 ex Cheirodendron gaudichaudii. Pnnwaawaa hill, X. Kona, 

 3800 ft, elev., 8 adults and 3 young, including 2 macropterous 

 females (Xo. 20), off the lower branches of Anona cherinioUa 

 under which and almost touching were a mixture of weeds in- 

 cluding Bidens pUosa. Verbena bonarioisis and Erigeron cana-^ 

 dense. At same spot 2 males and 5 females with 2 nymphs 

 (Xo. 20a) were taken off the mixed weeds above mentioned. 

 In same locality on a large area Avliere there were no trees: 

 or shrubs but only large ])atches of dwarf Bidens pilosa grow- 

 ing amongst immature and almost dry Bermuda grass, 3 males 

 and 4 females and nymphs, including 1 macropterous female 

 (Xo. 21) were taken. The macropterous form was not previous- 

 ly known and the species has hitherto been taken only on Oahn 

 viz. : in Palolo Valley and on Tantalus. In Xorth Kona it is 

 evidently attached to the obnoxious weed Bidens piIos(( and 

 Cheriodendron gaudicliaadii, but unfortunately I had no oppor- 

 tunity to rear any of the nymphs taken. On Oaliu, Timber- 

 lake has taken series of l)oth sexes off Campylotheca niacro- 

 earpa and S^vezey one male off Lyfltnini sp., which latter may 

 have been accidental.
