6o FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



abdomen in this sex is greatly distorted in drying, and the characters are lost. (Plate 

 III. figs. II, 12 & 13.) 



Expanse from about 29 to about i^ mm. 



Hab. Oahu and Hawaii. Found at elevations of from 2000 — 8000 ft. I have 

 examined about 100 examples of this species. The Oahuan specimens seem to be of 

 smaller average size. 



(28) Anomalochrysa fulvescens, sp. nov. 



Face and basal joint of the antennae red, brown, or yellowish, pro- and mesothorax 

 generally red or reddish brown, the sides of the latter and the metathorax often pale, 

 testaceous or yellowish. Abdomen varying in colour from yellow to dark brown. 

 Legs varying in colour from pale yellow to red. 



Anterior wings strongly fulvescent, often more or less spotted with dark fuscous, 

 or banded, or even entirely suffused with that colour, but always with a fulvous tinge. 



The nervuration in the field of the gradate nervules is extremely complicated, and 

 consists for the greater part of large numbers of small cellules, most of which are but 

 little higher than wide, forming a dense reticulum, and not regularly disposed in rows. 

 The third cubital cellule has its basal side exceedingly strongly thickened in the $, and 

 in both sexes the dividing nervule almost meets the upper extremity of the apical side, 

 both being received in an evident thickening on the cubital nervure. The colour of the 

 nervuration varies from yellow to brown through bright pink. The posterior wings are 

 hyaline and iridescent distinctly tinged with fulvous, but much less deeply coloured 

 than the anterior pair. Their nervuration is also irregular and confused, but the gradate 

 nervules are generally less numerous than in the anterior wings. The pterostigmata 

 vary in colour from very pale yellow to reddish. 



In the $ the abdomen has only an excessively minute and short pubescence, the 

 apical dorsal plate is not strongly dilated, and has an apical fringe of pale hairs ; on its 

 lower margin inwardly it is furnished with a row of spinose hairs, directed inwardly, and 

 with curved apices. The ventral valve with only some short pubescence. (Plate III. 

 figs. 14. 15 & 16.) 



Expanse 28 mm. (very small $) to t,"/ mm. 



Hab. Haleakala, Maui (4000 — 5000 ft.). 1 have examined about 50 examples of 

 this remarkable insect. Of the examples with dark-spotted or banded wings there are 

 no two alike, nor do the markings ever agree on the two sides of the same insect. 



(29) Anomalochrysa rhododora, sp. nov. 



Brown, more or less tinged with red, head, basal joint of the antennae, and front 

 and intermediate legs red.
