  The 
  parasitic 
  Hymenoptera 
  are 
  well 
  represented 
  by 
  the 
  

   usual 
  Hav^^aiian 
  types, 
  and 
  now 
  also 
  by 
  a 
  good 
  many 
  imported 
  

   species. 
  The 
  finest 
  species 
  are 
  the 
  curious 
  Ophionine, 
  Bancho- 
  

   gastra 
  nigri, 
  and 
  the 
  Pimpline, 
  Glyptogastra 
  hawaiiensis, 
  both 
  

   found 
  in 
  the 
  fern 
  forest. 
  Ophions 
  of 
  various 
  species 
  and 
  genera 
  

   are 
  extremely 
  numerous, 
  and 
  often 
  scores 
  of 
  individuals 
  may 
  be 
  

   seen 
  resting 
  under 
  a 
  single 
  large 
  leaf, 
  while 
  frequently 
  a 
  regular 
  

   swarm 
  flies 
  off, 
  as 
  one 
  disturbs 
  the 
  dead 
  fronds 
  of 
  the 
  large 
  tree- 
  

   ferns. 
  

  

  LEPIDOPTERA. 
  

  

  The 
  Lepidoptera 
  are 
  probably 
  the 
  most 
  richly 
  represented 
  

   of 
  all 
  the 
  Orders 
  of 
  insects 
  at 
  Kilauea, 
  the 
  great 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  

   that 
  frequent 
  Olaa 
  coming 
  up 
  to 
  within 
  a 
  mile 
  or 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  

   crater. 
  I 
  will 
  merely 
  mention 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  more 
  interesting 
  

   species. 
  Deilephila 
  pyrias, 
  particularly 
  common 
  in 
  Olaa, 
  is 
  fre- 
  

   quent, 
  and 
  its 
  caterpillar 
  is 
  often 
  met 
  with 
  on 
  forest 
  trees, 
  

   Euphorbia, 
  Bobea 
  and 
  others, 
  being 
  polyphagous. 
  A 
  beautiful 
  

   Plusia, 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  drawn 
  up 
  a 
  description 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  

   of 
  P. 
  newelli, 
  after 
  its 
  discoverer, 
  Brother
