MACROLEPIDOPTERA 195 



feet; 16 Kaholuamano, Kauai, at 4000 feet; 36 Halemanu, Kauai, at 4000 feet; 

 I Makaweli, Kauai, at 2000 feet ; from February to May, and in August and September.' 

 The larva is described by Mr Blackburn, Ent. Mo. Mag. xix. 56. Although differing 

 from all other species of the genus in its light bluish-green unspotted undersurface, this 

 insect is structurally a true Lycaena, belonging to the group of ai'giolus. 



PYRALIDINA. 

 PHYCITIDAE. 



Genophantis Meyr. 



Antennae in ^ rather stout, flatly subdentate, shortly ciliated, above base with 

 a very slight sinuation roughened with scales on inner side; remaining characters 

 as in ?. 



Described originally from the female, and amongst the 24 specimens now sent 

 there were only two males ; the characters of this sex. as anticipated, confirm the 

 relationship with Crocydopora.

i%- 17 — 27 mm. Forewings pale ochreous or greyish-ochreous, variably more 

 or less mixed with ferruginous or reddish-fuscous, sometimes much mixed with blackish ; 

 in dark-suffused specimens often a pale costal streak, and sometimes an interrupted 

 broader light dorsal streak, often reduced to a pale dorsal blotch beyond first line ; 

 first line pale, dark-edged, angulated in middle, on dorsum usually preceded by a 

 small triangular dark spot ; discal spot usually forming two transversely placed dark 

 fuscous dots, sometimes obsolete ; second line pale, sufifusedly dark-edged, nearly 

 straight, parallel to termen, slightly indented above middle. Hindwings pale grey ; a 

 suffused darker terminal line. (Plate V. fig. 11.) 



24 specimens; 17 Waimea Mts., Kauai, at 4000 feet; 2 Kaholuamano, Kauai, at 

 4000 feet ; 2 Molokai, at 4000 feet ; i Olaa, Hawaii ; i Waianae Mts., Oahu, at 2000 

 feet ; i Honolulu Mts., Oahu ; from April to June, and in September and October. I 

 have redescribed the species, as it varies very considerably in colouring, and was 

 originally described from a single specimen.
