 This species was first seen in Honolulu in 1897, but had become common and 

 generally spread over Oahu by 1900. It is now common in the lowlands of all the 

 islands, the brown ^<g^ masses being very conspicuous on Saccharum officinarum. 

 Hibiscus rosasinensis, Citrus aurantiiwi etc. In the younger stages, it feeds on 

 Aphids, young leafhoppers etc., but the adult preys on several very destructive beetles 

 as well, though sometimes becoming injurious by sucking Coccinellids. It is apparently 

 distributed over the Western States (California, Arizona etc.) and Mexico. 

 Swezey' and I'- have contributed to the knowledge of the life-history.

This has been taken by Koebele and Perkins around labourers' huts on certain 

 Oahuan plantations. It is a native of Brazil, the Antilles etc., but has become 

 distributed over the Philippines, China, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Ceylon, Andamans, 

 India, West Africa and Madagascar.
