Echthromorpha fuscator (Fabricius). 



A\'liile on the snbjeet of Eriiilivoinurpha it may he noted 

 that after diligent efforts to find females corresponding- to the 

 i described by Cameron as flavo-orhlialis I have never taken 

 or seen a female with yellow orbits, ^lales with the charac- 

 ters of j Id fo-orhihihs ('anieron are not unconiinon auion'j,' the 

 smaner iiidivichials. 1 am coii\-inced that fhiro-orhifalis is 

 only a weak color variety of fiiscalor { iiKinilipennis Holm- 

 gren) connected by intermediates with the larger normal form. 

 The species is abnndant at all elevations in the Hawaiian Isl- 

 ands, iitlacking nnmerous species of endemic and iniinigrant 

 lepidoplera.
