Two very desirable species viz.: P. siilphiirescciis and /''. 

 viciniis, captured in these forest regions by Dr. Perkins, were 

 not observed and have yet to be re-taken in this and adjacent 

 country. No examples of either of these last-named species 

 arc in local collections. P. sulpliurcsccns is said to be attached 

 to a S])ecies of Urcra, and P. ricijiits to a species of Pelea. 



While the series of P. vilticoUis exhibited were undoubt- 

 edly attached to a Perrottctia t when captured, yet this species 

 has been taken before, somewhere in the neighborhood of 

 Kilauea, on akala ( Riibiis inacracil, and is so recorded. Fur- 

 ther observation of Rnbiis /ia:^'aiicitsis and Riibus uiacraci 

 should be made by those who search for our native longicorns 

 in and around Kilauea. 



At Kilauea, P. i\irians, P. bilincatiis, and P. darzciiiianiis 

 appear to be the most common of all the species in the region, 

 although most of the others are not uncommon when the trees 

 to which they are attached are found to be in the right con- 

 dition for attack. Heretofore /'. pcrkinsi, P. ritlicollis, P. 

 i:;iffardi. and P. lamarckianus have been found by the writer to 

 be the least abundant in individuals. No doubt the rare P. 

 sulphnrcsccns and P. I'iciniis will l)e taken in similar mimbers
