 ^ broader than usual and generally enclosed by fasciae of lighter brown or sometimes 

 pale brownish-ochreous ; first and second lines formed of rather large blackish dots 

 on veins, in % sometimes waved, entire, first curved, bent near costa, second sometimes 

 accompanied by fine whitish dots, sinuate inwards above middle and towards dorsum ; 

 discal spot in t undefined, suboval, transverse, white or ochreous-whitish, sometimes 

 seeming a group of dots, in % lunate, hardly paler, dark-edged ; subterminal line 

 sometimes obscurely indicated with pale brownish-ochreous or whitish scales ; some-

25 specimens; 17 Kaholuamano, Kauai, at 4000 feet; 7 Waimea Mts., Kauai, at 

 4000 feet ; i Makaweli, Kauai ; from April to June. The t is readily recognised 

 amongst its near allies by the peculiar undefined whitish discal spot ; the % sometimes 

 very closely resembles small dark examples of 5". vara, but may be distinguished by the 

 more waved termen of forewings.
