Lepidoptera from the Hawaiian Islands. 33 



internally hj a zigzag greyish line ; a very slender 

 brown-edged pale discal line, irregularly zigzag from 

 costa to second median branch, where it turns abruptly 

 inwards, and then in a slightly concave transverse line 

 to inner margin ; two or three indistinct pale undulated 

 lines (diverging from the inner margin towards the 

 costa) across the basal half ; reniform spot indicated by 

 a few greyish scales at the anterior angle of the cell, and 

 by a small pale-edged black spot at the posterior angle ; 

 fringe pale ochraceous or dull straw-yellow, traversed by 

 a brown stripe ; secondaries greyish brown, with bronze 

 reflections ; costal border whitish, pearly at the base ; 

 fringe stramineous at base, traversed by a greyish brown 

 stripe, and tipped with white ; thorax rather paler than 

 the primaries ; abdomen fuliginous-brown, with whitish 

 hairs at base ; last four segments reddish testaceous at 

 the sides ; primaries below greyish, shining, with 

 cupreous reflections, the interno-basal area whitish, a 

 basi-subcostal spot of ochreous, shading into a diffused 

 discoidal rose-coloured patch ; basal half of costal border 

 crossed by short oblique blackish dashes ; an arched 

 abbreviated pale-edged blackish line from costal margin 

 beyond the cell to the lower radial vein, where it becomes 

 obsolete, the continuation as a greyish stripe being only 

 visible in certain lights ; the wing-surface beyond this 

 line transversely striolated with grey, terminating near 

 the outer margin, as above, in a zigzag diffused line, 

 which indicates the inner limit of the external border ; 

 secondaries whitish, striated with blackish, the costal 

 two-fifths and a diffused interno-median longitudinal 

 streak washed with rosy ferruginous, and crossed by two 

 vague dusky bands limited externally by the two usual 

 dentate-sinuate discal lines, the inner one more defined 

 than the outer, but both of them indistinct, excepting 

 upon the reddish areas ; fringe rather paler than above ; 

 body below dull rosy brown. Expanse of wings, 35 mm. 



A small species for the genus, being, both in size and 

 the outline of the primaries, similar to the species of 

 Cosmophila, though in coloration, pattern, and structure 

 it agrees with tjqjical Gonitis. 



"Apparently very rare. The specimen I send is 

 unfortunately somewhat mutilated in respect of legs and 

 antennae, but otherwise is a good type. I captured it 

 years ago, and have since failed to procure a second
