H. dasuta Hmps. Forewing pale ochreous brown with fuscous speckling and striation; inner and outer dasuta. 
lines represented by black points on veins, the outer by a double series, the inner series being in the inter¬ 
spaces; terminal black points; claviform stigma marked by a black point at its extremity; orbicular a 
rounded ochreous spot; the reniform by an ochreous line on a diffuse blackish lunule, with a white point 
at lower angle of cell; hindwing ochreous brown with the fringes pale. Kona, Hawaii. In this species the base 
of forewing and basal half of hindwing on underside are clothed with rufous hair; the abdomen itself also is 
rough-haired. 
In the next 4 s'pecies the abdomen alone is rough-haired.

fine dark streaks, the interspaces with fine streaks, blackish and more prominent above veins 4, 3, 2; an oblique 
pale fascia from apex to vein 3, the area beyond it darker; terminal black points; fringe intersected 
with white; hinclwing whitish, tinged with fuscous, especially on veins and along termen; fringe whitish; the
