II chard — Derma ptera and Orthoptera of Haivaii 315 



Most Hawaiian specimens have the wings reaching only 

 very sHghtly beyond the tegmina, in one male only do the wings 

 show no reduction whatever. The series averages dark and de- 

 pauperate, the females closely similar to the smallest and darkest 

 females in the series before us from Bermuda and Cuba. 



The males have the ultimate abdominal tergite with caudal 

 margin showing no traces of paired projections between the for- 

 ceps, the latter comparatively short and weakly specialized with 

 a minute tooth on the ventro-internal margin just beyond the 

 median point.* 



We find this species first recorded from Hawaii as "Labidura 

 sp. not common""" and later by Perkins as Labidura ictcrica Ser- 

 ville, from "Oahu. Honolulu and in the country" and from alti- 

 tudes of a thousand feet or more.
