NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 
Supella supellectilium—This cockroach, exhibited by Mr. 
Timberlake, was first captured by him about April or May, 
1921, and sent to Mr. Morgan Hebard of Philadelphia for 
determination. Mr. Hebard states that it is a cosmopolitan 
species previously unknown in Hawaii. 
Parandra puncticeps Sharp.—Mr. Giffard exhibited thirty- 
eight adult specimens, and a number of preserved larvae and 
pupae of this beetle, which were collected at twenty-nine miles, 
Olaa, Hawaii, at an elevation of 3800 feet. 
Vl Dirhinus giffardi.—Mr. Fullaway exhibited a specimen of 
this parasite collected on a manure pile at Waialae in Sep- 
tember, 1921. He stated that this parasite, introduced as a 
parasite of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, is undoubtedly estab- 
lished here, and is probably a general parasite of Diptera. 
Dermestid larva—Mr. Fullaway exhibited a living Der- 
mestid larva feeding on a pinned insect specimen. Mr. Giffard 
stated that he had noticed holes made by these larvae through 
the sides of cardboard insect boxes, in which the supply of 
naphthalene had become low, but that a good supply of naptha- 
lene was sufficient to prevent their entry. 
Caccodes debilis—Mr. Swezey reported having collected a 
specimen of this Malacodermid beetle from Euphorbia in Tao 
Valley, Maui, July 8, 1920. This is the first record of this
