  NOTES 
  AND 
  EXHIBITION. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Giffard 
  exhibited 
  three 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  rare 
  endemic 
  

   Cossonid 
  Heterampims 
  hittelliis 
  Sharp, 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  taken 
  in 
  

   September 
  on 
  Tantalus, 
  Oahu, 
  at 
  about 
  1800ft. 
  elevation. 
  The 
  

   specimens 
  were 
  found 
  on 
  damp 
  ground 
  under 
  decaying 
  leaves. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Giffard 
  also 
  exhibited 
  numerous 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  com- 
  

   moner 
  H. 
  wollastojiiy 
  H. 
  foveatus 
  and 
  H. 
  Hliaiin 
  taken 
  on 
  

   Tantalus 
  at 
  various 
  elevations 
  between 
  1200 
  and 
  2000ft. 
  in 
  rotting 
  

   fern-stumps. 
  The 
  only 
  remaining 
  recorded 
  Oahuan 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  Heteramphus 
  which 
  he 
  had 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  collect 
  so 
  far, 
  was 
  

   H. 
  cyli7idric2is. 
  This 
  latter 
  species 
  has 
  heretofore 
  been 
  common 
  

   at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  leaves, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  stems, 
  of 
  Astelia. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  

   much 
  smaller 
  size 
  than 
  all 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  from 
  Oahu. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Giffard 
  also 
  presented 
  notes 
  on 
  Coccinella 
  repanda 
  Thunl). 
  

   and 
  Coelophora 
  iyiaeqiialis 
  Fab., 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  stated 
  that 
  Prof. 
  

   Koebele 
  claimed 
  that 
  the 
  Coccinellidae 
  which 
  he 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  

   Hawaiian 
  Islands 
  from 
  Australia 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Coccinella 
  

   repanda 
  was 
  in 
  reality 
  the 
  typical 
  Coelophora 
  inaegualis 
  . 
  Until 
  

   the 
  orignal 
  types 
  (which 
  are 
  in 
  Europe) 
  of 
  both 
  the 
  species 
  re- 
  

   ferred 
  to, 
  have 
  been 
  examined, 
  there 
  will, 
  however, 
  continue 
  to 
  

   be 
  a 
  doubt 
  as 
  to 
  which 
  is 
  which. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Giffard 
  exhibited 
  the 
  following 
  Coccinellidae, 
  with 
  notes 
  

   on 
  their 
  introduction 
  into 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  Islands 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Koebele: 
  

  

  Serangium 
  niaculigeruni 
  Blackburn.

  over 
  from 
  Sydney 
  

   in

  Taken 
  by 
  Koebele 
  in 
  various 
  locations 
  of 
  northern 
  

   New 
  South 
  Wales, 
  also 
  Toowoomba 
  and 
  Brisbane. 
  The 
  north- 
  

   ern 
  species 
  described 
  from 
  Cairns 
  may 
  be 
  only 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  the 
  

   same. 
  

  

  Pentilia 
  nigra 
  Weise? 
  Sent

  both 
  localities.

  feeding 
  on 
  Lepido- 
  

   sapkes 
  beckii; 
  already 
  numerous

  a 
  valuable
