A 
is the fly parasitic on Corizus hyalinus, as mentioned in Proc. 
Haw.. Ent. Soc. IV, p. 467, 1921. Dr. Aldrich, in his letter, 
stated that there were no published records as to the host of 
this fly, but that there was a manuscript note of its having 
been reared from Reduviolus ferus. Mr. Swezey further 
reported catching two specimens of it at Kokee, Kauai, 3500 
feet, in August, 1921, which is the first record of its occurrence 
on that island. 

Labidura icterica Serv—Mr. Swezey reported the capture 
of a specimen of this earwig at Grove Farm, Kauai, Septem- 
ber 9, 1921. This immigrant earwig was first recorded in the 
Fauna Hawaiiensis (II, Pt. VI, p. 690, 1910) by Perkins, 
as occurring at Honolulu and in the country. The present 
instance is apparently the first record of its occurrence on 
Kauai.* 
Mylabris sallaei—Mr. Swezey reported finding this weevil 
very abundant in pods of Acacia farnesiana and algaroba at 
Mana and Waimea, Kauai, August 17, and September 3, 1921. 
As many as a dozen exit holes were frequently to be found 
in one pod of A. farnesiana. This is the first record of this 
insect on Kauai. 
Mylabris pruiminus—Mr. Swezey reported collecting this 
weevil in the garden at the Hilo Hotel, July 25, 1921; and 
at Kokee, Kauai, 3500 feet, August, 1921; and in Waimea 
Canyon, Kauai, September. 4, 1921. These are the first records 
of this insect on each of these islands. 
Diocalandra taitensis—Mr. Swezey reported finding this 
coconut weevil in coconuts from Mr. Monsarrat’s beach place 
at Punaluu, Hawaii, August 5, 1921. The adult beetles were 
found beneath the bracts at the base of mature coconuts, and 
larvae were found feeding within the shuck. Dried gum on 
the surface of the shuck indicated where there were larvae 
inside. The nuts themselves were not injured. This indicates 
the probability of this pest having been brought to Hawaii in 
coconuts from the South Seas at some time.

(Pallas) by Morgan Hebard. Bishop Museum, Occasional Papers, vol. 
vii, No. 14, p. 314, 1922. [Ed.]
