320 Mr, A. G. Butler on Nocturnal Lepidoptera 



whitish ; venter transversely banded with grey ; anus yellow- 

 ish. Expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



One specimen, in which the left primary is dwarfed ; it has 

 somewhat the aspect of a Eubolia, as noticed by Mr. Black- 

 burn, but seems to agree better with Scotosia. Mr. Black- 

 burn says : — " I captured two of this, at an elevation of 

 about 4000 feet, on Haleakala, Maui, May 1880. The one sent 

 was just out of pupa when taken ; one side did not expand 

 properly." 



3. Eu2nthecia monticolens, sp. n. (No. 117). 



Very closely allied to E. bilineolata from New Zealand, but 



darker, and with slightly less angular bands. Sordid shining 



greyish white : wings crossed by numerous subparallel undulated 



grey and brown lines, the interspaces between some of which 



are filled in with grey, so as to form fairly well-defined bands ; 



the banding of the primaries is as follows : — two basal irregular 



bands, followed by a line ; then comes the central belt, bounded 



on each side by a band and traversed by two lines ; at the end 



of the cell is a transverse black spot on a scarcely perceptible 



diffused reddish shade ; immediately beyond the central belt 



is a band of almost pure white, traversed by a single line ; a 



submarginal slightly brownish band, the inner line of which 



is black ; outer border grey ; the veins varied with black and 



white, so as to form little black longitudinal dashes upon the 



dark bands : secondaries with a whitish band across the disk 



as in the primaries, but with no distinct dark bands, excepting 



on each side of the whitish one upon the abdominal area : 



body varied with grey ; the abdomen crossed by two subbasal 



and one subanal black band ; between these bands is also a 



dorsal series of fom* black dots. Primaries below greyish 



white ; the discocellulars and the veins just beyond the cell 



black ; apical area broadly bronzy, crossed by two curved 



ill-defined greyish stripes, and with the border of the same 



colour; these markings, however, entirely disappear in 



certain lights : secondaries sordid creamy white ; a curved 



band just beyond the cell, formed entirely by a series of black 



longitudinal dashes on the' veins ; a marginal series of black 



dots : body below white ; legs partly black above. Expanse 



of wings 10-11 lines. 



Two specimens. " Not very rare about 4000 feet up 

 Haleakala, Maui ; I took it also at the summit of the moun- 

 tain, 10,000 feet above the sea" {T. B.).
