Pygophor near to bobeae but the aedeagus somewhat flattened at 

 apex, the spine on right side near apex large, curved and slightly 

 flattened; styles very much as in bobeae.

I have only seen females of N. frigidula and N. per-

The following six species of the subgenus Nesoihoe I have 

 seen no specimens of: liida, lalm, pulani, terryi, pluvialis, 

 silveshis. 



ALOHA Kirkaldy.

In size and coloration there is a fair amount of variation, 

 specimens from Kahului, Maui, being very small, yellow and 

 almost immaculate. The aedeagus of specimens from Haw^aii, 

 Oahu and Maui are practically identical and there is very little 

 variation in the genital styles. All the macropterous specimens 

 I have seen are females. The genital styles of thie species 

 are typical of a large group and are here seen in a simple 

 condition. In flat view they look like a pair of short, thick 

 legs with the heels turned inward. One of the chief modifica- 

 tions on this is for an elevation to arise near the inner edge 

 a little below the apex, about where the ankle bone should be. 

 For the sake of brevity and clearness I shall call this elevation
