/ ? . 40—43 mm. Antennae in i shortly bipectinated. Forewings light 

 brownish, irrorated with whitish and sprinkled with black ; subbasal, first, and second 

 lines pale, dark-edged, first dentate, especially acutely inwards above middle ; median

 separated by a small spot of blackish scales ; subterminal line interruptedly dark-edged, 

 especially anteriorly. Hind wings rather light fuscous, darker posteriorly. 



No specimens of this distinct species were taken ; I have therefore described 

 the two original types in the British Museum collection, which were bred from pupae 

 obtained in September in sandhills, Maui. Larva described in Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 XIX. 56.
