362 FAUNA HAU'AIIENSIS 



middle third curved outwards ; in % an indistinct whitish shade following first line and 

 one on costal half of wing preceding second, and some spots of whitish suffusion towards 

 base ; a cloudy dark fuscous discal dot ; a terminal series of dark fuscous spots : cilia 

 fuscous, obscurely barred with ochreous-whitish, with a dark fuscous line. Hindwings 

 in ^ white, with a dark fuscous fascia on upper half of termen confluent with a patch of 

 dark fuscous suffusion in posterior part of disc, in % fuscous, darker posteriorly, ir- 

 regularly mixed with white suffusion in disc ; in ^ a rather long whitish dorsal lobe, 

 terminated by a tuft of whitish hairs with tips blackish, no costal hairpencil ; cilia 

 ochreous-whitish, in ^ with basal half dark grey on terminal fascia, in % fuscous round 

 apex and with darker fuscous basal line. 



Two specimens, S.E. Koolau range, Oahu, in July. Allied to abnorniis and 

 autodoxa, but larger, and differing from both in the absence of the costal hairpencil of t \ 

 in the character of the dorsal lobe it is intermediate between the two, in the tibial brush 

 it resembles abnormis. It is remarkable that these three rather nearly related species, 

 \vhich might have been expected to be representative forms on different islands, are all 

 apparently restricted to the small island of Oahu, where they occur together in the same 

 locality.

.Sufficiendy described {I.e.), and locality correctly quoted ; I originally de.scribed 

 viesoleiica from an example received from Mr Blackburn without locality ; subsequently 

 getting a series oi gottodecta from Kauai, I took it for the same species and redescribed 

 it from these ; having now obtained a series of the true viesoleuca from Oahu, I find the 

 two species to be constant and distinct ; the distinction is indicated below.
