Hab. Waiiiiea, Kanai (Swezey, Febniary). A distinct 

 variety of this from Lihne, Kauai (Swezey, March) is much 

 lighter in color and has the markings on tegmina forming an 

 irregular V-shape mark over middle, and a large area dark at 

 apex. The brown of this variety is tinged with red ; the aedea- 

 gus is near to kauaiensis, the crook not so curved and without 

 the little spines; the granulations on tegmina hardly per- 

 ceptible.

I regret that lack of time and material ]-)rcvcnts me from 

 making a more detailed study of this very interesting group, 

 for here, I feel sure, we have species in formation. I refrain 

 for the present from making these into species because it is 

 highly probable that intermediate forms will turn up. 



o. L. ohiae (Kirk.). 



This is a light form of lehuae, the females being almost im- 

 maculate and tinged with red; the male I associate with them is 

 slightly fuscous on tegmina over base, middle and apex of clavus 

 and median portion of apical area. The aedeagus has the crook at 

 apex at 45 degrees to main body and with its apex swollen; a small 

 spine at right side before apex and a small blunt spine at apex. 

 This latter character is found in some species of Nesodryas. Speci- 

 mens under this name are from Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai.

4. L. oceanides (Kirk.), 



I have seen only one female specimen of this species ; it 

 is distinguished by the white granulations on the veins of 

 tegmina. 



5. L. pad flea (Kirk.). 



I have seen no specimens of this species.
