This and the preceding species were l)re(l from eggs of a 

 Jassid {Draeculacepliala nwllipes) occurring in the swamps at 

 Kewalo, Honolulu. Specimens were subniitt(Kl to Dr. Perkius 

 for determination, who pronounced them new species in their 

 respective genera and turned them over to the writer for d(^ 

 scription.
