19 
feet, a large ant lion, Formicaleo wilsoni McLach. was caught. 
Vhese were plentiful flying about over pasture lands. At the 
old Purdy place, Odonaspis ruthae Kotinsky, were feeding on 
the roots of Manienie grass. At the new dairy, altitude 3200 
feet, Olinda bugs were attacking and seriously damaging the 
foliage of a native tree, Sophora chrysophylla. It is claimed 
that many of these trees are killed by this defoliation. At an 
altitude of 3000 feet, Heliothrips hemorrhoidalis was damaging 
the young leaves of Eucalyptus trees. This species is quite 
abundant in the forest areas of the various islands, and has 
probably been here many years. 
On August 4, with Mr. Swezey, in cane field at Olaa (above 
Mountain View), were observed many nymphs of Cyrtorhinus 
mundulus, which was introduced last year by Mr. Muir, and 
which has spread considerably since liberation. 
August 6, Mr. Swezey found Hilo grass at Kapapala ranch 
badly infested with Trionymus insularis. The Tahiti coconut 
weevil Diocalandra taitensis (Guer.), previously reported by 
Mr. Swezey from the Kona section, was also found. These 
were in the husk near base of nut. The nuts were from the 
coast at Punaluu. 
On August 9, indications of the work of the Tahiti coco- 
nut weevil were found at Puuiki and near the shore at Kala- 
pana. The trees were so high that no weevils were found. 
‘The cane borer was found in the heart of a coconut tree, the 
stump of which had rotted. 
It was noted that the Mediterranean fruit fly was not 
serious at Wainaku, there being good amounts of strawberry 
guavas, coffee, and other small fruits there. 
At the Hilo Hotel a number of the Australian lacewings 
were captured, and Mr. Swezey collected a number of the 
new green grasshopper, which is very abundant about the lights 
on the hotel lanai. No males were observed, although some 
young were seen on plants in the garden.
