  NOTES 
  AND 
  EXHIBITION 
  OF 
  SPECIMENS. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Wilder 
  was 
  glad 
  to 
  be 
  informed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Craw 
  that 
  the 
  

   scale 
  bug 
  recently 
  collected 
  on 
  his 
  mango 
  trees 
  was 
  not 
  Gocctis 
  

   mangiferae 
  as 
  originally 
  supposed. 
  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  stated 
  that 
  

   while 
  this 
  scale 
  insect 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  mango 
  trees 
  purchased 
  

   in 
  the 
  Moanalua 
  Gardens, 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  found 
  in 
  Mr. 
  Wilder's 
  

   yard. 
  The 
  Coccus 
  observed 
  on 
  trees 
  other 
  than 
  of 
  Moanalua- 
  

   origin 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  Coccus 
  acuminatus. 
  As 
  regards 
  the 
  white 
  

   "cottony" 
  or 
  "felty" 
  scale 
  on 
  the 
  Indian 
  Mango 
  trees 
  in 
  Moan- 
  

   alua, 
  while 
  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  was 
  inclined 
  to 
  group 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  

   Diaspidinae, 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  L. 
  Marlatt 
  of 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Ento- 
  

   mology, 
  in 
  a 
  recent 
  letter, 
  unhesitatingly 
  called 
  it 
  Odonaspis 
  

   sp., 
  and 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  E. 
  Green 
  believed 
  "that 
  it 
  will 
  more 
  probably 
  

   fall 
  within 
  the 
  Dactylopiines." 
  A 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  early 
  stages 
  is 
  

   doubtless 
  necessary 
  to 
  the 
  elucidation 
  of 
  the 
  problem, 
  but 
  this 
  

   will 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  done 
  from 
  the 
  material 
  on 
  hand 
  as 
  all 
  the 
  

   known 
  plants 
  infested 
  with 
  it 
  were 
  fumigated 
  and 
  the 
  insect 
  

   probably 
  exterminated. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  exhibited 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  Danais 
  plexippus, 
  the 
  

   legs 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  encircled 
  and 
  held 
  fast 
  by 
  the 
  tendril 
  of 
  a 
  

   cucurbitaceous 
  vine. 
  When 
  discovered 
  the 
  insect 
  was 
  dead, 
  

   and 
  was 
  being 
  attacked 
  by 
  ants. 
  There 
  was 
  no 
  means 
  of 
  

   ascertaining 
  whether 
  the 
  butterfly 
  died 
  a 
  natural 
  death, 
  or 
  was 
  

   caught 
  and 
  held 
  fast 
  in 
  the 
  clutches 
  of 
  the 
  tendril 
  while 
  

   resting 
  over 
  night.
