be a peculiar form of Orthoptera.* As Mr. Morgan Hebard 
has recently been revising the Hawaiian Orthoptera, the re- 
mainder of the specimens of this insect collected at the same 
time, have been sent to him for study. 
Tenodera sinensis—Mr. Swezey reported that Mr. Mein- 
ecke, of the Territorial Normal School, had reported to him 
of the occurrence of this preying mantis at Hilea, Kau, Hawaii, 
in 1920. This is believed to be the first record of its occur- 
rence in that section of Hawaii. 
Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius.— Mr. Timberlake 
exhibited specimens of this parasite reared from the males of 
Phenacaspis eugeniae, collected at Kohala, Oahu, October 23, 
1921, by Mr. Ehrhorn. This species, although it has never been 
collected here before, has been in the islands probably for many 
years, as Mr. Ehrhorn has observed exit holes of a parasite 
in the male scales of Phenacaspis at various times since arriv- 
ing in Honolulu in 1909. 
Euscepes batatae—Mr. Swezey stated that some pieces of 
dead Japanese morning glory vine, containing larvae, which 
were brought in by Mr. Ehrhorn, produced ten adults of the 
sweet potato weevil and three adults of Oxvydema fusiforme. 
Pseudococcus swezeyt EKhrhorn.—Mr. Whitney reported that 
this scale insect had been found on Dianella odorata by O. H. 
Swezey at Kokee, Kauai, August 19, 1921; and on the Ilima 
plant by Mr. Ehrhorn at Waikapu Gulch, Wailuku, Maui, 
October 12, 1921. ‘These are the first records of this species 
from these two islands. He stated that it was first described 
by Ehrhorn from specimens collected between folded leaves of 
Acacia koa from Mt. Tantalus, Oahu, by Swezey, December 
sl O15: 
Pseudococcus maritimus Ehrhorn, on various garden crops. 
Pseudococcus comstocki Kuwana, on apple and pear. 
Mr. Whitney reported that specimens of these scales had 
been sent from Nelson, New Zealand, by Mr. R. J. Tillyard, 
and that this is the first record of their occurrence there. He 
* This insect proved to be a representative of the Order Zoraptera, 
and this is the first record of any such occurring here. [Ed.]
