posteriorly edged with dark fuscous suffusion mixed with black ; orbicular small, 

 irregularly dot-like, blackish, sometimes connected with preceding suffusion ; claviform 

 obsolete ; discal X-shaped, blackish ; second and subterminal lines cloudy, whitish, 

 confluent in middle ; a terminal series of indistinct dark fuscous dots, confluent into 

 a triangular spot in middle : cilia white, with interrupted dark fuscous antemedian 

 and traces of fuscous subapical line. Hindwings whitish-fuscous, terminally suffused 

 with fuscous; cilia whitish, with a fuscous subbasal line. (Plate VII. fig. 25.) 



53 specimens; 12 Mts. Waimea, Kauai, at 4000 feet ; 41 Kaholuamano, Kauai, 

 at 4000 feet ; from April to June. Closely allied to the preceding species, but 

 apparently somewhat shorter-winged, with the ground colour more suffused with white, 

 and the black scales better developed, so that the markings are more distinct, and in 

 particular the orbicular forms a conspicuous black dot.
