Hab. Oahu, Waianae mts. ; Molokai. On "poha" or "cape gooseberry" — a 

 plant which has no precinctive insect attached to it. 



Mr Jacoby has examined some of our specimens of this insect, and informs me 

 that they are not to be distinguished from E. parvula, a species widely distributed 

 in Central America and the Antilles. The species was not found by Mr Blackburn 

 and has probably been recently introduced. 



Fam. BRUCHIDAE. 



Bruchus L.

Species of this family are doubtless occasionally carried to islands with peas and 

 beans, or other seeds. Mr Perkins has brought back two or three specimens found 

 at Honolulu.
