nels more or less. He was of the opinion that this was the first 

 record of this weevil attacking corn. 



Mr. Eock reported having observed a good deal of dead 

 Hawaiian sumach at Kailua, Hawaii. He thought it had appar-

Notes on Maui Insects. 



BY D. B. KUHNS. 



Following are a few observations on insects during a recent 

 trip to Maui : 



At the hotel in Wailuku, T was astonished at the number of 

 eg:g batches of Siphanta acuta Walk, that were attached to the 

 veranda post, sides of the walls and leaves of the bird's-nest 

 fern, Asplenium nldas L. TTpon examination almost every 

 batch of eggs showed the exit holes of a parasite, probably 

 AphanoniPrus pusiUus Perk. A papaya tree in Judge Kings- 

 bury's yard was riddled by larvs and adults of Pseudolus lon- 

 gulus Boh. 



In company with Mr. A. Hayselden at lahaina, I observed 

 Epitragus diremptus Ivarsch. feeding on the leaves of an orange 

 tree, which seems contrary to the general opinion that this insect 

 does not feed on green leaves. 



A large A raucaria tree in a yard was the liome of thousands 

 of ants of the species Camponotus maculatus var. haivaiiensis 

 Forel. They had eaten large galleries underneath the bark of 

 the tree, and if tliey had not been disturbed they would have 

 soon killed the tree. 



The cocoanut leafroller Omiodei^ hlacl-hurnl Butl. had 

 stripped the leaves of all the cocoanut trees in Wailuku, but at 

 Lahaina the damage was not noticeable, although the insects, 

 were present.
