S. Kona, Hawaii, August 1, 1922. The male genitalia agree 
perfectly with the Oahu form, but the coloration of this Kona 
form is much darker than those from Oahu, and is nearer in 
color to the Fijian form described by Muir. Mr. Swezey 
reported having collected this same Delphacid in August, 1919, 
on a small swamp sedge at Honaunau, which is only a few miles 
further south than where Mr. Giffard’s specimens were collected. 
Mediterranean fruit-fly—Mr. Wilder exhibited some small 
green apples grown on a tree near the Territorial prison at 
Kalihi, -which he suspected were infested with the Mediter- 
ranean fruit-fly. So far nothing but Drosophilids had been bred 
from them. Mr. Crawford mentioned that there appeared re- 
cently in a California horticultural journal the report that larvae 
and pupae of the Mediterranean fruit-fly had been found in a 
package containing avocadoes, but marked “groceries,” that had 
been received at Los Angeles through the mail from Honolulu. 
This was followed by a general discussion on fruit-flies and 
the methods of quarantine against them prevalent in California. 
Pink Boll-worm.—Mr. Fullaway stated that what was appar- 
ently this pest had been reported by Simmonds in Fiji. 
Zoraptera sp.—Mr. Fullaway reported collecting this remark- 
able insect at Kokee, Kauai, where Mr. Swezey first discovered 
it last year. He secured what he took to be a winged form of it. 
Pontia rapae—Mr. Swezey reported seeing one or more cab- 
bage butterflies flying on board the steamship ‘ Wilhelmina,” 
September 4 and 5, being the last two days of the voyage of 
the steamer from San Francisco to Honolulu. A butterfly was 
seen on four different occasions, but it could not be determined 
whether there were that many different individuals or if it was 
the same individual observed that many times. As there were 
crates of cabbages on the deck of the steamer, it is inferred that 
the butterflies seen had issued from chrysalids that were among 
the cabbage leaves. This demonstrates how some of the immi- 
grant insects could have arrived, and it is very probable that 
the Syrphid fly, Allograpta obliqua, came in just this way, as its 
larvae feed on plant lice, and cabbages are often infested with 
them.
