Herse cingnlata. — Air. Bryan reported seeing this cosmo- 

 politan sphinx moth pollinating the flowers of Banhinia spinosa 

 in the Normal School grounds. At about 6:20 one evening 

 about 20 moths were seen hovering about the blossoms and

Kclisia emoloa. — Mr. Swezey exhibited three males and 

 four females of this little Delphacid, collected by him on 

 Eragrostis, at an elevation of 600 feet, on the ridge near the 

 south shore of Kaneohe Bay, March 14, 1920. This is a new 

 locality record for the species, it having been collected pre- 

 viously at Kuliouou and Palolo. 



CJialcis obscurata. — Mr. Swezey reported rearing this parasite 

 from the chrysalids of Pontia rapae. Seven chrysalids were 

 collected on leaves of Capparis sandwicensis, March 3, 1920,

 obscurata and the other two died.

 from each ^gg. 



NcocJytarhis indeccns. — Mr. Bridwell reported rearing adults 

 of this beetle from Smilax twigs from Mt. Kaala, the bulk of 

 the specimens dying within the dry twigs. Two specimens
