The caterpillars of this moth are known as the cotton boll 
worm and corn ear worm in thé Southern States; but in Hawaii 
they have not been recorded as injurious to these plants. Mr. 
Swezey reported that he tried the above caterpillars on green 
sweet corn and the corn was voraciously eaten by them. It is 
not understood why corn in the field has not been reported 
attacked by these caterpillars. The fact that they are so highly 
parasitized as above, indicates that they are sufficiently controlled 
by the Tachinids. No doubt the eggs are also somewhat attacked 
by Peniarthron flavum. 
Gitonides perspicax Knab and Titanochaeta ichneumon \nab. 
—hMr. Swezey mentioned for record that these two flies had 
been described by Knab in Ins. Inse. Menstruus in 1914 from 
specimens sent him by Swezey. These had escaped being entered 
in Hawaiian literature. 
Monopis meliorella (Walk.) and Crypsithyris enixa Meyrick. 
—Mr. Swezey exhibited these two moths which he had had 
determined by Mr. Meyrick, from specimens sent him recently. 
They had been collected in Kaimuki by Timberlake and Swezey, 
and are immigrants of which this is the first record. 
Megastigmus sp.—Mr. Fullaway reported the capture, Feb- 
ruary 13, 1922, on the window of the laboratory at Government 
Nursery of a species of Megastigmus. Some of the species ot: 
this genus of Chalcid flies are seed-eating in the larval state. 
Introduced Staphylinid—Mr. Fullaway reported also the re- 
covery on February 12, 1922, at Moanalua Dairy of the Staphy- 
linid, Creophilus erythrocephalus, introduced by Mr. Illingworth 
from Australia in September, 1921, and since multiplied and 
distributed in the Territory. 
Recently determined Coleoptera—Mr. Fullaway also reported 
receiving the following identifications of introduced Coleoptera 
from Mr. G. E. Bryant of the British Museum. 
Carabidae. 
Bembidium sp. 
Perigona nigriceps (De}j.). 
Hydrophilidae. 
Cercyon sp.
