The following six species of the subgenus Nesoihoe I have

In size and coloration there is a fair amount of variation, 

 specimens from Kahului, Maui, being very small, yellow and 

 almost immaculate. The aedeagus of specimens from Hawaii, 

 Oaliu and Maui are practically identical and there is very little 

 variation in the genital styles. All the macropterous specimens 

 I have seen are females. The genital styles of thie species 

 are typical of a large grou]) and are here seen in a simple 

 condition. In flat view they look like a pair of short, thick 

 legs with the heels turned inward. One of the chief modifica- 

 tions on this is for an elevation to arise near the inner edge 

 a little below the apex, about where the ankle bone should be. 

 For the sake of brevitv and clearness I shall call this elevation
