from the Hawaiian Islands. 331 



cream-colour ; abdomen silvery white, anal tuft testaceous ; 

 tarsi black above, banded with white. Under surface uniformly 

 silvery white. Expanse of wings 8 lines. 



Two specimens. Mauna Kea, Hawaii ; elevation about 

 7000 feet. 



19. Scoparia jucunda, sp. n. (No. 82). 



Allied to the preceding, but with somewhat the aspect of 

 Tinea nigralhella ; primaries above sericeous white, with a very 

 slight bluish tinge, adorned witli black markings as follows 

 — a dentate sinuate band close to the base, an irregular patch 

 across the cell interrupted transversely by two spots of the 

 ground-colour and terminating below the median vein in a 

 curved line, which runs along nearly a fourth of the inner 

 margin, an oblique streak beyond the cell and a zigzag mark- 

 ing (which may, in some specimens, be continuous with the 

 latter) at external angle, an apical patch interrupted by two 

 oblique stripes of the ground-colour and a marginal series of 

 dots ; secondaries shining sordid white ; head and thorax 

 white, slightly bluish ; abdomen shining pale brown, with tes- 

 taceous anal tuft. Under surface sordid silvery white. Ex- 

 panse of wings 8| lines. 



One specimen. Mauna Kea, Hawaii ; elevation about 

 7000 feet. 



Var. formosa (No. 130). 



Much more heavily marked than the preceding, the black 

 markings on the primaries being broad and intense in colour- 

 ing, the patch across the cell altered in shape so as almost to 

 resemble the Greek U, the outer extremity uniting with the 

 oblique streak beyond the cell ; shoulders and back of collar 

 black. Expanse of wings 9 lines. 



One specimen. Found " occasionally on trunks of trees, at 

 an elevation of about 4000 feet on Haleakala, Maui." 



This can at most be no more than a local modification of 

 the preceding {H. jucimda) ', it, however, reminds one rather 

 oi. Fsecadia pusilla than of Tinea nigralhella. 



20. Scoparia frigida^ sp. n. (Nos. 67 and 81). 



Nearly allied to 8. rakaiensis of New Zealand, but much 

 smaller, with slightly different pattern on the primaries and no 

 broad border to the secondaries : primaries above shining 

 brownish grey irrorated with white; an acutely angulated black- 

 edged white line across the basal third ; three white-edged 

 abbreviated longitudinal black lines at the base ; several 

 scattered black spots in the cell, the largest of these being
