Pyralidina of the Hawaiian Islands. 245 
with whitish. Palpi dark grey, sprinkled with white towards 
base. Antenne grey, ciliations in male two-thirds. Abdomen 
whitish-grey. Legs dark grey, middle and posterior tibiz suffused 
with white. Fore wings elongate, narrow, posteriorly gradually 
dilated, costa slightly arched, apex rounded, hind margin very 
obliquely rounded; vein 5 absent (coincident with 4), 9 absent 
(coincident with 8); ochreous-grey, slightly sprinkled with whitish ; 
a moderate costal streak suffused with white from base to near 
apex, posteriorly attenuated; first line straight, rather thick, 
cloudy, darker grey, sometimes preceded by a few white scales, 
from one-fourth of costa to two-fifths of inner margin; a small 
cloudy darker grey discal spot at two-thirds ; second line very 
indistinct or obsolete, straight, slender, grey, followed by a few 
whitish scales, from costa near before apex to four-fifths of inner 
margin; cilia ochreous-grey sprinkled with white. Hind wings 
with veins 3 and 4 approximated, 5 absent, 8 absent; whitish-grey, 
thinly sealed; a cloudy dark grey hind-marginal line; cilia 
whitish, with an indistinct grey line. 
Five specimens. Closely allied and very similar 
superficially to an undescribed species from New Zealand, 
and also to the Australian H. vagella; it is best dis- 
tinguished by the absence of vein 5 of the fore wings, 
which is present in both these species. 
20. GENOPHANTIS, 0. g. 
Forehead with projection of scales. Ocelli present. Tongue 
well-developed. Antenne three-fourths, in male —?. Labial 
palpi rather long, obliquely ascending, second joint thickened with 
dense tolerably appressed scales, terminal joint short. Maxillary 
palpi moderate, loosely scaled. Fore wings with veins 4 and 5 
approximated, 7 absent, 8 and 9 stalked. Hind wings 12; vein 3 
closely approximated to 4, 4 and 5 stalked, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 free, 
closely approximated to 7 from angle of cell to beyond middle, 
lower median strongly pectinated. 
Although the male is unknown, the genus appears 
sufficiently distinct. The free vein 8 of hind wings 
separates it from all but the Anerastia group ; in this it 
most approaches Crocydopora, and it 1s not improbable 
that the antenne of male will show similar characters 
(basal tuft and sinuation), but differs in the presence of 
vein 5 of the fore wings, and in the maxillary palpi.
