 Jt is well known to l)o poljphagous. Several other .s])eciiiieiis 

 were taken by him from Euphorbia in ^lanoa Valley. These 

 rre of the paler form, and hardly differ from slii>litly t'aihMl 

 exam])les of var. cltryseis. One of the males is much lai'ucr 

 than the other. I have great doubt whether P. in i mm us is 

 more than a depauperated form of this same species. 



XOTES AXD EXniBITIOAS. 



Clcfid beetle. — Mr. Pemberton exhibited specimens of a 

 s])eeies of Cleridae taken by him on dead wood of Monkey-pod 

 tree (San)unea sammi) brought to the Expei-iment Station, 

 II. S. P. A., from their forestry nursery near Vineyard Street 

 r.nd Nunann. The species is apparently a previously unre- 

 coi'ded innnigrant. 



BostrijcJiid beetle. — Mr. Bridwell exhibited specimens of 

 an nndetermined Bostrychid taken from a packing case in 

 which cigars had been imported from [Xfanila. The species 

 does not seem to have become established. ^Iv. Ehrhorn re- 

 called taking a beetle nnder similar conditions, and exandna- 

 tion of specimens showed this to be the same species. The 

 box was made of a native Philijipine Avood which ^Ir. J. F. 

 pock considered as ])robal)ly a species of tropical cedar. A 

 genei'al discussion of the introduction of insects in commerce 

 other than those articles subject to plant (piarantine inspection 

 followed. 



Celerio s])."' — Mr. Bryan exhibited a specimen of an un- 

 described endemic species of the Sphingid genus Celerio taken 

 by him on the ascent from Mauoa Valley to Pauoa Flats, 

 Oahu, Octobei- r)th, 1 !»!!». The only specimens of this >pecies 

 lieretofore known arc a vci'v iiinch nibbc(| specimen taken l»v
