MACROLEPIDOPTERA 179 



I— f- Forewings somewhat elongate-triangular, termen in ^ strongly rounded, little 

 oblique, in ? rather obliquely bowed ; light fuscous, sometimes ochreous-tinged, sprinkled 

 with blackish dots tending to form strigulae ; first and second lines fuscous dotted with 

 blackish, first strongly curved, more or less abruptly bent near costa, second nearly 

 straight, sinuate inwards above middle and more widely towards dorsum ; median line 

 absent ; a large undefined roundish dark fuscous discal spot, sometimes with pale linear 

 central mark ; an indistinct more or less interrupted fuscous praesubterminal shade ; a 

 terminal series of large blackish dots. Hindwings with termen unevenly waved ; 

 whitish-fuscous; a faint grey discal mark and postmedian series of dots. (Plate IV. 

 fig- 3I-) 



88 specimens; 86, all ,?, Kilauea, Hawaii, in July and August; 2 % Olaa, Hawaii, 

 in September. That the consignment of 86 specimens from Kilauea should not have 

 included a single female is very curious ; generally in this genus more females were sent 

 than males. The species is readily recognised by its small size, uniform light fuscous 

 colouring, strongly dotted lines, large roundish discal spot, and entire absence of median 

 line ; it varies extremely little.
