56o FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(5) Nesophrosyne maritima, sp. nov. 



$. Head and scutellum pale yellowish brown ; pronotum and tegmina pale greenish, 

 subcostal and apical cells hyaline, second apical faintly smoky ; veins on apical half of 

 tegmina and some on the basal half, more or less dark fuscous, some more or less 

 suffused, especially at their apices. Beneath and the legs, whitish. Vertex scarcely 

 produced in front of eyes, transversely impressed anteriorly. 



?. Head and scutellum pale creamy, sometimes suffused with yellowish ; ovipositor 

 pale ferruginous ; seventh sternite sinuate, very minutely notched medianly. Otherwise 

 like the male. Length 3^ — 4 mm. 



Nymph : $ pale yellowish ferruginous, irregularly suffused. Vertex with two 

 black specks close to the middle ; four specks on the top of the head in an arched row. 

 Pronotum with four specks in two sublateral rows and another on each side under the 

 eyes. Mesometanotum with about a dozen rather irregular specks. 



Hab. Oahu : Waianae Coast (Perkins, 781, Jan. 2 exx.) : Makua (Perkins coll.). 



(6) Nesophrosyne gouldiae, sp. nov. 



t- Whitish ; claval veins (mostly) suffusedly, and two blotches on the apical 

 third, inwardly, of the tegmen, dark brownish ; wings hyaline. Sometimes the rest of 

 the hopper is whitish, sometimes the base of the vertex and the disk of the pronotum 

 irregularly, dark brownish, with a faint fuscous grill, scarcely apparent laterally. Some- 

 times the tegmina are more darkly suffused, but always only on the interior half. 

 Vertex obtuse-angled in front of the eyes, scarcely longer than its basal width, some- 

 what flat. 



%. Immaculate (practically) whitish ; ovipositor sheath fuscous. Vertex more 

 convex. Length J 4^, % 5 mm. 



This has very much the appearance of N. perkinsi, but beyond the difference in 

 habitat and foodplant, the vertex is convex and not impressed transversely anteriorly, 

 and is also longer, while the size is greater ; in perkinsi the shorter head is distinctly 

 flattened and impressed in front of the ocelli. The type is a Tantalus specimen. 



Hab. Oahu, Tantalus, 1400 ft. (Sept., Terry and Perkins) on Gouldia sp. ; 

 Palolo, 1400 ft. (Kirkaldy) on Gouldia. 



(7) Nesophrosyne pipttiri, sp. nov. 



Sexes almost monomorphic. Head and underside whitish, ocelli honey yellow. 

 Eyes greyish black ; a brownish black speck on the tempora. Pronotum and scutellum 

 pale testaceous, the latter whitish posteriorly. Tegmina subhyaline, somewhat milky, 

 pattern obscure, a faint St Andrew's cross on the clavi when closed. Subcostal cell
