I find this to be a good species, which I subsequently wrongly united with 

 ennychioides (cf. vol. i. p. 216). The distinguishing characters are as follows: 



17 — 25 mm. Forewings with first and second lines much more suffused, second 

 line with pale posterior edging reduced to a series of whitish dots, one in subcostal 

 indentation especially conspicuous (whereas in ennychioides it forms a uniform un- 

 interrupted though obscure whitish-ochreous line) ; orbicular and discal spots wholly 

 uniform dark fuscous (in ennychioides less dark centrally, darker-outlined) ; cilia without 

 ochreous-whitish bars on apical half. 



Si.v specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, at 2000 feet, in Jul)- and August. Also 

 occurs (from previous specimens and records) at Olaa, Hawaii, and Kaholuamano, 

 Kauai, in January, April, and October. My error in confusing this species with 

 ennychioides was due to my having mi.xed unset e.xamples of lainpadias amongst them ; 

 when this species was isolated, the other two became easily distinguishable.

The distinctions of this insect from the preceding and following are given under 

 those species respectively; my description, Faun. Haw. i. 216, includes all three. No 

 specimens were included in the present consignment ; previous records are from Waianae 

 Mts, Oahu, and Kaholuamano, Kauai.
