L. le/niae oaliueiisi'^ ^Mnir. 



A long series from various localities from Lanai (Mimro, 

 December, 1916). These show tlie same amomit of variation 

 as specimens from Oahu, ineliuling the immaculate red female 

 which possiblv may he a female forni of L. IcJukic lanaiensis. 

 There is also a form in which the markinii' in the middle of the 

 tegnien is mnch more extensive and considerablv tinged with 

 reddish l)rown. Some of these specimens may belong to L. 

 ohiae Kirk, as I believe that the division l)et\veen L. oliior and 

 L. lehuae is arbitrary. 



L. lelntac haii'aiicnsis ^Imv. 



Many specimens off Metrosideros collhm polymovplia, also 

 some nymphs l)red to maturity on Straiisfiia sp. Kilanea, Ha- 

 waii ((liffard and INFuir, .Tanuary, 1917).
