mens of this fly, and masses of its pupa cases. He called atten- 
tion to its peculiar habit of pupation, consisting of forming its 
puparia among the hair on the carcass of its host, so near to- 
gether that, after their emergence, the holes resemble honey- 
comb. 
Scymnus sp—Mr. Timberlake reported the discovery of a 
new Coccinellid, which has been confused in collections with the 
so-called Rhysobius ventralis, which it resembles in size and 
coloration. This species agrees in many respects with the Aus- 
tralian species Scymnus varipes (Blackburn), but is apparently 
distinct. It is almost unquestionably one of the species intro- 
duced by Koebele years ago from Australia, and may have been 
confused at the time of introduction with the so-called ventralis. 
The specimens exhibited were all taken in the mountains back 
of Honolulu from Pacific Heights and Konahuanui to Kuliouou. 
The earliest collected specimen seen was taken January 1, 1905, 
on Tantalus, by Mr. Giffard. 
Lindorus sp.—Mr. Timberlake called attention to the fact that 
the Coccinellid, passing under the name of Rhyzobius ventralis 
in both California and the Hawaiian Islands, is evidently not 
the species described by Erichson. Both it and the true ven- 
tralis belong to the genus Lindorus. 
Sinoxylon conigerum.—Mr. Fullaway exhibited specimens of 
this beetle, which is doing damage to lead cables on the islands 
of Maui and Hawaii. 
Epagoge infaustana.—Mr. Swezey exhibited a series of this 
Tortricid moth, reared frony larvae on Pipturus, collected in 
Makaleha Valley, January 8, 1922. Dr. Perkins collected this 
moth abundantly on Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Hawaii, but not 
on Oahu. Mr. Swezey had previously reared a few specimens 
from larvae boring in the tips of twigs of Pipturus on Tantalus. 
One tree was found in Makaleha Valley on which were hun- 
dreds of the larvae. They were feeding on the leaves, skeletoniz- 
ing them, and hiding in webbed-together leaves at the tip, or a 
bit of the turned-over edge. They pupated in similar places. A 
score or so of leaves with larvae were collected, and from these 
twenty-two moths issued January 19 to 28, and two of the para-
