SCOTOETTHRA DICERAUNIA, n. Sp. 



S ?. 39—50 mm. Head and thorax brown. Antennee whitish-ochreous, 

 pectinations 6-, laterally black-lined. Abdomen pale ochreous, mixed with pale 

 brownish, in (J 1^. Legs whitish-ochreous, spotted with fuscous, posterior tibiae in

 with termen unevenly rounded, slightly waved ; rather light fuscous, in (J becoming 

 whitish-fuscous towards base ; an indistinct post-median series of darker dots. 



Molokai ; 4 specimens. To this species also I now refer without 

 doubt the specimen (of unknown locality) formerly assigned by me 

 as the ? of S. goniastis ; it is entirely similar to the $ now obtained. 

 The present species is allied to S. goniastis, but is distinctly marked 

 and easily recognised from all others by the white lines and discal spot. 



ScotorytJira triscia, Meyr., and Pldyctcsnia synastra, Meyr., were 

 also obtained from Molokai, from which island the}' have not pre- 

 viously been recorded.
