77 specimens; 35 Waimea Mts., Kauai, at 4000 feet; 22 Kaholuamano, Kauai, 

 at 4000 feet; i Honolulu Mts., Oahu ; 3 Haleakala, Maui, at 5000 feet; 15 Kona, 

 Hawaii, at 4000 feet ; i Kawailoa, Hawaii ; from April to June, in August, September, 

 and November. I have also three of Mr Blackburn's specimens from the original 

 locality, Haleakala, whence comes the British Museum type (a very dark $). The 

 male is not very variable, but the female is exceedingly so. The size, dark colouring, 

 and only gently waved termen of the forewings will generally serve to distinguish it.
