sides: legs yellowish or light brown, fuscous at apex of femora and 

 base of tibiae; abdominal tergites and phygophor brown, sternites 

 dirty white. Tegmina slightly opaque, milky, veins light with dis- 

 tinct dark brown granules somewhat irregular on apical portion, a 

 fuscous band from costal margin near base to junction of claval 

 veins and then to beyond middle of claval margin where there is a 

 darker mark, the basal border of the band fairly well defined but 

 the apical border fading out irregularly: a dark mark at contact 

 between radius and media, and from median cross-vein to apex, more 

 or less indefinite; wings whitish with light veins. The opaque, milky 

 appearance of tegmina and wings due to a waxy secretion and can be 

 removed with chloroform. 



Length 3 mm.; tegmen 3.4 mm. 



9 Lighter in color than the male. The band across tegmeu is 

 sometimes nearly obsolete, even in males, and the mesonotum be- 

 tween the carinae hardly darker than the sides. 



Hab. Kaiholena, Lanai (G. C. Miinro, December, 1916). 

 off Os»unitJnis sandmcensis (Gray). 



This species was originally described from one female in 

 bad condition from ]\[olokai. The present specimens ap])eai- 

 to me to be more distinctly marked and may prove to be dis- 

 tinct, bnt nntil male specimens from Molokai can be procnred 

 and the genitalia examined I consider it better to place them 

 nnder the same name. This species comes near to N. tern/i 

 and X. hoheae.
