Agrotis hephaesiaea, sp. no\-. 



^ %. 36 — 50 mm. Head and thorax bright ferruginous-brown, with some whitish 

 specks, face and sometimes crown suffused with whitish. Antennae in Z bidentate with 

 triangular teeth. Forewings varying from ferruginous-ochreous to deep orange- 

 ochreous, strigulated, or in % wholly suffused, with dark red-brown, dorsal and terminal 

 areas finely irrorated with violet-whitish ; subbasal line indistinctly indicated ; first and 

 second lines formed of violet-whitish irroration edged with dark red-brown, more or less 

 obsolete towards extremities ; orbicular very small, red-brown, sometimes obsolete ; 

 reniform red-brown, its interior irrorated with dark fuscous. Hindwings fuscous-whitish 

 tinged with rosy and irrorated with dark grey, appearing rosy-grey ; a dark grey 

 crescentic discal mark and indistinct postmedian shade. 



Fourteen specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in July ; only one ?, the largest 

 and darkest specimen. In my tabulation of the genus this species would fall under the 

 same head as tcphrias, and it is apparently most allied to that species, but very distinct 

 by its rich colouring, and the orbicular and reniform not marked with whitish.
