Tinea pellionella Linn—Mr. Swezey exhibited a portion of 
a saddle cloth of coarse hair, which Mr. Giffard had found 
infested by this species of clothes moth at his barn on Keeau- 
moku street, Honolulu. Hundreds of the larval cases were pres- 
ent, and a score or more of moths had issued in the two weeks 
the material had been under observation. 

Staphylinid attacking fruit-fly larvae —Mr. Bissell exhibited 
a specimen of a Staphylinid beetle, which was collected by E. A. 
Back and C. E. Pemberton in 1913, and reported by them as 
attacking the larvae of the Mediterranean fruit-fly in Manoa 
Valley, Honolulu. He stated that it was different from any 
species he could find in Hawaiian collections; but that it 
resembled superficially Leurocorynus cephalotes in the Bishop 
Museum collection, and that possibly it was of the same genus. 
Also that it was near to Phyrocephalys coclestis from Australia. 
Pyralid caterpillar on celery —Mr. Fullaway reported tak- 
ing a Pyralid caterpillar on celery which had been imported 
into Honolulu from California.
