tlie British Mnsenm, bred l)y R. ('. L. Perkins 

 at Kan. 



Whereas in trne ccdida, from the islands of Oalui and Molokai, the npperside 

 of the hindwing is black with a rnfons discal band which does not quite reach the 

 abdominal edge of the wing, the specimens from Hawaii have the hindwing for 

 the greater part rnfons, the extreme base, an abbreviated median band, and the 

 distal border being black. This black median band is variable in width, and 

 anteriorly more or less extended basad ; the black scaling at the base is also 

 variable in extent, being much more obvious in the type tlian in the specimen 

 bred by Mr. Perkins. 



The two specimens in the Tring Museum are not very well preserved ; the body 

 is somewhat worn, which accounts for the nnderside of the abdomen being for the 

 greater part blackisli instead of nearly uniformly rufous.

Hab. Rook Island, near New Guinea, July 1912 (A. S. Meek), ASS. 



Head, thorax above and below, underside of botli wings, and npperside of 

 forewing and abdomen, suffused with pale cinnamon. Tlio lines on the body and 

 forewing more sharply defined than in //. telox F. (1793). Abdomen above and at 

 the sides longitudinally pencilled with olivaceons black, with a single lateral line of 

 greyish white elongate spots which are parallel to the dorsal line, not oblique. 



Wings, iippersicle. Forewing : distal margin less angulate at second radial vein 

 than in rclojc, the fringe-dots quite small, the greyish white line which divides the 

 wing into a larger and darker costal area and a smaller and paler distal and posterior 

 area more oblique and, on the distal side, more sharply defined ; the line does not 

 reach the hindmargin, but ends in front of it 4 mm. from base at an olivaceous 

 black basal patcli ; the costal area similarly marked as in velox, subbasal black 

 streak in cell prominent, farther distad another streak placed below the cell, disco- 

 cellular dot very small. In distal area the following olive-black lines : a double 

 line along main greyish white line, thin, but continuous ; farther distally a much 

 more prominent line, thicker, also continuous : these three lines parallel with the 

 greyish white one and extending like this much nearer to the base than in velox, 

 the proximal portion of tlie lines being almost parallel to tlie hindmargin. The
