synonym, is a hyper-parasite of Aphids and in Hawaii attacks Ephedrus 

 incoyu'pletus and Diaeretus chenopodiaphidis. Encyrtus infelix, 

 Embleton, which was wrongly determined by Ashmead as Encyrtus 

 fuscus, How. , is parasitic on Saissetia hemisphaerica, Targ. Dinocampus 

 terminatus, Nees, of which Perilitus americanus, Riley, and Euphorus 

 sculptus, Cress., are synonyms, was probably introduced from North 

 America with Ollu abdominalis, Say, but now usually attacks another 

 Coccinelhd, Coelophora inaeqvalis, F. The^ Aphelinid, Prococcophagus 

 orientcdis, How., which has been variously recorded in local literature 

 as Coccophagus orientalis, Aneristus sp. and A. ceroplastae, is one 

 of the most efficient Coccid parasites in Hawaii, with a wide range of 

 hosts.

The probable evolution of the species of Psylhds found in Hawaii 

 is discussed. A synopsis of the genera is given and a key to the species 

 occurring in the Islands.

Pseudopteroptrix iniitatrix, gen. et sp. n., is described, having been 

 bred from the scales, HovMrdia biclavis and Aspidioius rapax. It is 

 compared with Pteroptrichoides perhinsi, Fullaway, bred in 1913 

 from Leucaspis indica (?) on a Bombay mango, and, since then, from 

 Morganella longispina.

No Bruchid is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, but various species 

 have become established there and several have been intercepted in 

 quarantine. A key is given to the species found in Hawaii, which 

 include : Bruchus obtectus, Say (common bean bruchus) ; B. chinensi^, 

 L. (cowpea bruchus) ; B. quadrimaculatus, F. (four-spotted bean 

 bruchus) ; B. prosopis, Lee. (mesquite or algaroba bruchus) ; Pachy- 

 merus {Caryoborus) gonagra, F. (tamarind bruchus) ; B. pruininus, 

 Horn ; an undetermined species closely related to B. ornatus, Boh., 

 which is referred to in this paper as the Dolichos weevil ; and a 

 small species perhaps identical with Spermophagus {Zabrotes) pectoralis, 

 Sharp. Besides these, B. pisorum, L., and B. rufimanus. Boh., occur 

 frequently in imported peas [Pisum sativum) and broad or horse 

 beans (Vicia faba). 



Bruchus 2iruinimis was swept from beneath bushes of Leucaena glauca, 

 and has since been bred in large numbers from its seeds. Eggs of this 

 species have also been found dep^osited upon the seeds of indigo 

 (Indigofera anil) and attacking the seeds of Sesbania sesban in the open. 

 In California it is recorded as breeding in the seeds of the desert 

 iron wood [Olneya tesota), black locust {Robinia pseudacacia) and
