Uscana semifumipennis, in Texas and India.—Mr. Timber- 
lake reported on identifying this common Bruchid parasite from 
srownsville, Texas, from the eggs of Mylabris sallaci, in the 
material collected by Mr. Bridwell and brought to Honolulu 
by Mr. Willard. Mr. Fullaway also obtained the same species 
in India, the specimens having been given to him by Mr. 
Subramaniam. These were reared from eggs of Mylabris 
chinensis in stored cajanus at Bangalore, July 8, 1920. 
Megachile timberlaket.—Mr. ‘Timberlake reported on an- 
other nest of this bee collected by Mr. Ehrhorn at Kahala on 
July 10. The nest was built inside the frame of a door lock, 
and was made of Bougainvillea leaves and colored bracts, the 
female using the keyhole as the natural entrance and exit. 
On about July 31 to August 3, four females and eight males 
issued from the nest. 
Correction of records of Plagithmysine beetles—Mr. Tim- 
berlake called attention to the following lapses in recent num- 
bers of the Proceedings. 
In the Proceedings, vol. 3, p. 384, 1918, Mr. Bridwell 
recorded a Plagithmysus acuminatus, taken in Wailupe Valley, 
Oahu, on Sapindus. This name is a clerical error for P. 
cuneatus Sharp. In vol. 4, p. 50, a Clytarlus vestitus was 
recorded from Olinda, Maui, by Fullaway and Giffard. This 
is another clerical error, and the species in question is Neocly- 
tarlus modestus (Sharp).
