Nesopimpla naranyae——Mr. Timberlake called attention to a 
recent paper by Cushman (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 61, Art. 21, 
p. 9, May, 1922) in which /toplectis immigrans 'Timb. is synony- 
mized with Nesopimpla naranyae Ashmead, which was described 
from Japan in 1906. The parasite may possibly be one of those 
introduced by Koebele in 1896, from Japan, and was first col- 
lected on Oahu by Dr. Perkins in 1901. 
Syagrius fulvitarsis—Mr. Fullaway reported the discovery 
of the fern weevil on Maui by Mr. C. S. Judd, Territorial 
Forester, on May 22, 1922. It was found on the Amaumau fern 
on the lower side of Nahiku ditch between Makapipi and Hanawi 
streams for a distance 300 feet along the ditch, and also in one 
spot at Kapaula near the Nahiku camp. Later, the infestation 
was found to extend about a mile between the Government road 
and the ditch, and to points above the ditch. 
A discussion followed concerning the probable means of inter- 
island dispersion of the fern weevil, with the general agreement 
that it must have been carried by travelers to Hilo from Hono- 
lulu, and probably from Hilo to Maui in potted ferns, fern
