  been 
  accidentally 
  introduced. 
  The 
  species 
  occurs 
  thruout 
  

   the 
  United 
  States 
  from 
  Massachusetts 
  to 
  Colorado, 
  and 
  from 
  

   Canada 
  to 
  Florida 
  and 
  Texas. 
  It 
  is 
  recorded 
  as 
  bred 
  from 
  

   eggs 
  of 
  cotton 
  worm 
  (Aletia 
  argillacea), 
  cotton 
  boll-worm 
  

   (Heliothis 
  armigera), 
  zebra 
  moth 
  {Mamestra 
  picta), 
  codling 
  

   moth 
  (Cydia 
  pomonella) 
  and 
  lanassa 
  lignicolor. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  valuable 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  large 
  list 
  of 
  parasites 
  

   preying 
  upon 
  leaf-roller 
  caterpillars 
  in 
  these 
  islands. 
  No 
  

   doubt 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  to 
  be 
  well 
  distributed 
  already.

  NOTES 
  AND 
  EXHIBITION 
  OF 
  SPECIMENS. 
  

  

  Mr, 
  Terry 
  exhibited 
  ia 
  native 
  Dipteron 
  (Drosophila 
  

   picticomis, 
  Grimshaw) 
  bred 
  in 
  Honolulu 
  from 
  decayed 
  

   bananas, 
  from 
  a 
  few 
  females 
  taken 
  on 
  Tantalus. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Kotinsky 
  exhibited 
  a 
  female 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  Orth- 
  

   opteron 
  Holochlora 
  venosa 
  Stal, 
  collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  A. 
  Jordan 
  

   in 
  an 
  orchard 
  up 
  Nuuanu 
  Valley 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  week 
  of 
  

   April. 
  Mr. 
  Giffard's 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  specimen 
  seen 
  on 
  

   these 
  islands, 
  about 
  a 
  year 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  ago, 
  was 
  recorded 
  in 
  

   these 
  Proceedings 
  (page 
  32), 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  assumed 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  

   species 
  of 
  Microceyitrum. 
  Since 
  then 
  another 
  specimen 
  was 
  

   collected 
  in 
  Makiki 
  and 
  deposited 
  in 
  the 
  Territorial 
  entomo- 
  

   logical 
  collection, 
  and 
  more 
  recently 
  Mr. 
  Jordan 
  collected 
  

   several 
  females 
  in 
  various 
  stages 
  of 
  development 
  in 
  Nuuanu 
  

   Valley. 
  Egg-batches 
  in 
  slits 
  of 
  young 
  shoots 
  of 
  Mango 
  and 
  

   Orange 
  had 
  since 
  been 
  collected, 
  and 
  the 
  young 
  hatched 
  from 
  

   them 
  were 
  submitted 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Swezej^, 
  who 
  stated 
  that 
  they 
  looked 
  

   different 
  from 
  similar 
  stages 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  Locustids 
  on 
  these 
  

   islands. 
  Dr. 
  Perkins 
  had 
  in 
  his 
  collection 
  similar 
  egg 
  batches 
  

   collected 
  in 
  Honolulu 
  some 
  ten 
  years 
  ago. 
  So 
  far 
  no 
  parasites 
  

   had 
  been 
  bred 
  from 
  the 
  eggs, 
  and 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  interesting 
  

   to 
  find 
  out 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  the 
  appparent 
  rarity 
  of 
  the 
  species. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Craw 
  reported 
  the 
  receipt 
  of 
  a 
  colony 
  of 
  parasites 
  of 
  

   orange 
  aphis 
  from 
  California 
  and 
  the 
  difficulty 
  of 
  locating 
  it
