MA CROLEPIDOP TERA 1 59 



Kauai, in April ; 6 Mts. Waimea, Kauai, at 4000 feet, in May and June ; i Panoa 

 Valley, Oahu. Also several specimens received from Mr Blackburn, who took the 

 species near Honolulu, Oahu. Occurs likewise in Fiji, S. Asia, and Africa. 



Hypocala Giien. 

 (i) Hypocala andremona Cram. 



Hypocala velans Walk. Cat. xiii. 11 77. 



2 specimens ; i Kona, Hawaii, at 1500 feet, in August ; i Kaala Mts., Oahu, at 500 

 feet, in January : the former an e.xample of the dark suffused variety indicated by 

 Walker under the name velans, the latter quite normal. Other examples taken by Mr 

 Blackburn, near Honolulu, Oahu, and on Maui. Occurs also in the warmer reg-ions of 



o 



America. I regard the form velans as a native race (Mr Perkins thinks he once saw it 

 flying commonly without the type), and typical specimens as recent immigrants.
