193 
large Bostrychid beetle sent in by Mr. William Searby, May 22. 
It had issued from an oak table. Another beetle had issued 
from this table a short time previously and had been destroyed. 
This is a California beetle which attacks live oak, maul oak, 
eucalyptus, and almond. It has not been taken previously in 
Hawaii. 
Chaetospila elegans.—Mr. Swezey reported finding this para- 
site in a small package of sorgham seed infested with Calendra 
oryzae at his house in Kaimuki. The package was what was left 
from planting and had been undisturbed for about six weeks. 
When examined October 28, it was found to be badly infested 
with the weevils, many adults being present. Sixteen adults of 
the parasite were secured; also a brachypterous Anthocorid bug 
not seen before. 
Holcobius glabricollis—Mr. Swezey exhibited this Anobiid 
and reported that fourteen beetles had issued from branches of 
dead koa tree brought in by Mr. Williams from the Manoa 
cliffs trail, Tantalus, August 29, 1920. In the Fauna Hawaii- 
ensis, this beetle is recorded as scarce, a very few specimens 
having been taken on Haleakala, Maui, by Mr. Blackburn, and 
on Oahu by Dr. Perkins. In both instances on koa trees. Pos- 
sibly it is attached to this tree. 
Chrysomyia dux Esch. in Australia——Mr. Bryan exhibited a 
male specimen of this Muscid fly, which was captured at Port 
Hacking near Sydney, November 4, 1914, by Musgrave; and 
which was loaned to the Bishop Museum for examination by 
the Australian Museum at Sydney. 
Holocompsa fulva Burm.—Mr. Bryan exhibited another spec- 
imen of this little roach, which was captured in Hilo on dry 
moss by Mr. Matthias Newell. Mr. Illingworth stated that Mr. 
Newell had observed this roach as common about Hilo for a 
number of years. 
Diocaiandra taitensis Guer.—Mr. Bissell exhibited a specimen 
of this coconut weevil which was bred from the base of a dry 
coconut leaf from the grove of Mr. Charles H. Bellina at Kuli- 
ouou, Oahu. This leaf was collected the latter part of April, 
1922, and the beetle emerged during June, being the first speci- 
men collected on Oahu.
