had reared from caterpillars collected on Nicotiana glauca at 
Sprecklesville, Maui, December 8, 1922. The caterpillars had 
obtained their growth and entered the soil for pupation on De- 
cember 13, 14, and 16, respectively. The moths issued just 
forty-one days later in each instance, 1. e., January 23, 24, and 
26, respectively. Although this moth has been known for a long 
time, having been collected by Blackburn, yet the caterpillars 
are rarely met with, Nicotiana glauca apparently being its 
favorite food plant, although it was reported as occurring on 
cultivated tobacco, when this was being grown at Kona, Hawai, 
a few years ago. Hitherto, the only specimen of the moth in 
any collection in the Territory has been a single one in the 
H. S. P. A. collection, reared by Mr. Swezey from a caterpillar 
collected on Nicotiana glauca at Kahului, Maui, October 10, 
1919. From the present lot of specimens, he intends distribut- 
ing one each to the Bishop Museum and the Board of Agri- 
culture and Forestry.
