 orange, tips white ; forewings with orange costal streak variable in breadth basally, and 

 sometimes extended finely to apex ; cilia pale orange, sometimes greyish-tinged, base

 June. Also recorded by Mr Blackburn from Honolulu, Oahu. The species is at

 costal half between fasciae ; five dull orange fasciae (in ^ much suffused with whitish), 

 edged with dark fuscous, first two rather oblique, third median, including a dark fuscous 

 transverse mark above middle, connected with fourth by a slender downward-oblique 

 bar below middle, fourth gently curved, obsolete on dorsum, fifth broader, terminal ; a 

 dark fuscous dot below costa between second and third ; cilia fuscous-whitish, with a 

 dark fuscous subbasal line. Hindwings with groundcolour and fourth and fifth fasciae

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

 I Molokai Mts. ; from April to August. The only male is the Molokai specimen, and is

 than sexual.
