strigulae on costa posteriorly becoming confluent and running to 
terrnen below apex ; some minute black marks on terrnen edged 
white scales anteriorly : cilia pale bluish-grey, round apex and on

2 • 16 mm. Head, palpi, thorax ochreous-whitish. Forewings 
moderate, slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, terrnen

Hawaiian Is., Oahu, Waialua (Dr. R. 0. L. Perlcins) ; 1 ex. 
This species is almost certainly introduced with some leguminous 
plant, and is probably of Asiatic origin, but is not at present known 
to me elsewhere.
