This specimen agrees fully with Japanese material of the spe- 

 cies before us. It has apparently been recently introduced in Ha- 

 waii, probably from Japan. In 1906 Swezey referred to several 

 Mantid oothecae found in the Hamakua District, Hawaii,*" and at a 

 meeting of the Entomological Society*^ in 1912, Ehrhorn exhibited 

 specimens of oothecae, juvenile and adult of a Japanese mantis. 

 These are certainly referable to the present species. 



In 1910 Kirkaldy iirst records the species correctly from 

 Hawaii as "formerly, reported only from Hamakua and Hilo dis-
