  A 
  Pseudogonatopus 
  is 
  parasitic 
  on 
  small 
  Delphacids 
  and 
  

   apparently 
  does 
  not 
  differ 
  specifically 
  from 
  the 
  somewhat 
  

   variable 
  species 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  islands. 
  Echthrodelphax 
  

   jairchildii 
  is 
  also 
  commonly 
  parasitic 
  on 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  species 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  leaf-hoppers. 
  One 
  or 
  two 
  species 
  of 
  Cynipids 
  have 
  

   been 
  taken, 
  probably 
  species 
  of 
  Aglaotoma, 
  and 
  most 
  likely 
  

   parasitic 
  on 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  the 
  small 
  flies 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Drosophila, 
  

   in 
  company 
  with 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  elsewhere 
  noticed 
  them. 
  A 
  

   Diapriid 
  is 
  also 
  probably 
  a 
  parasite 
  on 
  some 
  Dipterous 
  insect. 
  

   In 
  the 
  Chalcid 
  group 
  we 
  may 
  note 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  Toxeuma 
  

   and 
  Neolelaps, 
  and 
  several 
  of 
  Eupelmus. 
  The 
  latter 
  are 
  inter- 
  

   esting 
  from 
  their 
  diversity 
  of 
  habits, 
  some 
  being 
  parasites 
  of 
  

   Coleopterous 
  larvae, 
  some 
  of 
  Chrysopides, 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  Orthop- 
  

   terous 
  eggs. 
  Anastatus 
  koehelei 
  is 
  a 
  common 
  parasite 
  in 
  

   Locustid 
  eggs, 
  and 
  of 
  two 
  other 
  Eupelmines 
  (one 
  forming 
  the 
  

   rather 
  remarkable 
  genus 
  Solindenia) 
  the 
  hosts 
  are 
  not 
  known. 
  

   An 
  Astichus, 
  and 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  other 
  Eulophids 
  of 
  various 
  groups, 
  

   occur. 
  Polynema 
  reduvioli 
  is 
  often 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  wing, 
  and 
  two 
  

   other 
  mymarids, 
  one 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  parasitic 
  in 
  leaf-hopper's 
  eggs, 
  

   have 
  also 
  been 
  taken. 
  

  

  The 
  Ichneumons 
  known 
  in 
  the 
  locality 
  are 
  very 
  few, 
  Evania 
  

   sericea, 
  a 
  cockroach 
  parasite, 
  has 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  other 
  

   countries. 
  Echthronwrpha 
  macuHpenms 
  and 
  Pimpla 
  hawaii- 
  

   ensis, 
  the 
  Ophionines 
  Enicospilus 
  mauicola, 
  kaalae, 
  dispilus, 
  

   molokaiensis 
  and 
  dimidiatus 
  are 
  all 
  parasites 
  of 
  various 
  species 
  of 
  

   Lepidoptera, 
  Omiodes, 
  Agrotis, 
  Vanessa, 
  and 
  Scotorythra 
  being 
  

   attacked 
  by 
  them. 
  One 
  or 
  two 
  species 
  of 
  Limnerium 
  are 
  

   common 
  parasites 
  of 
  various 
  Pyralids 
  and 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  species 
  

   of 
  AtromeHis 
  may 
  also 
  be 
  found. 
  

  

  The 
  two 
  common 
  Braconids 
  parasitic 
  on 
  Longicorns 
  of 
  all 
  

   kinds, 
  and 
  Chelontts 
  blackburni 
  and 
  Phanerotoma, 
  though 
  described 
  

   from 
  the 
  islands, 
  are 
  certainly 
  all 
  introduced, 
  but 
  the 
  little 
  

   apterous 
  Ecphylopsis 
  is, 
  no 
  doubt, 
  endemic. 
  

  

  COLEOPTERA. 
  

  

  The 
  native 
  beetles 
  of 
  Tantalus 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  collected 
  

   and 
  many 
  species 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  forest. 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  

   are 
  only 
  found 
  on 
  or 
  about 
  this 
  locality, 
  or 
  at 
  least 
  are 
  much 
  

   more 
  abundant 
  here 
  than 
  elsewhere. 
  This 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  be 
  

   partly 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  rainfall 
  being 
  largely 
  precipitated
