Notes on Maui Insects. 



BY D. B. KiniNS. 



Following are a few observations on insects during a recent 

 trip to Maui : 



At the hotel in Wailuku, I was astonished at the number of 

 egg batches of Siphanta acuta Walk, that were attached to the 

 veranda post, sides of the walls and leaves of the bird's-nest 

 fern, Asplenium nidas L. Upon examination almost every 

 batch of eggs showed the exit holes of a parasite, probably 

 Aphanomerus pusilliis Perk. A papaya tree in Judge Kings- 

 bury's yard was riddled by larvir and adults of Pseudolus lon- 

 gulus Boh. 



In company with Mr. A. Hayselden at Lahaina, I observed 

 Epitragus diremptus Karsch. feeding on the leaves of an orange 

 tree, which seems contrary to the general opinion that this insect 

 does not feed on green leaves. 



A large Araucaria tree in a yard was the home of thousands 

 of ants of the species Camponoius maculatiis var. hawaiiensis 

 Forel. They had eaten large galleries underneath the bark of 

 the tree, and if they had not been disturbed they would have 

 soon killed the tree. 



The cocoanut leafroller Omiodes hlael-hurni Butl. had 

 stripped the leaves of all the cocoanut trees in AVailuku, but at 

 Lahaina the damage was not noticeable, although the insects 

 were present.
