June, '21] SWEZEY: Hawaiian insect immigrants 257 



First recorded in July, 1919. Bred from seed of monkeypod tree at Waipio. 

 Oahu. Since then it has been found generally distributed in Honolulu, and as far 

 inland as Castner, about the middle of the Island. Besides the monkeypod, they 

 have been found destroying the seeds of a few other related ornamental trees. This 

 weevil occurs in the Southwestern States and Mexico. 

 Cahndra tattensis Guerin. [Calandrinae] 



The Tahiti coconut weevil was first found at Honaunau, Hawaii in August, 1919. 

 During the same month and in September, it was found at other ports on the lee 

 side of Hawaii, but could not be found on the windward side after considerable 

 search. Apparently it has been present where found for a number of years, but has 

 escaped notice. It is not harmful to the trees as the larvae feed only in the edges 

 of the leaf stalks near the base, and the trees where they were the most numerous 

 were flourishing better than one ordinarily sees. It has not yet been found on any 

 of the other Islands. 

 Slennoinatus musae Marshall. [Cossoninae] 



This weevil was first found in a garden at Kaimuki, a suburb of Honolulu, Feb- 

 ruary 19, 1920. Larvae, pupae and adults were numerous in a decaying banana 

 stump or corm. They have not been found elsewhere as yet. It is a very small 

 species of Cossonid, and has been named as a new species by Dr. Guy A. K. Mar- 

 shall, the description to be published soon. 

 Trogoderma sp. [Dermestidae] 



This Dermestid was first reported in Honolulu in October, 1920, from having 

 been found breeding in large numbers in a box of packages of miscellaneous garden 

 seeds that had remained undisturbed for some months. Specimens were later 

 found in collections dated May and October, 1919. It is probably American, tho 

 the species has not yet been determined. 

 Nitididid beetle. 



Recorded October, 1919, from Haleakala, Maui 

 Clerid beetle. 



Recorded November, 1919, from dead wood, Honolulu.
