I90 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



ochreous-yellowish, sometimes sprinkled with fuscous. Legs orange, spotted with 

 fuscous. Forewings rather elongate-triangular, costa slightly sinuate posteriorly, apex 

 prominent, subfalcate, termen concave below apex, then waved, bowed, oblique ; 

 ochreous-yellow, thinly sprinkled with fuscous, or more or less densely suffusedly 

 strigulated with ferruginous-brown ; costa sometimes suffused with fiery orange on 

 anterior half; first and second lines ferruginous, sometimes very obscure, more or less 

 marked with blackish dots on veins, first gently and evenly curved, second rather sinuate 

 inwards on lower half, sometimes followed by a deeper suffusion ; no discal spot ; cilia 

 dark fuscous, base ferruginous, tips whitish. Hindwings with termen unevenly waved ; 

 light ochreous-yellowish, sometimes tinged with orange or fuscous, more or less 

 sprinkled with dark fuscous ; an indistinct darker discal spot, and sometimes a post- 

 median series of dark dots. (Plate V. fig. 5.) 



3 specimens; 2 Olaa, Hawaii ; i Kona, Hawaii, at 3000 feet ; in September. It 

 is a pity the male of this fine insect was not discovered, but it may be expected to 

 present differences analogous to those of the same sex in 6". eiiryphaea. The female is 

 apparently variable, but immediately recognisable by its large size and subfalcate fore- 

 wings ; the dark cilia are also a characteristic feature. 



Tritocleis, gen. nov. 



Face with projecting scales. Tongue developed. Antennae in ^ bipectinated, 

 simple on apical third and on one joint above basal. Palpi rough-scaled. Thorax 

 thinly hairy beneath. Femora glabrous, posterior tibiae in Z not dilated, without hair- 

 pencil. Forewings in ^ without fovea; 10 out of i r, connected with 9 to form well- 

 defined areole. Hindwings normal. 



The connection of vein 10 with 9 is not here (as in the preceding genus and many 

 others of the family) the casual and unimportant conjunction at a point of two almost 

 parallel and closely approximated veins, but 10 is in its lower portion parallel to the 

 upper wall of cell, and only takes an upward direction after its connection with 9. 



(31) Tritocleis microphylla, sp. nov. 



^. 20 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, sprinkled with black. Antennae 

 ochreous-whitish, pectinations 12, finely black-lined. Abdomen whitish-ochreous, with 

 double dorsal series of blackish dots, two on basal segment much larger. Forewings 

 triangular, termen bowed, oblique ; whitish-ochreous, finely and thinly sprinkled with 

 black ; first line indicated only by a blackish dot near dorsum ; a cloudy dark grey 

 discal dot ; second line unusually near termen, formed by a series of black dots, running 

 from |- of costa to f of dorsum, unevenly curved outwards, beneath costa indented
