as well. I'licv hnrrow in the pith (if sdiiic phiuts, even in livini^ 

 plants to some extent. I have fonnd them on recently dead 

 branches of "mama-ke." They are brownish and well protected 

 by silken tnnnels. 



F.VM ILV II VPO.XO.M KlTrOAK. 



HyposHiocoma rluloitclhi Walsm. — This variable species has 

 a long slender whitish larva which bores in dead branches of 

 "niamake." Prol)ably they are to be fotmd in other trees as 

 well, bnt all that I have reared were from "mamake,'' though 

 I have often fonnd similar larvae in dead branches of many 

 kinds of trees. This species is remarkable for the fact that the 

 larval habit is different from others of the gentts, it being a 

 wood-borer and without a case; whereas, the larvae which are 

 kno^vn of this Hawaiian genus with 177 species, live in cases, 

 each peculiar to the species. 



Hyposmocoma sp. — I have found the larval cases of some 

 species which I was unable to rear, inside burrows of other 

 insects in dead branches of "manmke." 



FAMIIA'' TORTinCIDAE. 



Arcliips postvittanus (Walk.) 



Amorhia emigratella Busck. — The green larvae of these 

 two yellowish introduced Tortricids are leaf-folders or leaf- 

 rollers on many kinds of plants and shrubs. I have fotnid them 

 on "mamake." 



Epagoge infaustana Walsm. — This is a native Tortricid 

 whose greenish larvae feed in the tips of growing shoots of " 

 ''mamake" ; also in folded leaves or between fastened-togetlier 

 leaves. I do not know of their feeding on any other plant. 



rA:\[TT.Y TIXETDAE. 



Opogona aurisquamosa (Butl. )- — Larvae of this Tineid T 

 have often found in decaying branches of ''mamake" and be- 

 neath dead bark. They are rather general scavengers, feeding 

 among dead leaves and in dead branches of many kinds of plants. 

 They are often abundant in dead sugar cane and that which has 

 been much eaten by the cane borer. 



Ereunetis minuscula (Butl.) — Larvae of this Tineid have 

 somewhat similar habits to the preceding species, though
