   Fain. 
  Nabidae. 
  

  

  I 
  formerly 
  treated 
  this 
  as 
  a 
  subfamily 
  of 
  the 
  Eeduviidae, 
  

   but 
  the 
  labial 
  structure, 
  the 
  venation 
  and 
  the 
  constitution 
  of 
  

   the 
  abdominal 
  segments, 
  abundantly 
  justify 
  its 
  rank 
  as 
  a 
  

   separate 
  family. 
  

  

  So 
  far 
  as 
  known, 
  the 
  ova 
  are 
  inserted 
  in 
  slits 
  made 
  in 
  leaves 
  

   or 
  stems 
  (^^) 
  thus 
  widely 
  diifering 
  from 
  the 
  true 
  Eeduviidae. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  are 
  all 
  presumably 
  insectivorous; 
  Beduviolus 
  

   lativentris 
  preys 
  an 
  the 
  eggs 
  of 
  the 
  butterfly 
  Pieris 
  (^^), 
  

   while 
  Arachnocoris 
  spp. 
  live 
  en 
  famille 
  with 
  colonies 
  of 
  

   spiders, 
  for 
  what 
  purpose 
  is 
  not 
  quite 
  clear 
  (^^). 
  R. 
  innotatus 
  

   is 
  an 
  ally 
  of 
  the 
  Sugar 
  Planter. 
  

  

  Nesotyphlias 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  For 
  the 
  present, 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  briefly 
  separated 
  from 
  Beduvio- 
  

   lus 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  ocelli, 
  by 
  the 
  clavus 
  being 
  fused 
  with 
  the 
  

   corium, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  minute 
  membrane. 
  Type 
  Nobis 
  ( 
  ?) 
  

   lusciosus 
  White. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  true 
  that 
  none 
  of 
  these 
  characters 
  by 
  itself 
  is 
  sufficient 
  

   to 
  form 
  a 
  genus, 
  but 
  taken 
  together 
  and 
  considered 
  from 
  the 
  

   special 
  aspects 
  of 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  Fauna, 
  I 
  think 
  the 
  recognition 
  

   of 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  allied 
  species 
  as 
  a 
  separate, 
  well 
  defined 
  group 
  

   of 
  Nabidae 
  is 
  justified. 
  

  

  12 
  lusciosus 
  (F. 
  B. 
  White.) 
  

  

  There 
  are, 
  I 
  think, 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  species 
  standing, 
  in 
  my 
  

   collection, 
  under 
  this 
  name. 
  The 
  nymphs 
  are 
  not 
  remarkable. 
  

   They 
  have 
  well-developed 
  tegminal 
  pads 
  and 
  are 
  found 
  on 
  koa 
  

   and 
  ohia, 
  on 
  the 
  lookout 
  for 
  prey.

  In 
  the 
  "Fauna 
  Hawaiiensis," 
  I 
  have 
  fallen 
  into 
  confusion 
  

   over 
  three 
  species. 
  They 
  are 
  as 
  follows: 
  

  

  (a) 
  iNNOTATus 
  Blackburn=i^. 
  hlachhurni 
  Kirkaldy, 
  an 
  

   Australian 
  immigrant 
  (not 
  Blackburn).
