1922, and two males and one female were reared from 
Gracilaria marginestrigata Walsm. on Sida, collected at the 
Peninsula on March 11, 1923. The female has a small, round, 
black spot beneath the stigmal vein, and the male has three- 
branched antennae. 
Berecyntus sp.— Mr. Timberlake exhibited many living 
females of a new species of Berecyntus reared April 24, from 
an Agrotis larva (species not determined), collected February 
23, 1923, at Pasadena, California. The species is evidently 
polyembronic, the females ovipositing in the eggs of the host. 
Eggs of Spodoptera mauritia Boisd. and of Plusia chalcitis Esp. 
when placed with the females were not noticed, but eggs of 
Agrotis ypsilon Rott. immediately caused great excitement 
among the parasites and were oviposited in freely. Sometimes 
two or even three females were seen ovipositing in the same 
ege. 
Bruchobius sp—Mr. Timberlake exhibited specimens of a 
Pteromalid provisionally determined as a new species of 
Bruchobius, which has not been recorded from the Islands. 
One female was taken on the laboratory window September 13, 
1916, and recently large numbers have been issuing from 
pigeon peas infested by Bruchus quadrimaculatus Fab. and 
Bruchus chinensis Linn. (O. H. Swezey, collector). Two 
specimens of the same parasite from Bangalore, India, were 
also shown, which had been bred from Bruchus. 
Coptotermes intrudens Oshima—Mr. Bryan reported that 
a considerable flight of these termites was noticed about the 
business district of Honolulu on April 1, 2, and 3, 1923. Also 
that Dr. Illingworth had noticed them swarming about lights 
in the Honolulu Public Library on April 26, 1923. 
Mr. Muir exhibited specimens of Odynerus nigripennis 
(Holmg.), Echthromorpha maculipennis Holmg., Oodemas aenes- 
‘cens Boh., Scymnus kinbergt Boh., Sarcophagus dux Thoms., 
and Sarcophagus barbata Thoms., which he had taken to Europe 
at Mr. Timberlake’s suggestion to compare with types at Stock- 
holm. Both Dr. A. Roman and Mr. Muir had compared these 
insects with the types, and concluded they were rightly deter- 
mined. They will be placed in the collection of the Society.
