by fasciae of partially confluent yellow spots ; first and second lines dark fuscous, often 

 very indistinct, seldom forming series of dots, sometimes accompanied by series of 

 whitish dots, first unevenly curved, second slightly sinuate inwards towards dorsum ; 

 median shade darker, usually very faint, seldom distinct, somewhat angulated above 

 middle ; discal spot very obscurely darker, hardly defined, placed on median shade, in 

 $ sometimes distinct, oval or lunate ; subterminal line obscurely pale, waved, very faint 

 or obsolete. Hindwings with termen in ^ hardly, in % gently waved ; in ^ light fuscous, 

 darker terminally, in % ochreous-yellowish irrorated with fuscous or seldom wholly 

 fuscous ; usually a faint postmedian series of darker dots. (Plate V. fig. 4.) 



43 specimens; 19 Waimea Mts., Kauai, at 4000 feet ; 21 Kaholuamano, Kauai, at 

 4000 feet ; 2 Haleakala, Maui, at 5000 feet; i Molokai ; from April to July, and in 

 October. Differs from all the preceding by its large size, long antennal pectinations, 

 and peculiar form of the second line of forewings, which is not sinuate above middle.

 December ; i Kilauea, Hawaii, in August. Closely allied to S. eurypkaea, but easily 

 distinguished by the more strongly waved or in % dentate termen of forewings.
