Sharp again mentions the s])ec'ies in Fanna Ilawaiiensis, 

 Iir. p 049, 1910. '•Oalnu X. W. Koolan Range, April. 1901,

 CalUtJnnysiis m/'icrogastcr. Thry ('(iuk', 1 l)('lieve, from three 

 different spots on Oahn, and seem to indicate the probable ex- 

 istence of local races." 



Perkins in his paper on "The Insects of Tantalns'', Proc. 

 Haw. Ent. Soc, I, p. 4."). 19(»(;, states that C. mirrotjasicr oc- 

 cnrs on Bohea. He says, "I lia\c taken niicror/astei' in May, 

 Jinie and Xovemher. The larvae T have taken in nnmhers but 

 the beetles rarely and singly". 



At the September 191."] meeting of the Hawaiian Entomo- 

 logical Society, Mr. Giifard exhibited a specimen of C. micro- 

 gastev which had been given him by ]\[r. Koeliele. (Proc. 

 Haw. Ent. Soc, III, p. 14, 1914). 



Recently, I have had the good fortune to rear a specimen 

 of this beautiful beetle. In a fallen tree of Perrottetla sandivi- 

 censis blocking the Cooke Trail a little l)elow the Pauoa Flats, 

 on January 12, 1919, I found several Oerambycid larvae. I 

 cut out a section of the tree about ten inches long and three 

 inches in diameter, containing a larva which seemed to be 

 nearly full-grown. ] ])laced this in a glass jar in the laboratory 

 at the Experiment Station, and had an occasional look to see 

 how the larva was getting on. It continued eating and migrat- 

 ing round in the outer layer of wood just beneath the bark. 

 On Felu'uary 19, it was found to have burrowed deeper into 

 the wood ; and on March 25, a fine adult beetle was found 

 moving about in the jar. From Dr. Sharp's characterization 

 of the variety, this would be var. hirtipe.9. This is not far from 

 where I)r. Perkins collected his specimen of lihiipes on Bohea.
