"Occurs on the mountains of Oahu in October." — T. B. 



The receipt of this species in both sexes is satisfactory, since it 

 renders the distinctness of M. ennychioides from Aporodes ? micacea 

 more pi'obable. 



Gesnebia, Hiibner. 



To this genus Hiibner referred the broad-winged species with 

 long palpi, usually placed under Scoi^aria : he gave no characters ; his 

 description being merely — " The wings marked with an indistinct 

 central spot." The type is G. centurionalis. 



6. Gesneria Jlo7'icolens, sp. n. 



Aspect of O. mercurella, Linn., but in coloration nearer to Hellula nndalis : 

 primaries grey, Tariecl witli pale creamy-biifp, crossed by three white stripes edged 

 externally with blackish dots ; the two outer stripes (representing the limits of the 

 central belt) sigmoidal, enclosing the reniform spot, which is cream-coloured with 

 two black dots upon it ; the base and central belt are a little paler than the rest of 

 the wing, the disc being slightly the darkest area ; a sub-marginal series of black 

 dots from which small white dashes run outwards to the margin, interrupting a 

 black marginal line ; fringe white ; secondaries sericeous creamy-white, greyish at 

 apex ; fringe snow-white, traversed by a grey line : body sordid cream-colour; head 

 greyish, antennae brownish ; under surface silvery-white ; anterior tarsi banded 

 above with grey. Expanse of wings, 14 mm. 



" Two specimens from Lanai : on the sandy sea-shore at Mauna 

 Lea, flying over flowers: September." — T. B. 



TINIJINA. 



7. Depressaria sp. ? 



Two examples of a grey species with whitish secondaries ; both of them un- 

 fortunately destitute of palpi, on which account it appears to me that it is wiser to 

 abstain from naming this insect : it is doubtful whether it really is a Depressaria. 



" Not rare in September among parched vegetation on the sandy 

 plains of Maui ; but most specimens were in poor condition." — T. B. 



8. Azinis MlareUa. 



Azinis hiIarena,Wa\'ker, Cat. Lep. Het., xxviii, p. 542 (1863). 

 " I have twice taken this insect, though at long intervals : each time 

 it was apparently attracted by light, but seemed very sluggish, and 

 apparently satisfied to sit and look at the light from a distance." — T. B. 



The example sent agrees with three specimens collected by Mr. 

 Hobson, in Formosa : it is, therefore, evident that this species has a 

 very wide range.
