Manoa A'alley. Oahu, Vl, 1901, (W. H. Ashmead), i^, 

 [U. S. N. M.]. 



The adult specimen before us shows a very decidedly intensive 

 coloration, the pale cephalic markings being almost obliterated and 

 the pronotal disk darkened cephalad as well as caudad. 



This introduced species is common at low elevations in the 

 Hawaiian islands. It has apparently been carried by commerce 

 around the world, being now established in North and South 

 America and the West Indies and having been recorded from 

 Australia, India, Alauritius and Nossi Be. 



The established synonymy of this species is Grylhts piistiiUpcs 

 Walker and Gryllodcs poeyi Saussure. Chopard's Gryllodcs siihap- 

 terus is also a synonym, based on a male in the last juvenile instar. 



The species has appeared generally in Hawaiian literature 

 under the synonymic name pocyi.
