Elongate setae present on the posterior surface of fore tibia. The legs are yellow except for brown coxae and terminal portions of the last tarsi (see Fig. 2 b). Wings are lightly infuscated with a brown marking apically, which extends from cell R1 to halfway through cell R4+5 (see Fig. 3 d). The thorax is brown, and the abdomen is almost entirely dark brown, with the last tergite being yellow. Types . HAWAI‘I: Holotype ɗ (BPBM 6337) Upper Ōla‘a Forest, viii.1952 , DEH ( Evenhuis 1982 ).

Distribution. This species is endemic to the island of Hawai‘i. Behavior. Speith (1966:272). Ecology. This species has been reared from leaves of Cheirodendron trigynum (Araliaceae) ( Heed 1968 ; Mangan 1978 ). Illustrations.
