brown, ocelli reddish brown. A ring at base and another near apex of second 

 segment, one at base of third, and all the fourth (except extreme base) segment of 

 antennae, dark fuscous. Apex of labium black. A clearer line on anterior two-thirds 

 of pronotum down the middle, clearer also medio-laterally ; rather sparsely punctured 

 with brown, as also on pleura. Scutellum punctured with dark brown on the basal 

 margin and between the keels and the lateral margins. Tegmina and membrane 

 immaculate brownish yellow, veins concolorous. Ambulacra, orifices and legs im- 

 maculate brownish yellow. The whole insect glabrous, shining. Pronotum laterally 

 sinuate, roundedly narrowing laterally in front of the callosity, slightly reflexed in 

 part ; impressed behind the callosity. Antennae with the second and third segments 

 subequal, a trifle longer than the fourth. Labium reaching nearly to the middle of 

 the abdomen, first segment beyond the base of the head. % 6th sternite very obtusely,

This little bug "swarmed in 1900, but was not seen prior to 1897 " (Perkins). It 

 has been described under 8 names and has spread over about the whole of America, 

 and occurs in Ceylon, India, Burma ; Christmas Islands (Indian Ocean) ; South Africa ; 

 Australia, Tahiti and Fiji! I have described the last nymphal instar (1907, P- Haw. 

 E. S. I. 150), which has also with long- and short-winged adults, been figured (1908, 

 P. Linn. Soc. N. S. W.). In Hawaii, O. vincta is found in Cynodon dacty/on, but does 

 not, I think, feed on it.

I have described the final nymph (1907, P. Haw. E. S. i. 151). Dr Perkins has 

 seen this species " feeding on a dead Blattid (which had perhaps died before it was fed 

 upon) " and does not think it catches Lepisma. I have only seen this on Oahu. 



1 The printed label bears the indication "West Maui 4°oo ft.," but no. 357 (on the underside of the card 

 to which the specimen is affixed) refers to " Haleakala 4000 ft.," which is in East Maui.
