HvPENODES Guen. [cf. vol. i. p. 153]. 



Hypenodis arrhccia, sp. nov. 



?. 19 mm. Head and thora.x dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous. Palpi 3^ (second 

 joint nearly 3, terminal joint less than i), dark fuscous, ape.x of terminal joint ochreous- 

 whitish. Antennae grey. Abdomen grey. Forewings dark purplish-bronzy-fuscous ; 

 first and second lines paler, dark-edged, first twice angulated above middle, followed by 

 some whitish irroration, second straight, very oblique, followed by a band of whitish 

 irroration, including indications of subterminal line ; a terminal series of blackish dots : 

 cilia deep bronze. Hindwings light grey, darker terminally : cilia pale grey. 



Had. Kauai, Mts Waimea, at 4,000 feet, two specimens. This species, formerly 

 overlooked amongst the varieties of altivolans, is distinct from it and all the other species 

 by the really straight second line. 



Hypcnodes sarothrura Meyr. F. H. i. p. 155. 



Four specimens (two ^, two $), N.W. and S.E. Koolau range, Oahu, in April and July. 

 These range in expanse from 15 to 19 mm. ; forewings more or less suffused with dark 

 fuscous, first line not followed by white, discal black streak obsolete or represented by a 

 discal spot, second line sometimes not followed by white suffusion ; hindwings some- 

 times grey ; forewings in % lighter, sometimes whitish-sprinkled, with lines largely 

 obsolete or indicated partially by black edgings only. Probably varies like altivolans, 

 which it closely resembles ; the distinction by the colour of hindwings, employed in my 

 tabulation, fails ; the species is best distinguished from altivolans by the widely 

 rectangularly broken second line, and the ^ also by the lateral tufts of abdomen.
