pinu'tii ration wliicli is <>(Micrall_v more nio-oso and in the colora- 

 tion Avhieli is nmcli more distinct. 0. xerophilus was not de- 

 scribed by Dr. Perkins possibly for the reason that he considered 

 it as a variety or insular form of 0. moh'dicnsis Perk, of Maui 

 and Molokai. On the other liand and for the same reasons it 

 is equally possible that 0. molokaiensis may lie only a variety 

 of 0. scoriaceus P. of Hawaii. 



The question of insular forms or varieties among Hawaiian 

 Odynents will undoubtedly be decided sooner or later (possibly 

 later than sooner), but the writer sees no reason why these 

 should not in the meantime be named and described providing 

 series arc captured which present acceptable structural or sculp- 

 tural diiferences. This would only be following the system here- 

 tofore adopted with certain other species of these Hawaiian 

 Aculeates. 



Note — All the specimens representing the four species above re- 

 ferred to are in the writer's collection. 



Kilauea Moths. 



BY OTTO II. SWEZEY. 



I hereby present a tabulated list of moths collected at lights 

 by Messers W. M. GifFard, E. M. Ehrhorn, D. T. Fullaway 

 and J. F. Rock at Mr. Giffard's bungalow at 29 miles, Ki- 

 lauea, Hawaii. These moths were collected at various times 

 indicated in the table whenever Mr. GifFard and one or another 

 of the above mentioned gentlemen visited the place for a few 

 days or weeks during the past twelve months. They were 

 handed to me for determination. I have exhibited the different 

 lots of them at various times, and now present this tabulated 

 list of the whole lot. Among them there are 112 species, ten 

 of which I find to be new, and will describe along with others 

 in a later paper.
