2 54 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



connected in middle with following bar ; a broad oblique black bar from costa 

 before f, reaching half across wing, lower extremity excavated, connected beneath 

 with an inwardly oblique black mark from costa at f , and with following fascia ; a 

 broad irregular black subterminal fascia, on upper half very broad and nearly reach- 

 ing termen, abruptly and narrowly contracted below this and again dilated down- 

 wards ; a terminal series of black dots partially absorbed in this : cilia white, with 

 two much interrupted lines becoming obsolete dorsally, first blackish, second dark 

 grey. Hindwings light grey, terminally suffused with darker grey ; cilia grey-whitish, 

 with two cloudy grey lines. 



2 specimens, Kaala Mts., Oahu, at 2000 feet, in March.

Xeroscopa pachysema Meyr. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 236. 



No specimen of this species was obtained by Mr Perkins ; the locality of the 

 original type is not recorded, but I should be disposed to conjecture Haleakala, 

 Maui. It is a peculiar species, not very near any other, markedly narrower-winged 

 than most others, with the black markings largely developed. The narrowed wings 

 and dark colouring are somewhat characteristic of Haleakala species, and many of 

 Mr Blackburn's other insects are from that locality.

 with white. Palpi blackish, base white. Thorax blackish, variably mixed or much 

 suffused with white dorsally, patagia margined with white, tips grey. Abdomen 

 greyish-ochreous, segmental margins sometimes whitish. Forewings white, irregularly 

 irrorated with black ; basal area irregularly suffused with black ; first line white, 

 rather curved, oblique, sharply indented in middle, followed by some black suffusion ; 

 orbicular and claviform confluent into an irregular blackish blotch, preceded by a 

 clearer white spot ; discal 8-shaped, well-defined, black, halves filled with white, 

 connected above with costa, beneath confluent with a very broad blackish terminal 

 fascia, containing white costal and dorsal marks, and irregular interrupted sub- 

 terminal series of white dots ; an interrupted white terminal line : cilia white, barred 

 with dark fuscous, with interrupted blackish antemedian line. Hindwings grey, 

 terminally darker-suffused; cilia whitish, with dark grey subbasal line. (Plate VH.
