18 Psyche [February 



frankly to admit his mistakes, he wrote to me some time before 

 his death that his "Fauna Hawaiiensis, Hemiptera," pubUshed 

 in 190^2, had to be entirely remade as he under few specific names 

 had lumped together a great many distinct species. He had 

 already published a revision of the Hawaiian species of the genera 

 Acanthia and Reduviolus, but from his meagre and inadequate 

 descriptions (of the Acanthia, for instance, and of his numerous 

 new "leaf -hoppers") few of his species can be recognized except 

 those that have been figured. Under these circumstances it is 

 sincerely to be hoped that his collections, including his numerous 

 types and a vast material of undescribed Hawaiian forms, will 

 ultimately be placed in some American or European museum, 

 as they are practically inaccessible in Honolulu. 



Luteva rufoannulata sp. nov. 



Pale flavo-testaceous, glabrous, prosternum and mesosternum sparingly 

 pilose, head with a basal lateral fuscous spot, prothorax with a lateral fuscous 

 band, mesothorax with a fine lateral white keel margined with fuscous, an 

 apical spot and three basal spots to mesonotum fuscous, scutellum with a median 

 fuscous line not reaching apex, antennae pale testaceous, first and second joint 

 with an apical white ring, the ring of the first joint being broader, third and 

 fourth joint slightly infuscated, legs pale testaceous, fore coxae from apex to 

 beyond middle ferruginous, fore femora with three incomplete ferruginous 

 rings, fore tibiae infuscated at apex, middle femora with the apex white pre- 

 ceded by a ferruginous ring, middle tibiae narrowly white at base and with 

 a subbasal fuscous ring, their apex with the tarsi fuscous (hind legs wanting, 

 presumably colored as the middle legs), hemelytra whitish hyaline, corium 

 with four subcostal brown spots, the first a little before and the second immedi- 

 ately behind the middle, the third near the anterior basal angle of the membra- 

 nal discal cell, the fourth at apical angle of corium, veins of the membrane 

 greyish fuscous and margined with the same color, discal cell behind the 

 middle and inner apical cell in the middle with a blackish streak, the vein 

 separating the two outer cells of the membrane with a fuscous spot at its 

 outer end, the anterior outer cell with two fuscous spots, the posterior with 

 one such spot. Head distinctly shorter than pronotum, the postocular part 

 seen from above gradually and rather strongly narrowing backward to near 

 the base where it is suddenly constricted, first and second joint of rostrum of 

 equal length, third joint a little longer than second, first joint of antennae 

 reaching somewhat beyond the middle of the hemelytra, one third longer than 

 second joint, third joint about three times shorter than second. Pronotum 

 and mesonotum of subequal length. Anterior outer cell of membrane less 

 than two times longer than posterior outer cell. Fore coxae scarcely shorter 

 than the head and pronotum together, trochanters very finely and sparingly
