(3) Phyllodromia hospes, sp. no v. 



Tota testacea. Frons inter oculos nonnunquam plus minusve obscurata vel rufes- 

 cens. Pronotum paullo latius quam longius, antice angustatum, margine postico rotun- 

 dato. Tegmina testacea, venis testaceis. Alae hyalinae (antice testaceae), venis 

 pallidis. Vena ulnaris 4-ramosa. Abdomen unicolor, testaceum. Lamina supra-analis 

 $ apice obtuso, late levissimeque emarginato ; lamina subgenitalis ampla. $.

 tegminum, 1 1 mm. 



The normal number of branches of the vena ulnaris appears to be 4, but some 

 examples have only 3, and others 5. The left and right wings sometimes differ in the 

 number of branches. The lamina supra-analis is sometimes hardly more than truncate 

 at the apex. 



Hab. Kauai, and Honolulu. Found in houses, and under stones on the plains, 

 and is no doubt an imported species. Herr Brunner has informed us that it is allied to

 greatly ; examples from Molokai are remarkable for their small size, those from Kauai 

 are the largest, examples from Hawaii being on the average intermediate.
