Scoparia ombrodcs, Meyr. 



Xeroscopa ombrodes Meyr. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, 234: S. onibrodcs (pars) 

 id. F. H. I. p. 260. 



$ %. 14 — 16 mm. Head and thora.x blackish mixed with whitish. Palpi blackish, 

 base whitish. Abdomen fuscous, segmental margins whitish, anal tuft in $ ochreous. 

 Forewings white, suffusedly mixed with black ; a more or less undefined irregular 

 oblique black almost basal fascia, narrowed on costa ; first line white, slightly curved, 

 oblique, more or less distinctly doubled, posteriorly edged with a band of blackish 

 suffusion ; orbicular and claviform roundish, rather large, black, more or less confluent 

 with this band ; discal suffusedly 8-shaped, black, connected with costa by blackish 

 suffusion, lower half filled with white ; second line white, edged with black anteriorly, 

 terminal area beyond this black ; subterminal line irregular, white, indistinctly connected 

 with second in middle, interrupted above this ; a terminal series of white dots : cilia 

 whitish, more or less barred with fuscous, with a dark fuscous antemedian line. Hind- 

 wings fuscous, towards base whitish-tinged, darker terminally ; cilia whitish-fuscous, with 

 fuscous subbasal line. 



Owing to the confusion mentioned above, I have redescribed this species. The 

 recorded localities from Lanai, Molokai, and Hawaii are apparently correct ; but the 

 Kauai specimens I now refer to dciiiodes. 



Scoparia ianthcs Meyr. F. H. i. p. 261. 



Twenty-one specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in July and August. Varies 

 in development of white median markings of forewings, which often form a more or 

 less entire white median fascia. 



Scoparia inariiiarias Meyr. ¥. H. i. p. 261. 

 Four specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in July 



Scoparia bucolica Meyr. F. H. i. p. 263. 

 Two specimens, N.W. and S.E. Koolau range, Oahu. 



Scoparia pyrseiitis Meyr. F. H. i. p. 263. 



One specimen, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in July. The first line of forewings is 

 less straight than in the original examples, but otherwise there is no obvious difference. 



Scoparia hawaiensis Butl. Meyr. F. H. i. p. 267. 



Twenty-nine specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in August. The average size 

 of these is rather small. 



Scoparia deiiwdes, Meyr. F. H. i. p. 268. 



As mentioned above, the Kauai specimens previously quoted under ombrodes are 

 properly referable here.
