formations. There are quite a number of species of this genus 

 here, and when their habits are fullj studied they will prol> 

 ablv be found to be parasitic on similar caterpillars to the above. 



Athyr^odon dehilis P. — I have reared from Phlydaenia io- 

 crossa. 



Ailiyreodon sp. — Dr. Perkins records it from a species of 

 Plilyciaen'ia. 



Atrometus tarsatus Ashm. — I have reared from Hyposmo- 

 coma trimaculata. 



Atrometrus sp. — I liave reared from Aristotelia n. sp. in 

 galls on Gouldia. The parasite transformed to maturity within 

 the pupa of its host similarly to Edith romorplia. 



Cremastus hymeniae Vier. — This undoubtedly is an intro- 

 duced species, for it was not known till 1910. It appeared on 

 the lowlands about Honolulu, but has now spread to the moun- 

 tains as well, and all over the Island of Oahu. Its first notice- 

 able host was Hymenla recurvalis Fab., whose life-history was 

 being investigated by Mr. H. O. Marsh in 1910. Other hosts 

 from which I have reared it are : Genopliantis leahi Sw., Plilyc- 

 tania platyhuca Meyr., Phlydaenia calcophanes Meyr., Phlyc- 

 taenia campylotheca Sw., Thyrocopa sp., CrypiopJilebia illepida 

 (Butl.), Capua santalata Sw., Batradiedra cunicidator Busck, 

 Petrodivoa dimor-plia Busck, and Badra straminea. 



L'nnneriinn polynesiale Cam. — This must be an introduc- 

 tion, for its only known host here is the diamond-back cabbage 

 moth (PluteUa mandipciDils Curt.), which it parasitizes very 

 extensively. 



Limnet'hitu hJadchutnl Cam. — This species has a very large 

 number of hosts. I have reared it from the following: Nesa- 

 miptis obsolda (But!.), Scotorythra sp., Nacoleia accepta 

 (Butl.), Nacoleia asaphomhra (Meyr.), Nacoleia anastrepta 

 (Meyr.), Nacoleia blackhyrni (Butl.), Nacoleia localis 

 (Butl.), Nacoleia monogona (Meyr.), Phlydaenia endopyra 

 Meyr., Phlydaenia platyleuca Meyr., Phlyctaenia campylothe- 

 ca Sw., Pyrausta constrida (Butl.), Pyrausta dryadopa JMeyr., 

 Mecyna aurora (Butl.), Scoparia sp., Platyptilia rhynchophora 

 Meyr., Homoeosomci humeralis (Butl:), G-enophantis iodora 

 Meyr., Phthorimaea opercnlelJa (Zell.), Mapsidius auspicata 

 AValsm., Batradiedra sp., Archips capucinus (Walsm.), Tortrix 

 metallurr/ica Walsm., Tortrix thoracina Walsm., and Epagoge 

 infaustana Walsm. In addition to these, it was reared from 

 Phlydaenia stellata (Butl.) by Dr. Perkins, from Phlydaenia
