  Notes 
  and 
  Exhibitions. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Wilder 
  exhibited 
  specimens 
  of 
  cypress 
  twigs, 
  the 
  bark 
  

   of 
  which 
  was 
  gnawed 
  off 
  by 
  the 
  Roach 
  {Eleutheroda 
  dytiscoides) 
  . 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Muir 
  exhibited 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  Coccinella 
  repanda 
  from 
  

   Fiji. 
  These 
  specimens 
  agreed 
  with 
  Froggatt's 
  figure 
  and 
  

   description 
  (Misc. 
  Pub. 
  No. 
  592 
  Agric. 
  Gaz. 
  of 
  New 
  South 
  Wales, 
  

   1902) 
  also 
  with 
  Crotch 
  (Revision 
  of 
  Coccinellidae), 
  and 
  differed 
  

   from 
  Hawaiian 
  specimens 
  in 
  several 
  features, 
  viz.: 
  smaller 
  and 
  

   less 
  ovate 
  ; 
  much 
  more 
  finely 
  sculptured 
  and 
  duller 
  ; 
  thorax 
  black 
  

   anteriorly 
  edged 
  with 
  orange 
  — 
  red 
  expanding 
  into 
  blotches 
  at 
  

   anterior 
  angles 
  of 
  thorax, 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  specimens 
  having 
  the 
  

   orange-red 
  much 
  larger 
  and 
  a 
  central 
  mark 
  running 
  posteriorly 
  ; 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  mark 
  on 
  elytra 
  V-shaped, 
  not 
  broken 
  into 
  three 
  

   distinct 
  spots; 
  a 
  third 
  spot 
  on 
  posterior 
  end 
  of 
  elytra. 
  The 
  two 
  

   cannot 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  species; 
  which 
  then 
  is 
  C. 
  repandaf 
  

   if 
  the 
  Fijian 
  is 
  the 
  type, 
  then 
  what 
  is 
  the 
  Hawaiian? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  exhibited 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  Cryptorhyncus 
  

   mangiferae 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Haughs 
  in 
  Moanalua 
  Valley 
  upon 
  a 
  

   piece 
  of 
  wood 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  a 
  mango 
  tree 
  below 
  the 
  Polo 
  grounds. 
  

   According 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Haughs 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  are 
  less 
  

   than 
  four 
  or 
  five 
  years 
  old 
  and 
  the 
  question 
  how 
  these 
  insects 
  

   got 
  there 
  is 
  interesting. 
  Upon 
  stabbing 
  the 
  specimens 
  Mr. 
  

   Kotinsky 
  heard 
  them 
  make 
  a 
  distinct 
  noise 
  much 
  like 
  that 
  

   produced 
  by 
  the 
  stridulation 
  of 
  some 
  Longicorns.
