MACROLEPIDOPTERA 365 



Scoparia geraea Meyr. F. H. i. p. 269. 

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



Scoparia luc/aiiopis, Meyr. F. H. i. p. 271. 

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



Scoparia nieristis Meyr. F. H. i. p. 272. 



Four specimens, N.W. and S.E. Koolau range, Oahu. These specimens are easily 

 distinguished from halmaea by the straighter and more strongly oblique first line : 

 Molokai specimens are quite similar, but those from Hawaii do not show this so 

 distinctly. 



Scoparia hahnaca Meyr. F. H. i. p. 272. 



Eighteen specimens, N.W. and S.E. Koolau range, Oahu, in July and August. 

 The orbicular sometimes becomes an elong-ate black dash. 



& 



Scoparia rcligiosa, sp. no\'. 



^ %. II — 13 mm. Head and thorax brown mixed with whitish. Palpi whitish, 

 with a fuscous median band. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Forewings white, irregularly 

 irrorated with ochreous-brown and dark fuscous, sometimes clear in disc beyond middle ; 

 some ochreous-brown spots mixed with black in disc towards base ; first line undefined, 

 whitish, curved, oblique, indented in middle, edged posteriorly with dark suffusion ; 

 orbicular and claviform indicated by some dark scales, not defined or distinct ; discal 

 X-shaped, blackish, ill-marked, indistinctly connected with a spot of dark suffusion on 

 costa above it ; second line slender, white ; terminal area suffused with dark ochreous- 

 fuscous ; subterminal line white, confiuent with second in middle and interrupted above 

 it ; some white terminal marks : cilia grey-whitish, with dark fuscous subbasal line. 

 Hindwings in ^ whitish-grey, in % pale grey, becoming rather dark grey terminally ; cilia 

 whitish, with grey subbasal line. 



Five specimens, N.W. Koolau range, Oahu, in July and August. I have also one 

 example from Hawaii (overlooked amongst ombrodes and catactis. from which it dift'ers 

 by the absence of the black subbasal fascia). In my tabulation it falls under the same 

 head with platyscia, but is much smaller and less strongly marked.
