Specimens for the above tables were collected in Makiki 

 Valley, Honolulu, March, 1905. 



These tables show the range of variation in length of teg- 

 mina, and that the length of 'tegmina is not in accordance with 

 variations in size of the body of the insect. It also shows pro- 

 portio'nate number of specimens having the different lengths of 

 tegmina. It is seen tha't specimens with short tegmina are much 

 the most numerous in this particular locality; whereas, Mr. Per- 

 kins states that when first it became common around Honolulu 

 about 5 years a'go, there were no shor't-winged forms. 



In the females, when the tegmina are 4.5-6.5 mm. long they 

 extend over 3 or 4 segments of the abdomen, and the wings 

 are slightly shorter; when tegmina are 7.5 mm. long they ex- 

 tend over 6 segmerits of the abdomen, and the wings are i . 5 

 mm. shorter; when the tegmina are 12 mm. long they extend 

 about to the tip of the abdomen, 'and the wings are 2 mm. 

 shorter; when the tegmina are 17-18 mm. long they extend be- 

 yond the tip of the abdomen reaching about to the apex of the 

 femora, and the wings extend about 4-5 mm. beyond the teg- 

 mina, about to the tip of the ovipositor.
