9, 1923. This is further evidence of the general distribution of 
this weevil, though it is so scarce as to be difficult to find. 
Pyralis manthotalis Guen—Mr. Swezey exhibited a speci- 
men of this Pyralid moth collected at light by Mr. Ehrhorn, 
February 9, 1923, in Manoa. This is the first specimen of this 
moth collected for a long time. Dr. Perkins collected one speci- 
men in Honolulu over twenty years ago, and Blackburn had 
collected it in his time. No specimens are in any collections in 
Honolulu. Its habits are not known here. It is a species rang- 
ing from South America, Australia, Malay Archipeligo, South 
Asia, and Airica. 
Maruca testulalis Geyer—Mr. Swezey stated that, since re- 
porting this Pyralid moth at the February meeting, he had come 
across a specimen of it among some insects at the Bishop 
Museum, collected on Tantalus last August by Professor Mosely 
from Ohio, who was visiting the Islands last summer. That 
specimen will be the first capture of this immigrant moth here. 
Pleistodontes froggattt Mayr.—Mr. Swezey reported having 
obtained a total of 211, or 178 females and 33 males of this fig- 
wasp from a single fig picked from the Moreton Bay fig tree 
in Emma Square, Honolulu, February 9, 1923. The tree was 
bearing an immense crop of fruit, many of which had already 
fallen to the ground, each fruit showing numerous exit holes 
where the fig-wasps had issued. The insects had issued before 
the fruits had fallen from the tree. 
Pleistodontes imperialis Saund.—Mr. Swezey reported that 
this fig-wasp was established on a Ficus tree at Dr. Dean’s 
home, Manoa. Examination of a fruit from this tree which 
Dr. Dean had handed to Dr. Lyon disclosed the presence in it 
of a considerable number of the fig-wasps. As none of the 
insects had been distributed in that vicinity, they must have 
reached there of themselves from the tree on Makiki Heights, 
where they had recently been found abundantly established. 
The distance might be about a mile in an air line. 
Fijian Butterfies—Mr. Swezey exhibited a collection of 
butterflies lately received from Hubert W. Simmonds, Govern- 
ment Entomologist at Suva, Fiji. It composed fourteen species
