slightly diverging towards apex; aedeagus small, with a large barb 

 at the apex; genital styles small, slightly narrowed in middle, apex 

 obliquely truncate, inner corner slightly produced. 



Length 2.3 mm.; tegmen 1.5 mm. 

 $ The female I associate with this male is similar in color. 



Length 3 mm.; tegmen 2.3 mm. 



irab. Lanai, north end of highest ridge, 3,000 feet eleva- 

 lK»n. This .species is isolated ; it may come near to N. palushis 

 Ivirk. of which I have only seen a female. 



Genus Kelisia Fieher. 



The four sj^ecies of this genus recorded from the archipelagc. 

 ]i;iv<' the face slightly broader and the sides more arcuate than 

 m the ty])('- s]KX'ies. The cndemism of these insects is doubtful. 



A', sporoholicolfi Kirk. 1*]. V, figs. 21, 21a. 



Anal segment sunk into dorsal edge of pygophor, spines on , 

 ventro-lateral edges large, thick, with blunt apices; genital styles i 

 "leg-of-mutton" shape with blunt apex (viewed in situ they appear 

 much more slender; the figure is from specimen mounted in balsam); 

 aedeagus long, thin, tubular, apex acute, orifice on ventral side one- 

 third from apex; from a dorso-median position arises a small ser- 

 rated crest. 



K. sirczeyi Kii-k. PI V, figs. 20, 20a. 



Genitalia similar to A', .^iioioholicnhi Kirk, but the aedeagus more 

 slender, orifice nearer to apex, the dorsal crest replaced by a few 

 teeth, and the genital styles more slender. 



Female similar to male, with two distinct black marks on the 

 abdomen, one on each side of the ovipositor near the apex, ovipositor 

 brown. 



The ty])o locality is Ivalihi, Oaliu (S\veze_y, March, 1900), 

 but recently it has been taken at Xuuauu Pali (Timberlake 

 and Swczcy, October, 101 C) (diffai-d, Xovcmber, lOlG), off 

 Eragrodis rariahilif< Gaud. 



K. /xil 11(1 inn l\irk. PI. V, figs. IS, 18a. 



Pygophor deeply emarginate on dorsal edge where anal segment 

 is sunk into pygophor; anal spines acute; genital styles short, widest 

 at apex and base, apex truncate; aedeagus small, tubular, basal half 

 larger than apical half, dorsal surface of basal half corrugated. 

 This is very distinct from the former species. Taken by Mr. Fulla- 

 way in Laysan Island.* 



* Now known from several places in south and southeastern 

 Pacific.
