'i'liis s])ecies was described by Kirkaldy from specimens 

 taken on Oahii, Hawaiian Islands, and afterwaixl taken bj 

 D. 'i\ Fullaway in Laysan Island to the northwest. I now! 

 find specimens among- onr material from Fiji, Queensland,! 

 Java, Ceylon and the Philippines. The genitalia of specimens 

 from these widely separated localities are similar but the color- 

 ation varies. The prevailing color of the Hawaiian spocimensi 

 is brownish yellow with a variable amount of infuscation on thei 

 face between the carinae and over the alxlonien ; there is- 

 tendency foi- the mesonotum to darken and foi- a tinge ofi 

 fuscous to appear over the claval and cubital cells. Among the* 

 nine s])ecimens fi-om Rewa, Ba and Xav>ia, Fiji, the color is; 

 darkei- (except the pronotum and carinae of head) especiallji 

 the mesonotum which is dark and shiny in sonu> specimens; iij 

 the two Queensland specimens, the one from Pekalongan, Java, 

 the one from Ceylon and the five specimens from Mt. jMaqui- 

 ling, Luzon, this tendency is carried still further. In some of 

 the Philippine specimens the ]>ronotum and the carinae of thei 

 frons stand out very light against the dark intercarinal spaces 

 and the shiny dark mesonotum ; the abdomen is also dark 

 bi'own in these specimens. 



In spite of this difference in coloration I do not feel jus- 

 tified in giving a specific, or even a subspecific, name to any 

 of these geograpliical varieties. AYhile the Queensland, Java 

 and Phili])i)ine specimens could be grouped together it would 

 be difficidt to place the Fiji specimens in either groups, as
