Tineid reared from a larval case on an old woolen cap, April 7, 
1922. Several of the cases were found, four of them containing 
larvae. Moths reared from these April 27 to May 1, 1922. This 
moth was recorded in the Fauna Hawatiensis, but collections 
here contain no specimens. The present specimen belongs to 
this species. 
Carabid new to Hawaii—Mr. Timberlake exhibited a small 
Carabid beetle captured by Mr. Muir at Puuloa, Oahu, April 10, 
1922, on the ground among sugar-cane. It is an immigrant not 
heretofore seen here. . 
Glyptocolastes bruchivorus——Mr. Bissell exhibited specimens 
of this Bracconid, reared from Mylabris sallaei in Acacia farne- 
siana, collected on Ewa coral plain, April 21, 1922. This is the 
first recovery of this Bruchid parasite, since its introduction 
from Texas in the summer of 1921. 
Nut grass borers—Mr. Williams mentioned two borers in nut 
grass (Cyperus rotundus), taken in the Philippines. One of the 
borers is the larva of a Tortricid moth, determined by Mr. 
Swezey as belonging to the genus Bactra. The other is the 
larva of a small beetle, apparently related to the “bill bugs” in 
the United States. Both species of larvae bore in the stems and 
the corm, but are not an effective check on the nut grass in the 
Philippines. 
Scutigera straba (Wood), The Hawaiian house centipede.— 
Mr. Bryan gave the following synonymy and note on this 
centipede : 
Cermatia straba Wood, Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., (2), V, 
pe Lis, L862. 
Scutigera straba Silvestri, Fauna Hawaiiensis, III, p. 323, 
1904. 
A specimen was captured in the Bishop Bank, April 29, and 
presented to the Bishop Museum by Mr. Garvie, teller. It fits 
the description of this, the only Scutigera recorded from 
Hawaii, a translation of the description of which follows: 
_“Fétruginous Cermatia (Scutigera) ; single median line; head 
broad, densely, minutely punctated, and appendages sparsely 
pilose ; broad and long longitudinal depressions in the middle and
