Some New Species of Hawaiian Lepidoptera. 



BY OTTO H. SWEZEY. 



Genophantis leahi n. sp. [Fam. Phycitidte]. 

 (Plate 3, fig. 1.) 



^ , 9 , 18-20 mm. Antennae, palpi, head, legs and thorax nearly 

 uniform whitish grey. Abdomen shining whitish ochreous. Forewings 

 whitish grey, sprinkled with fuscous, the fuscous scales tending to 

 form lines on the veins, sometimes quite a wide suffused fuscous 

 streak medianly the whole length of wing, usually a narrow whitish 

 ochreous streak along the fold; lines obsolete; usually a black dot 

 in the cell, another at end of cell; a terminal series of black dots; 

 cilia grey with two whitish lines. Hindwings grey, terminally fuscous; 

 cilia whitish grey, light fuscous at base. 



The larvae of this moth feed abmidantly on the leaves of 

 Euphorbia cordata. I have collected them and reared quite a 

 number of the moths from this plant on the slopes of Diamond 

 Head Crater, Oahn, on several occasions during the past three 

 years. I have named the species for the Hawaiian name of this 

 crater — "Leahi." I have also collected the larvpe from the same 

 plant at Waialua and Waimea, Oahu, on the beach ; and on 

 EupJiorhia pilidifera (a garden weed) in Kaimuki, Oahu. 



The larvae hide in a web spun between adjacent leaves and 

 along the stem. They eat one surface and mesophyll of the leaf, 

 leaving the other epidermis ; hence, their presence on the plant 

 is indicated by the webbed dead leaves. The pupa is formed in 

 a slight cocoon amongst these or amongst leaves, etc., on the 

 ground. 



Full-grown larva — 15 mm., light yellowish, with a wide 

 blackish stripe on each side just above the line of spiracles, three 

 narrower lines on dorsum between these two (these are lacking;
