366 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



ADDENDUM. 



Sir George Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal. iv. 426) has described as a new species, 

 Agrotis coniotis, the five specimens of those described by me (F. H. i. p. 151) as 

 chersotoides Butl., which fell to the share of the British Museum. However, after 

 considering his descriptions and figures, I see no reason to change my view that all 

 were rightly included under chersotoides ; one of my own examples exactly matches his 

 figure of chersotoides. No doubt these variable species are hard to understand ; but in 

 this instance it must be remembered that I had before me eight additional specimens 

 which Sir George Hampson has not seen.
