from the Hawaiian Islands. 327 



and one at the inferior extremity of the cell ; pectus shining 

 silvery white 5 legs dull red, banded with black and white ; 

 venter white towards the base, but red towards the anal ex- 

 tremity. Expanse of wings 11 lines. 



Two specimens of this beautiful little species. According 

 to Mr, Blackburn it is " common, at an elevation of about 

 4000 feet, on Haleakala, Maui ; generally flying over ferns." 



I am extremely doubtful as to the affinities of this species. 

 Although in structure it seems to agree with Aporodes, it has 

 much the aspect of a Noctuid allied to Acantholipes ; the dis- 

 tinct orbicular and reniform spots and the highly coloured 

 under surface are by no means characteristic of typical Her- 

 cynidae.

" The specimen sent was brought to me dead ; and I could 

 do nothing with it but gum it on a card. After an interval of 

 nearly two years I procured a second specimen in fine condi- 

 tion at light. The specimens are so absolutely identical that 

 you will not hesitate to treat the somewhat unsightly one I 

 send as a type. Both were taken in Honolulu." — T. B. 



The species is very widely distributed, being found also in 

 Java and Sumatra. It ought to be common, if one may judge 

 by the abundance of some of the allied species. 



Botidida;. 



13. Anemosa aurora^ sp. n. (No. 143). 



Allied to " Scopida " daiclesalis of Walker*, but much 

 smaller : primaries above bright rose-colour, with a slight 

 lilac reflection ; the ordinary lines very indistinct but ochra- 

 ceous ; fringe golden ochreous tipped with whitish : secon- 

 daries shining golden ochreous, paler towards the abdominal 

 border, whitish on the costal border, slightly gre}'ish at apex ; 

 a marginal series of minute black dots between the veins ; 

 fringe tipped with white : body dark ochraceous, the thorax and 

 posterior segments of the abdomen washed with lake-red ; 

 margins of abdomen silvery. Wings below cream-colour, with 

 golden reflections : primaries with whitish internal border ; 

 costal margin rose-colour ; an oblique annular oval marking 

 representing the reniform spot and a diffused arched line be- 



* The genus Anemosa differs from Scapula in its considerably longer 

 palpi and acute primaries.
