 rather unpleasant scent. Mountains of Oahu." — T. B.

 Tinea lonrjella, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 479 (1863). 



One specimen. Honolulu. 



The type of this species was from Northern India ; and a 

 second example from South Africa was recently recognized by

 taken by Mr. Gooch, and now forming part of the collection 

 of the South-African Museum. The only difterence between 

 these specimens (apart from size) is in the colour of the head, 

 which in the African specimen is distinctly orange-yellow,
