Specimens for the above tables were collected in Makiki 

 Valley, Honolulu, March, 1905. 



These tables show the range of variation in length of teg- 

 mina, and that the length of liegmina is not in accordance with 

 variations in size of the body of the insect. It also shows pro- 

 portionate number of specimens having the diflferent lengths of 

 tegmina. It is seen that specimens with sliort tegmina are much 

 the most numerous in this particular locality; whereas, Mr. Per- 

 kins states that when first it became common around Honolulu 

 about 5 years ago, there were no slior't-winged forms. 



In the females, when the tegmina are 4.5-6.5 mm. long they 

 • extend over 3 or 4 'segments of the abdomen, and the wings 

 are sHghtly shorter; when tegmina are 7.5 mm, long they ex- 

 tend over 6 segments of the abdomen, and the wings are i . 5 

 mm. shorter; when the tegmina are 12 mm. long they extend 

 about to the tip of the abdomen, 'and the wings are 2 mm. 

 shorter; when the tegmina are 17-18 mm. long they extend be- 

 yond the tip of the abdomen reaching about to the apex of the 

 femora, and the wings extend about 4-5 mm. beyond the teg- 

 mina. about to the tip of the ovipositor.
