middle, anteriorly broadly margined with dark fuscous ; a terminal row 

 of dark fuscous spots between the veins, preceding this a pale fuscous 

 streak ; cilia whitish, dark fuscous at base. 



Very closely allied to O. blackbiirni . The pattern of the wings is the 

 same ; but this species is in general distinctly ferruginous colored, and 

 the sexes are only slightly different; often the markings of the wings of 

 males are less distinct than those of the females. The males of blackbiirni 

 have a suffusion of dark fuscous in fore wings, whereas the males of this 

 species have a suffusion of ferruginous in fore wings. The hind wings 

 of this species in both sexes are darker fuscous than those of blackburni, 

 and the postmedian line is distinctly nearer the termen. 



I take pk»asiire in dedicating this species to Mr. E. Meyrick, 

 whose valuable work on the Lepidoptera of the Hawaiian Islands, 

 in Fauna Hawaiiensis, is indispensable to a student of the 

 Macrolepidoptera of these islands. 



Quite a series of both sexes of this moth, I reared from cater- 

 pillars collected at Honomu, Hawaii. Several broods of them
