H. compsias Meyr. Forewing greyish white tinged with ochreous, dusted and partially suf¬ 
fused with fuscous; subbasal and inner lines black, waved, conversely edged with pale grey; the outer line 
minutely dentate, bent out below costa and oblique inwards from vein 4; the subterminal whitish preceded by 
fuscous shading; costal area shaded in places with dark brown; orbicular small and white, edged with 
black, oval and oblique; the reniform a white bar swollen above and below, defined internally by black, with 
two white points on its outer edge; hindwing grey, the veins and outer area darker; $ dark brown with bronzy 
reflections; the lines pure white; stigmata connected by a pure white bar above median vein; hindwing darker. 
Hawaii; Kilauea, and Olaa. 
niphadopa. H. tliphadopa Meyr. (10a). Forewing purplish fuscous; the inner and outer lines both indistinct; 
the inner oblique and retracted to inner margin; the outer waved, incurved below vein 4 and bent 
outwards below costa; subterminal dark, obscure; orbicular stigma a small round spot, pure white; reniform 
a small round white spot tinged with ochreous, defined by white marks above, below, and on inner side, 
somewhat in the shape of the letter E; hindwing dark fuscous. Hawaii, Olaa.

white point; reniform edged inwardly by an oblique white bar and sometimes with white dots on its outer edge, pro¬ 
jecting inwards along median vein; hindwing pale, with variable fuscous suffusion, stronger in the costal 
connexa. and terminal areas sometimes whitish; — in ab. connexa ah. nov. the two stigmata are connected by a white streak 
flavisiigma. in lower part of cell, as in compsias — in ab. flavistigma ah. nov. the white of the reniform and soine- 
ignita. times of the orbicular stigma is changed to yellow; in a third form, ab. ignita ah. nov. the basal area, the cell, 
and the space on each side of subterminal line, and the vertex of thorax are tinged with fiery red. Seems 
to be common in Hawaii. 
16. Genus: Maoria gen. nov. 
Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi obliquely porrect, the second segment rough-haired below, 
the third short and smooth; thorax hardly crested; basal segments of dorsum tufted; neuration normal; fore¬
