No additional specimens obtained. Recorded by Mr Blackburn from Mauna 

 Lea, Lanai, in September. After careful comparison with allied forms, I consider 

 that the face is only somewhat prominently rounded and has no true frontal projec- 

 tion. The first and second lines of forewings are sometimes more distinctly indicated 

 by dots of blackish scales than is implied in my description, but none of the specimens 

 are good. 



(8) Pyrausta psychropa, sp. nov. 



^. 23 — 28 mm. Head, palpi, and thora.x whitish mixed with fuscous or whitish- 

 fuscous, palpi 3, with broad lateral blackish-fuscous stripe, base white beneath, edge of 

 shoulder black. Abdomen rather elongate, fuscous, whitish-mixed, anal tuft whitish. 

 Legs fuscous mixed with whitish. Forewings fuscous, thickly suffusedly strewn with 

 white scales, and more or less irrorated with dark fuscous ; a short black longitudinal 

 streak from base of costa ; first line darker, only distinct near costa, where it is very 

 oblique and somewhat marked with black ; dorsal edge sharply black between first and 

 second lines ; oval orbicular and narrow-reniform discal spot outlined with dark fuscous 

 or blackish, oblique ; second line hardly perceptible except towards costa, where it forms 

 a very oblique blackish streak, followed by a small white costal spot, elsewhere some- 

 times partially indicated by dark fuscous dots, apparently sending an abrupt loop 

 inwards beneath discal spot ; a terminal series of black dots : cilia whitish, with a fuscous 

 subbasal line. Hindwings fuscous, lighter anteriorly ; two obliquely placed darker 

 discal dots ; sometimes obscure indications of a postmedian line. (Plate VL fig. 4.)
