can species. I have examined specimens collected by Dr. Per- 
kins in Honolulu, and two specimens collected on Hawaii by 
Koebele (his Nos. 1117 and 1560). Although formerly com- 
mon, the species has become extremely reduced in numbers in 
recent years, probably because of competition with the preced- 
ing species, and the only recent specimen that I have seen is a 
male, that apparently belongs here, reared by Mr. Swezey from 
Eucalymnatus tessellatus (Sign.), collected on Puu _ Kapele, 
Kauai, February 14, 1915. 
A Coccophagus sp. was recorded in 1893 by Mr. W. G. Wait 
in the Planters’ Monthly, vol. 12, p. 562, from North Kona, 
Hawaii, as parasitic on Pulvinaria and Lecanium on coffee. It 
was called by the manuscript name, Coccophagus hawatiensis 
Howard, and its identity with the species incorrectly called lecanit 
by Ashmead has been established recently by examination of 
specimens (two females, with the date, October 24, 1893) in the 
National Museum. 
76. Coccophagus ochraceus Howard. 
An insect was recorded by Ashmead in 1901 from Nilauea, 
iJawaii, under this name, but the identification, like several 
others of Ashmead’s, is open to grave doubt. Ochraceus has 
recently become well known to me from California and South 
Africa, and I have seen nothing similar to it from the Hawaiian 
Islands. 
77. Centrodora xiphidii (Perkins). 
Described by Dr. Perkins in 1906, but recorded by Swegey 
in 1905 from Honolulu and Makiki, Oahu; Lahaina, Maui and 
Koloa, Kauai. It was collected also at Hilo, Hawaii, on Octo- 
ber 2, 1913 (Swezey). I have seen no specimens collected 
earlier than 1905. 
78. Prospaltella koebelei Howard. 
Described by Dr. Howard in 1908 from “Hawaii,” his speci- 
mens having been reared by Koebele from Morganella longi- 
spina (Morgan). I have not seen this species. 
79. Prospaltella sp. 
A small black species with a pale yellow scutellum has been
