62 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Hab. Oahii, one male and three females on trunks of forest trees, Waianae Mts., 

 April 1892.— Kauai, one male, Waimea Mts., 4000 ft.. May 1894 ; one female, Koholu- 

 amano, April 1895. 



A specimen much paler in all its parts and with the spots on the wings very faint 

 but similarly situated, was obtained in the Mts. of Molokai (4000 ft.) in May 1893, and 

 cannot well be separated from the present species.

 vein. The front is darker, the thora.x is yellowish-brown becoming much darker behind 

 owing to an obscure blackish patch in front of the .scutellum ; the metanotum, on 

 the other hand, is lighter ; abdomen with yellow spots smaller.
